OET (OET-LV) And there_will_be signs in the_sun, and moon, and stars, and anguish of_nations on the earth, with perplexity of_the_sound of_the_sea and surf,
OET (OET-RV) [ref]“There’ll be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and anguish in countries around the world as they’re puzzled by the noise of the sea and surf.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν
anguish ˱of˲_nations
As in 21:10, the term nations here refers to the people of one nationality or ethnic group. Alternate translation: “the people of the nations will be distressed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου
in with perplexity ˱of˲_/the/_sound ˱of˲_/the/_sea and surf
These storms could be literal. Jesus may be saying that there will be larger and more frequent hurricanes at this time. However, they could also be figurative. Jesus may be using the image of being in a storm at sea to portray how the people will feel about what they are experiencing. You could represent this possible metaphor as a simile in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They will be as anxious as they would be in a great storm at sea”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου
˱of˲_/the/_sound ˱of˲_/the/_sea and surf
Jesus may be using the words roaring and tossing together to depict a great storm in the ocean, whose waves would rise up high and make loud sounds. If you decide to retain the metaphor in your translation, you could translate these words with a single expression. Alternate translation: “about the great storms at sea”
21:25 The prophets predicted that heavenly signs would precede the judgment of God at the end of the age (Isa 13:9-10; 34:4; Jer 4:23, 28; Ezek 32:7-8; Joel 2:10, 30-31; cp. Rev 6:13-14; 8:10; 9:1; 12:1, 3; 15:1).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
