Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά
/having_been/_sealed_up ˱with˲_seals seven
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “God had sealed the scroll with seven seals”
5:1 The scroll, like a dramatic script, details God’s plan for the world (Ps 139:16).
• The right hand represents God’s gracious authority and power (see Rev 1:17, 20).
• The writing on the inside and the outside means that God’s plans for history are full and complete.
• sealed with seven seals: God has put his purposes for history in an impermeable safe (Isa 29:11-12; Dan 8:26). His purposes will be completed only when the seals are broken (see Rev 5:4).

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.
