OET (OET-RV) But because of their desires, the truth is hidden from them that the universe came into being long ago by God’s spoken command and the earth was formed out of water and through water
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
λανθάνει γὰρ αὐτοὺς τοῦτο, θέλοντας
/is/_escaping_notice for them this willing
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “For they willingly hide this from themselves”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
θέλοντας ὅτι οὐρανοὶ ἦσαν ἔκπαλαι
willing that /the/_heavens were anciently
Peter is leaving out some of the words that this clause would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from the end of the verse. Alternate translation: “that the heavens existed long ago by the word of God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γῆ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγῳ
/the/_earth out_of water and through water /having/_consisted ˱by˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God word
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “the word of God formed the earth out of water and through water”
ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα
out_of water and through water /having/_consisted
This clause refers to God causing the land to come up out of and through the water, gathering the bodies of water together to make the land appear.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγῳ
˱by˲_the ¬the ˱of˲_God word
Here, the word of God refers to the God’s specific commands by which the earth was created. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “by the commands of God”
3:5 Creation is the first evidence that the false teachers were wrong: Change does happen. If God made the world, he certainly can destroy it.
• brought the earth out from the water: See Gen 1:2, 6-10.

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.
