OET (OET-LV) And they_heard a_voice great out_of the heaven, saying to_them:
Go_up here.
And they_went_up to the sky in the cloud, and observed them the enemies of_them.
OET (OET-RV) Then the two witnesses will hear a loud voice from the sky telling them, “Come up here.” Then they’ll go up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watch them go up.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἤκουσαν & αὐτοῖς & ἀνέβησαν & αὐτοὺς & αὐτῶν
˱they˲_heard & ˱to˲_them & ˱they˲_went_up & them & ˱of˲_them
The pronouns they, their and them all refer to the witnesses, not to the people who were seeing them alive again. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the witnesses heard … to them … the witnesses went up … their … them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
ἀνάβατε ὧδε
go_up here
Since the voice is speaking to two people, the implied “you” in the imperative Come up would be dual if your language uses that form. Otherwise, it would be plural.
11:12 they rose to heaven in a cloud: The event is reminiscent of the ascent of Jesus (see Acts 1:9) and others (see 2 Kgs 2:11-12; 1 Thes 4:17).

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.
