OET (OET-LV) And gave_help the earth to_the women, and opened_up the earth the mouth of_it, and swallowed_up the river, which throw the dragon out_of the mouth of_him.

OET (OET-RV) but the ground helped the woman by opening up a big hole, and so the flood that the dinosaur poured out from his mouth disappeared into it.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–17: The woman fled from the dragon

In this section, John saw several signs or symbols representing spiritual reality. The first sign was a woman, representing the people of God. The second sign was a dragon, representing Satan. The woman was about to give birth, and the dragon wanted to kill the child. The child is symbolic of Jesus as the Christ. God took the son to heaven and protected the woman.

In 12:7–12, John interrupted the story of the woman and the dragon to tell about the war between the dragon and the angels. These verses help explain why the dragon wanted to kill the woman. In 12:13, John continued the story of the woman and the dragon.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The sign of the dragon chasing the woman

The vision of the woman and the dragon

The spiritual conflict of God’s people and Satan

12:16a

But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth

12:16b

to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth.

12:16a–b

But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river: The earth is referred to as if it were a person. The earth is pictured as helping the woman. It is also pictured as having a mouth that could swallow.

In some languages the meaning of a literal translation would not be clear. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐβοήθησεν ἡ γῆ τῇ γυναικί

gave_help the earth ˱to˲_the women

John is speaking of the earth as if it were a living thing that helped this woman. This may be something that readers could understand literally within the world of this vision. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning differently. Alternate translation: [something happened on the earth that helped the woman]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἤνοιξεν ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς

opened_up the earth (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐβοήθησεν ἡ γῆ τῇ γυναικί καί ἤνοιξεν ἡ γῆ τό στόμα αὐτῆς καί κατέπιεν τόν ποταμόν ὅν ἔβαλεν ὁ δράκων ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ)

John is speaking as if the earth literally had a mouth and swallowed this river. He means that some kind of chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:1-17 Satan (pictured as a dragon) plots to challenge God’s purposes but is thwarted. Having failed in direct confrontation with God and Christ, he attempts to attack God’s people. Three brief scenes present an overview of the story (12:1-6), followed by elaborations of the war in heaven (12:7-9) and the war on earth (12:13-17).

OET (OET-LV) And gave_help the earth to_the women, and opened_up the earth the mouth of_it, and swallowed_up the river, which throw the dragon out_of the mouth of_him.

OET (OET-RV) but the ground helped the woman by opening up a big hole, and so the flood that the dinosaur poured out from his mouth disappeared into it.

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

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
