OET (OET-LV) and in womb having child, and she_is_crying_out labouring_in_birth, and being_tormented to_bear.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα
in womb having_‹child›
This expression means that the woman had a child in her womb, that is, she was pregnant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “being pregnant”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
κράζει
˱she˲_/is/_crying_out
To call attention to a development in the story, here John uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “she cried out”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὠδίνουσα, καὶ βασανιζομένη τεκεῖν
laboring_in_birth and /being/_tormented /to/_bear
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. Alternate translation: “suffering birth pains that tormented her as she gave birth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ὠδίνουσα, καὶ βασανιζομένη
laboring_in_birth and /being/_tormented
These two phrases mean similar things. John is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “suffering terrible birth pains”
12:2 The symbolic woman going through the agony of labor portrays Christ’s birth, reflecting the biblical theme of Israel’s trauma while waiting to be delivered (see Isa 26:16-18; Jer 4:31; Mic 4:9-10; John 16:21).

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.
