OET (OET-LV) And it_is_deceiving which dwelling on the earth, because_of the signs that it_was_given to_it to_perform before the wild_animal, telling to_the ones dwelling on the earth, to_make an_image to_the wild_animal, who is_having the wound of_the sword, and lived.
OET (OET-RV) The dinosaur gave the land animal the power to do these miracles on behalf of the sea creature. The land animal used the miracles to deceive the people who live on the earth, telling them to make an idol that looked like the sea creature that had survived a sword wound that seemed to kill it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι
the signs that ˱it˲_/was/_given ˱to˲_it /to/_perform
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 the dragon. Alternate translation: “the signs that the dragon has granted it to do”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐνώπιον τοῦ θηρίου
before the wild_beast
Here the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. Alternate translation: “in the presence of the beast”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ θηρίῳ
˱to˲_the wild_beast
While John says in the next verse that this was an image “of the beast,” that is, an image that looked like the beast, here the expression to the beast means “in honor of the beast.” You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in honor of the beast”
13:11-18 another beast: This second beast, the third member of the evil trinity (see study note on 12:18–13:18), is later called the “false prophet” (16:13). As a high priest of false religion, he leads the world into worshiping the first beast and the dragon (see also 16:13-14).

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.
