OET (OET-LV) and they_prostrated before_the dragon, because he_gave his authority to_the wild_animal, and they_prostrated before_the wild_animal saying:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ, καὶ τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετ’ αὐτοῦ?
who_‹is› similar ˱to˲_the wild_beast and who /is/_able /to/_war with it
The people of the earth are using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one is like the beast, and no one is able to war with it!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ, καὶ τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετ’ αὐτοῦ?
who_‹is› similar ˱to˲_the wild_beast and who /is/_able /to/_war with it
These two phrases mean similar things. The people are using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “Who is strong enough to war with the beast?” or “No one is strong enough to war with the beast!”
13:1-10 The first beast is the second member of the evil trinity (see study note on 12:18–13:18) and should probably be identified with Roman power (see “Four World Empires” Theme Note).

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.
