OET (OET-LV) And it_opened_up the mouth of_it to slander against the god, to_slander the name of_him, and the tent of_him, the ones in the heaven sheltering.

OET (OET-RV) So it started speaking out anti-God statements, as well as speaking out against God’s name and his home and those who live in heaven.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–10: The first beast rose from the sea

In this section, John saw a beast rise from the sea and described him. The dragon gave authority to this beast. The beast slandered God. The beast killed believers. Non-believers worshiped him.

If you followed option (2) for the textual issue at 12:17d, you should have this section heading before 12:17d.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The beast from the sea

The beast that blasphemed God

13:6a

And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God

13:6a–b

the beast opened its mouth: This is an idiom that means “he began to talk.” In some languages a literal translation would not have that meaning. If that is true in your language, translate the meaning of the idiom. For example:

It/He began

A similar idiom occurs in Matthew 5:2, where the BSB translates it as “he began to.” If you have translated that verse, see how you translated the idiom there.

to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle: The Greek is literally “in blasphemies against God to blaspheme his name and his tent.” There are two ways to interpret the connection between “in blasphemies against God” and “to blaspheme his name and his tent”:

  1. The phrase “to slander his name and his tabernacle” describes the meaning of “blasphemies against God” here. That is why the BSB translates these words as they do. Another way to translate these words is:

    to utter blasphemies against God, that is, blaspheming his name and his dwelling (RSV, ESV, NABRE, NLT, NET, REB)

  2. The phrase “to slander his name and his tabernacle” is in addition to “blasphemies against God” here. For example, the NJB says:

    blasphemies against God, against his name, his heavenly Tent (BSB, NIV, GNT, NJB, CEV, NCV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), because it fits the Greek grammar better.The Greek has “to blaspheme” rather than “and blaspheme.” Aune, Mounce, Hughes, and Lenski support interpretation (1).

13:6b

and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.

to slander his name: This phrase refers to saying evil things about who God is and what he stands for.Mounce (page 250). Beale and Osbourne say the use here refers to putting oneself in God’s place, but it is hard to prove that this specific meaning is intended here. Other ways to translate this word are:

lying about who he is

evil things said against his name

See how you translated this word in 2:9, where the BSB translates it as “slander.”

His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven: There is a textual issue here:

  1. The Greek words are his tent, those tent-living in heaven. The last phrase explains “his tent.” For example:

    his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven (RSV) (BSB, RSV, NASB, NLT, GW, NET, REB, ESV)

  2. The Greek words are his tent and those tent-living in heaven. The last phrase is in addition to “his tent.” For example:

    the place where he lives, and all those who live in heaven (GNT) (NIV, GNT, NJB, NABRE, CEV, NCV, KJV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1), because the UBS Greek NT recommends it.Beale and Aune support option (1).

His tabernacle: A more literal translation of this Greek phrase is “his tent.” It figuratively refers to heaven, where God lives. Other ways to translate this are:

his tent (GW)

the place where he lives (GNT)

According to interpretation (2) above, this phrase refers to heaven.

those who dwell in heaven: This phrase refers to the angels, elders, and other beings living in heaven. Translate it in a way that allows for all these beings. For example:

everyone who lives in heaven with God (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἤνοιξε τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤνοιξεν τό στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς βλασφημίας πρός τόν Θεόν βλασφημῆσαι τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καί τήν σκηνήν αὐτοῦ τούς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ σκηνοῦντας)

John is referring to the beast speaking by association with it opened its mouth in order to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it spoke]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤνοιξεν τό στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς βλασφημίας πρός τόν Θεόν βλασφημῆσαι τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καί τήν σκηνήν αὐτοῦ τούς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ σκηνοῦντας)

Here the word name stands for the reputation of a person. Alternate translation: [his reputation]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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).

OET (OET-LV) And it_opened_up the mouth of_it to slander against the god, to_slander the name of_him, and the tent of_him, the ones in the heaven sheltering.

OET (OET-RV) So it started speaking out anti-God statements, as well as speaking out against God’s name and his home and those who live in heaven.

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.
