OET (OET-LV) And I_saw another sign in the heaven, great and marvellous, seven messengers having seven plagues the last, because in them was_finished the rage of_ the _god.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw another miraculous sign in heaven: seven messengers with the seven final plagues, because the expression of God’s anger will finish with these.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–8: Seven angels held seven plagues and victorious believers sang

In this section, John saw another sign in heaven. The sign was seven angels ready to cause seven plagues. He also saw a group of believers who had not submitted to Satan. They sang a song of praise to God and Jesus. Then he saw the seven angels prepare to inflict the plagues on those who refused to submit to God.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

John saw seven angels empowered to cause seven plagues and a group of believers in heaven

The believers who were victorious over the beast sang praise

15:1a

Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven:

Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: The Greek clause is literally “I saw another sign in heaven great and marvelous.” The phrase great and marvelous describes the sign. It occurs last in the clause to emphasize the fact that John thought that the sign was great and marvelous. For example:

I saw in heaven another sign, indeed a great and marvelous one:

great: Here the word great refers to the intensity or importance of the sign. The word here does not refer to the size of the sign. Other ways to translate this word are:

spectacular

important

marvelous: This word refers to something that causes wonder, awe, or amazement. Other ways to translate this word are:

wonderful (RSV)

amazing (GNT)

sign: The word sign refers to something that has a symbolic meaning. It suggests or points to something other than itself. Other ways to translate this word are:

mysterious sight (GNT)

portent (RSV)

See how you translated this word in 12:1 or 13:13.

heaven: The word heaven refers here to the place where God lives.

15:1b

seven angels with the seven final plagues,

15:1c

with which the wrath of God is completed.

15:1b–c

The sign (15:1a) is described here. The BSB indicates this with a colon (:) at the end of 15:1a. The RSV uses a comma (,) and allows the context to imply the connection in English. Other ways to translate this connection are:

There were… (GNT)

which was…

namely,…

seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God is completed: The words after the long dash explain why these plagues were the last plagues. Other ways to translate this are:

seven plagues, which are the last ones, because they are the final expression of God’s anger (GNT)

seven plagues. These plagues are the last ones because when they occur God’s anger is finished

seven plagues. These plagues are the last ones because God’s anger will end after they happen

with: The Greek word that the BSB translates as with is literally “having.” The word “having” indicates that the angels were somehow holding the plagues. They would mix these plagues in the bowls (15:7b). Other ways to translate this word are:

who had (NASB)

bearing

bringing

plagues: This word refers to disasters that harm a lot of people. It can refer to diseases that kill many people. It can refer to locusts that damage many crops. See how you translated this word in 6:8 or 11:6.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

μέγα καὶ θαυμαστόν

great (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μέγα καί θαυμαστόν ἀγγέλους ἑπτά ἔχοντας πληγάς ἑπτά τάς ἐσχάτας ὅτι ἐν αὐταῖς ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμός τοῦ Θεοῦ)

The terms great and marvelous mean similar things. John is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [amazing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἔχοντας πληγὰς ἑπτὰ τὰς ἐσχάτας

having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μέγα καί θαυμαστόν ἀγγέλους ἑπτά ἔχοντας πληγάς ἑπτά τάς ἐσχάτας ὅτι ἐν αὐταῖς ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμός τοῦ Θεοῦ)

John is speaking of these plagues as if they were something that the seven angels had in their possession. He means that God had made these angels responsible for administering the plagues. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who would be responsible for administering seven final plagues]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓was˒_finished the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μέγα καί θαυμαστόν ἀγγέλους ἑπτά ἔχοντας πληγάς ἑπτά τάς ἐσχάτας ὅτι ἐν αὐταῖς ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμός τοῦ Θεοῦ)

John is referring to God’s punishments for sin by association with the wrath that God feels because of sin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the punishments of God were finished]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ

˓was˒_finished the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μέγα καί θαυμαστόν ἀγγέλους ἑπτά ἔχοντας πληγάς ἑπτά τάς ἐσχάτας ὅτι ἐν αὐταῖς ἐτελέσθη ὁ θυμός τοῦ Θεοῦ)

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: [God finished punishing all wrongdoing]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:1 This cycle of seven last plagues (15:1–16:21) brings God’s wrath against his enemies to completion (see 16:17; Amos 1–2; Rom 1:18–2:16). Revelation returns later to the subjects of God’s wrath (Rev 19:15-21).

OET (OET-LV) And I_saw another sign in the heaven, great and marvellous, seven messengers having seven plagues the last, because in them was_finished the rage of_ the _god.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw another miraculous sign in heaven: seven messengers with the seven final plagues, because the expression of God’s anger will finish with these.

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.
