OET (OET-LV) And became lightnings, and and voices, and thunders, an_earthquake became great, such_as not became, from of_which mankind became on the earth, the_so_great earthquake was thus great.

OET (OET-RV) Then there was lightning and thunder and other sounds, and a terrible earthquake, such as had not happened since people had been on the earth. Such a powerful earthquake, so massive!

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–21: The angels poured the seven bowls

In this section, each of the seven angels in turn poured God’s wrath from his bowl. Each angel caused a different plague to happen on the earth. The people of the earth suffered greatly from the plagues, but they refused to repent.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The seven angels poured God’s wrath from seven bowls

The seven bowls of God’s anger

16:18a

And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder,

16:18b

and a great earthquake

16:18a–b

And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and a great earthquake: The Greek clause is literally “lightning, noises, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake occurred.” Here the word “noises” probably refers to the sound of distant thunder. The NLT translates this as:

the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck…

See how you translated this in 11:19.

great earthquake: This word refers to when the ground shakes strongly.

16:18c

the likes of which had not occurred since men were upon the earth—

16:18d

so mighty was the great quake.

16:18c–d

the likes of which had not occurred since men were upon the earth—so mighty was the great quake: These words compare this earthquake to all other earthquakes. It says that this earthquake was the worst one. Other ways to translate these words are:

such as had not occurred since people were upon the earth, so violent was that earthquake (NRSV)

the worst since people were placed on the earth (NLT)

There has never been such a powerful earthquake since humans have been on earth (GW)

men: The Greek word that the BSB translates as men refers to people in general. For example:

mankind (JBP)

mighty: This word means “big” or “great.” The earthquake caused the earth to shake a lot.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

φωναὶ, καὶ βρονταί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐγένοντο ἀστραπαί καί φωναί καί βρονταί καί σεισμός ἐγένετο μέγας οἷος οὐκ ἐγένετο ἀφʼ οὗ ἄνθρωπος ἐγένοντο ἐπί τῆς γῆς τηλικοῦτος σεισμός οὕτω μέγας)

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word sounds describes what the thunder produced. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [crashes of thunder]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος

mankind

Although the term man is masculine, John is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a term in your language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [humanity]

OET (OET-LV) And became lightnings, and and voices, and thunders, an_earthquake became great, such_as not became, from of_which mankind became on the earth, the_so_great earthquake was thus great.

OET (OET-RV) Then there was lightning and thunder and other sounds, and a terrible earthquake, such as had not happened since people had been on the earth. Such a powerful earthquake, so massive!

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.
