Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
χάλαζα μεγάλη, ὡς ταλαντιαία
/a/_hail great about /a/_talent_weight
John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “great hail, in hailstones weighing about a talent each”
Note 2 topic: translate-bweight
ὡς ταλαντιαία
about /a/_talent_weight
A talent was a weight of about 33 kilograms or about 70 pounds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could give the equivalent in modern measurements. Alternate translation: “in hailstones weighing about 33 kilograms each” or “in hailstones weighing about 70 pounds each”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τοὺς ἀνθρώπους & οἱ ἄνθρωποι
the people & the people
Although the term men 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: “people”
16:21 Despite the severity of these plagues, the people of the world again cursed God rather than recognizing his reason for the judgments (see 9:20; 16:9, 11).
• The terrible hailstorm is a reminder of the seventh plague on Egypt (Exod 9:23-24).

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.
