Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκαυματίσθησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι καῦμα μέγα
/were/_scorched the people ˱with˲_burning great
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: “the sun scorched men greatly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐβλασφήμησαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱they˲_slandered the name ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, name represents the character and reputation of person by association with the way that each person has a name. Alternate translation: “they maligned the character of the God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οὐ μετενόησαν δοῦναι αὐτῷ δόξαν
not ˱they˲_repented /to/_give ˱to˲_him glory
In the Bible, a person giving God glory often means that person acknowledging that he has sinned and that God is justly punishing him. Alternate translation: “they did not repent of their sin and acknowledge that God was punishing them for it justly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
δοῦναι αὐτῷ δόξαν
/to/_give ˱to˲_him glory
If you wish to retain the biblical idiom in your translation but your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and glorify him”
16:1-21 These seven bowls filled with God’s wrath represent the final judgments on the world; with the seventh bowl, “It is finished!” is shouted from God’s throne (16:17; cp. John 19:30).
OET (OET-LV) And were_scorched the people with_burning great, and they_slandered the name the of_god, the one having the authority over the plagues these, and not they_repented to_give to_him glory.
OET (OET-RV) So people were scorched with incredible heat and they swore at the God who has authority over those plagues, but they did not turn from their disobedience and honour him.
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.
