OET (OET-LV) And the ten horns that you_saw and the wild_animal, these will_be_hating the prostitute, and having_been_desolated they_will_be_making her and naked, and the fleshes of_her they_will_be_eating, and her they_will_be_burning_up with with_fire.

OET (OET-RV) The ten horns that you saw and the wild animal, they’ll hate the prostitute and will make her desolated and naked and they’ll eat her flesh and will burn her completely with fire,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:1–18: John saw the woman Babylon and the beast

In this section, John saw a woman sitting on a red beast. The woman had the symbolic name “Babylon.” An angel referred to her as a prostitute. The red beast had seven heads and ten horns. The beast worked together with her, but later he destroyed her.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The great/famous prostitute with the symbolic name Babylon was destroyed

The red beast turned against the woman Babylon and destroyed her

17:16a

And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute.

And the ten horns and the beast that you saw: There is a textual issue in 17:16a: (1) Early Greek manuscripts have the text the ten horns you saw and the beast (BSB, RSV, NIV, GNT, NJB, NASB, NLT, GW, CEV, NET, NABRE, REB, ESV, NCV). (2) A few late Greek manuscripts have the text the ten horns you saw upon the beast (KJV only). It is recommended that you follow option (1), because the UBS Greek NT supports it. The Greek phrase is literally “the ten horns that you saw and the beast.” John had already seen the beast. This phrase emphasizes the fact that John had already seen the ten horns. For example:

the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast (RSV)

the ten horns: This phrase refers figuratively here to the ten kings. In some languages a literal translation would wrongly refer only to the beast’s ten horns, not the ten kings. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

hate: This word means “feel strong dislike toward someone and detest him.”

17:16b

They will leave her desolate and naked,

They will leave her desolate and naked: The Greek clause is literally “they will make her desolate and naked” (as in the RSV). They will take Babylon’s possessions and her clothes. But it also describes her in a figurative way as being alone and shamed. Other ways to translate this clause are:

They will take all her possessions and clothes from her

They will strip her naked and leave her destitute (REB)

They will take everything she has and leave her naked (NCV)

They will leave her desolate: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as leave her desolate refers here to being left with nothing. For example:

they will take away everything she has (GNT)

17:16c

and will eat her flesh

and will eat her flesh: This clause refers to the way a fierce animal attacks a person and devours the dead body. For example:

They will eat her body (NCV)

This clause refers figuratively to the beast and the ten kings fiercely attacking Babylon and destroying her.

flesh: This word refers to the skin and muscles. But it can also include all the parts of the body that animals can eat.

17:16d

and burn her with fire.

burn her with fire: They burned the parts of the body that they did not eat.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνήν

˓having_been˒_desolated ˱they˲_˓will_be˒_making (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τά δέκα κέρατα ἅ εἶδες καί τό θηρίον οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τήν πόρνην καί ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτήν καί γυμνήν καί τάς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται καί αὐτήν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί)

The terms desolated and naked 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: [they will take away everything she has]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠρημωμένην

˓having_been˒_desolated

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: [desolate]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τά δέκα κέρατα ἅ εἶδες καί τό θηρίον οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τήν πόρνην καί ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτήν καί γυμνήν καί τάς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται καί αὐτήν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί)

The angel is speaking as if these horns (that is, these kings) and the beast will literally consume the flesh of the prostitute. But even within the world of this vision, that is not literally true. This is a common biblical image for destroying someone. If it would be clearer in your language, and especially if it would be helpful to your readers to know that cannibalism has no part in God’s judgments against evil, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they will destroy her]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

αὐτὴν κατακαύσουσιν πυρί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τά δέκα κέρατα ἅ εἶδες καί τό θηρίον οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τήν πόρνην καί ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτήν καί γυμνήν καί τάς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται καί αὐτήν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί)

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [they will burn her up completely]

OET (OET-RV) The ten horns that you saw and the wild animal, they’ll hate the prostitute and will make her desolated and naked and they’ll eat her flesh and will burn her completely with fire,

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.
