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 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνήν
/having_been/_desolated ˱they˲_/will_be/_making her and naked
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
the fleshes ˱of˲_her ˱they˲_/will_be/_eating
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
her her ˱they˲_/will_be/_burning_up (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες καὶ τὸ θηρίον οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τὴν πόρνην καὶ ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ γυμνήν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται καὶ αὐτὴν 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]
17:15-16 While the prostitute rules over the masses, it does not bring her victory. Instead, the beast hates and kills the great prostitute. Satan strikes even those he uses for his evil purposes.

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.
