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

17:17a

For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose

For: This conjunction indicates that 17:17 is the reason for the attack and destruction of the woman in 17:16. For example:

because

God has put it into their hearts: Here the heart is where desires, purposes, and intentions are. Use a word that is normally used in your language for that meaning. It might be a different organ such as “liver,” or it might be a general word such as “insides.” For example:

God has influenced their minds (NJB)

to carry out His purpose: This phrase indicates that the ten kings will do what God planned for them to do. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

to do what he intends (NJB)

do what he wants them to do (GW)

17:17b

by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast,

by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast: This phrase indicates how they followed God’s plan: they submitted to the beast.

uniting to give their kingdom to the beast: The Greek words are literally “act with one mind and give their kingdom to the beast.” The kings decided together that they would give their authority to rule to the beast. Other ways to translate these words are:

being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast (RSV)

will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast (NLT)

give their kingdom to the beast: See how you translated a similar phrase (“yield their power…to the beast”) in 17:13.

17:17c

until the words of God are fulfilled.

the words of God are fulfilled: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. All that the beast and the ten kings did caused the words of God to be fulfilled. For example:

their deeds/actions fulfilled God’s words

the words of God: This phrase refers to whatever God had previously told people concerning this time. It would include prophecies in the Old and New Testaments.

are fulfilled: The Greek word that the BSB translates as are fulfilled means “came true” or “happened.” For example:

comes true (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ & Θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν

¬the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Γάρ Θεός ἔδωκεν εἰς τάς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τήν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καί ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καί δοῦναι τήν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Here the heart represents the desires. Alternate translation: [God has put into their desires]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ & Θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν

¬the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Γάρ Θεός ἔδωκεν εἰς τάς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τήν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καί ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καί δοῦναι τήν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ)

The angel is speaking as if God has literally put something into the hearts of these kings. He means that God has led them to want to do something. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God has led them to have the desire]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ποιῆσαι τὴν γνώμην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην, καὶ

˓to˒_do ˓to˒_do (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Γάρ Θεός ἔδωκεν εἰς τάς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τήν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καί ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καί δοῦναι τήν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two shorter phrases connected with and. The phrase to do one purpose tells how the kings will do his purpose, that is, God’s purpose. 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: [to do God’s purpose by agreeing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην

˓to˒_do ˓to˒_do one opinion

This expression means to be in complete agreement. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to be in complete agreement]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Γάρ Θεός ἔδωκεν εἰς τάς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τήν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καί ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καί δοῦναι τήν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of a kingdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [their authority to rule as kings]

Note 6 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Γάρ Θεός ἔδωκεν εἰς τάς καρδίας αὐτῶν ποιῆσαι τήν γνώμην αὐτοῦ καί ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην καί δοῦναι τήν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Since the angel is referring to things that belong to several people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of kingdom. Alternate translation: [their kingdoms]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ

until ˓will_be_being˒_accomplished the words ¬the ˱of˲_God

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: [until God has fulfilled his words]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Θεοῦ

until ˓will_be_being˒_accomplished the words ¬the ˱of˲_God

The angel is using the term words to mean things that God has spoken by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [until God has fulfilled what he has spoken]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:17 John provides another reminder that God is in control; God puts a plan into the minds of the enemy that will fulfill the Lord’s divine purposes (e.g., Exod 7:3; 35:31-35; Ezra 7:27; Rom 9:18, 21).

OET (OET-LV) For/Because the god gave into the hearts of_them to_do the opinion of_him, and to_do one opinion, and to_give the kingdom of_them to_the wild_animal, until will_be_being_accomplished the messages of_ the _god.

OET (OET-RV) because God has put it into their hearts to do his purpose and to do one purpose and to give their kingdom to the wild animal until God’s words turn into reality.

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.
