OET (OET-LV) And the woman whom you_saw is the city the great, which having a_kingdom over the kings of_the earth.

OET (OET-RV) The woman that you saw is the famous city whose leaders rule over the rulers of the earth.”

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

17:18a

And the woman you saw is the great city

And the woman you saw is the great city: The phrase the great city explains the symbolism of the woman.

woman: Here this word refers to the prostitute. In some languages it is more natural or more clear to use that word here. For example:

prostitute

great: Here this word means “important” or “well-known.” See how you translated this word in 11:8.

17:18b

that rules over the kings of the earth.”

rules: The great city rules the kings by its economic influence (17:1), moral influence (17:2), and religious influence (17:3, 17:6).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπὶ

the the city ¬the great ¬which having ˓a˒_kingdom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἡ γυνή ἥν εἶδες ἐστίν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπί τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς)

The angel is referring to the king who rules from the great city by association with that city itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the great city whose king has a kingdom over]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπὶ

the the city ¬the great ¬which having ˓a˒_kingdom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἡ γυνή ἥν εἶδες ἐστίν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν ἐπί τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kingdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the great city that rules over] or [the great city whose king rules over]
