OET (OET-LV) And he_carried_away me into a_wilderness in the_spirit.
And I_saw a_woman sitting on a_wild_animal scarlet, being_full with_names of_slander, having seven heads and ten horns.

OET (OET-RV) Then in the spirit I was carried away to a wilderness and I saw a woman sitting on a wild animal that was scarlet and had anti-God names written all over it. It had seven heads and ten horns.

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

17:3a

And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness,

carried me away in the Spirit: In English Bibles, the titles and names of God normally begin with an uppercase (capital) letter. But ancient Greek writers used only one style of letters. So the Greek word that the BSB translates as Spirit can refer to either the human spirit or God’s Spirit. There are two ways to interpret it:

  1. It indicates that the Holy Spirit took John places during the following experience. For example:

    Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit (RSV) (BSB, RSV, NIV, GNT, NASB, NABRE, NLT, CEV, NET, ESV, NCV)

  2. It indicates that John’s spirit (as opposed to his physical body) experienced the following event. For example:

    He took me in spirit (NJB) (NJB, NRSV, REB, KJV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), because it is probably used in the same way as in 1:10. See how you translated the phrase in the Spirit there. The clause implies that John’s experience in 1:10 continues, but at a new location.

wilderness: The Greek word that the BSB translates as wilderness refers to a place that is empty, desolate, or uninhabited. See how you translated this word in 12:6 or 12:14.

17:3b

where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast

a woman: This woman was referred to as “the great prostitute” in 17:1. In some languages a literal translation would wrongly refer to a different woman. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

sitting: The woman was sitting on the beast’s back or shoulders.

scarlet: This word refers to a bright red color.

beast: The word beast probably refers to the first beast (13:1). See how you translated this word in 13:1 or 16:13.

17:3c

that was covered with blasphemous names

that was covered with blasphemous names: This clause indicates that the body of the beast had many blasphemous names on it. For example:

that had names insulting to God written all over it (GNT)

blasphemous names: The word blasphemous here means “a saying that is against God.” The beast was perhaps using the names and titles that are rightfully God’s alone. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

names that dishonored God

names that belong to God alone

See how you translated the phrase “blasphemous name” in 13:1.

17:3d

and had seven heads and ten horns.

had seven heads and ten horns: You should translate this phrase as you did in 13:1.

horns: This word refers to horns like animal horns. These verses do not say what kind of animal horn it was.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀπήνεγκέν με εἰς ἔρημον ἐν Πνεύματι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀπήνεγκεν μέ εἰς ἐρῆμον ἐν Πνεύματι Καί εἶδον γυναῖκα καθημένην ἐπί θηρίον κόκκινον γέμοντα ὀνόματα βλασφημίας ἔχων κεφαλάς ἑπτά καί κέρατα δέκα)

See how you translated the expression in the Spirit in [1:10](../01/10.md) and [4:2](../04/02.md). Alternate translation: [as he carried me away to a wilderness, the Holy Spirit inspired me so that I could receive further revelation]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

γέμοντα ὀνόματα βλασφημίας

being_full ˱with˲_names ˱of˲_slander

This expression means that blasphemous names were written all over this beast. Your language may have its own way of stating this. Alternate translation: [covered with blasphemous names]

OET (OET-LV) And he_carried_away me into a_wilderness in the_spirit.
And I_saw a_woman sitting on a_wild_animal scarlet, being_full with_names of_slander, having seven heads and ten horns.

OET (OET-RV) Then in the spirit I was carried away to a wilderness and I saw a woman sitting on a wild animal that was scarlet and had anti-God names written all over it. It had seven heads and ten horns.

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.
