OET (OET-LV) and on the forehead of_her was a_name having_been_written:
Mystery Babulōn/(Bāⱱel?
) the great, the mother of_the prostitutes, and of_the abominations of_the earth.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῆς & γεγραμμένον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἐπί τό μέτωπον αὐτῆς ὄνομα γεγραμμένον Μυστήριον Βαβυλών ἡ Μεγάλη ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καί τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς)

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: [someone had written on her forehead]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ὄνομα & Μυστήριον

˓a˒_name & Mystery

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words together. The word mystery tells what kind of name was written on the woman’s forehead. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [a mysterious name] or [a name that had a symbolic meaning]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

ὄνομα & Μυστήριον

˓a˒_name & Mystery

Some interpreters consider the word mystery to be part of the name of this woman. Alternate translation: [a name: Mystery,]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:5 Using code language, John was probably referring to Rome (see 17:9) as Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes. Babylon was a symbol of the idolatries and demonic obscenities of the world. As Mother, she had produced offspring who copied her character. Rome, like Babylon, prostituted herself to false gods and led other nations into adultery and idolatry.

OET (OET-RV) and a name was written on her forehead. The name was a mystery: ‘Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and the Abominations of the Earth.’

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.
