OET (OET-LV) The wild_animal that you_saw was, and not is, and is_going to_be_going_up out_of the abyss, and into destruction to_be_going.
And will_be_marvelling the ones dwelling on the earth, whose not has_been_written the names in the scroll of_ the _life from the_foundation of_the_earth, seeing the wild_animal, that it_was and not is and_yet will_be_being_present.
OET (OET-RV) The wild animal that you saw used to be here and isn’t anymore but is about to come up from the abyss. Then it’s going to destruction, and the ones living on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will wonder, seeing the beast that used to be here and isn’t anymore but will come back.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει
into destruction (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τὸ θηρίον ὃ εἶδες ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ μέλλει ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς Ἀβύσσου καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγειν καὶ θαυμάσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὧν οὐ γέγραπται τὰ ὀνόματα ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου βλεπόντων τὸ θηρίον ὅτι ἦν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ παρέσται)
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of destruction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “is going to be destroyed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐ γέγραπται
not /has_been/_written
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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: “God has not written”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου
from /the/_foundation ˱of˲_/the/_earth
See how you translated this expression in 13:8. Alternate translation: “since God founded the world”
17:8 The beast . . . was once alive but isn’t now . . . will soon come up: When Domitian became emperor (AD 81–96), he was as evil as Nero (both were fierce persecutors of the church), and many thought he was the embodiment of Nero’s spirit, if not Nero himself (perhaps similar to the way that John the Baptist was considered to embody Elijah’s spirit; see Mal 4:5; Matt 11:14; Luke 1:17; John 1:21).
• you saw: The past tense indicates that the angel’s interpretation took place after John’s vision.
• was once alive but isn’t now: This contrasts with God, “who is, who always was, and who is still to come” (Rev 1:4, 8).
• the bottomless pit: See study note on 9:1-12.
• In contrast to God’s people, the people of this world are not written in the Book of Life (see 20:11-15). They will be amazed by the apparent resurrection of the beast (see study note on 17:10-11; see also 13:13-17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
