OET (OET-LV) Here is the mind which having seven:
wisdom the seven heads mountains are, where the woman is_sitting on them.
And seven kings are:

OET (OET-RV) Here’s the mind understanding wisdom: The seven heads are seven hills that the woman is sitting on, and they’re seven rulers.

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

17:9a

This calls for a mind with wisdom.

This calls for a mind with wisdom: The Greek clause is literally “Here is the mind which has wisdom” (as in the NASB and KJV). It urges readers to be wise regarding the symbolic meanings of the woman and the beast. The angel explained some of the symbolic meanings in 17:9–18. The reader will need wisdom to understand what the angel explained. Other ways to translate this clause are:

A mind with wisdom is needed here.

This takes/requires a mind having wisdom.

In this situation a wise mind is needed. (GW)

wisdom: The word wisdom means “the ability to understand events and know what should be done.” See how you translated this word in 5:12 or 13:18.

17:9b

The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits: The phrase seven mountains on which the woman sits explains the symbolic meaning of the seven heads. But the phrase seven mountains on which the woman sits is also symbolic itself. The city of Rome is located on seven hills. But Rome might be symbolic of a powerful country or empire. It might be symbolic of the human government controlled by the beast. You should translate the literal meaning of this phrase.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν αἱ ἑπτά κεφαλαί ἑπτά ὄρη εἰσίν ὅπου ἡ γυνή κάθηται ἐπʼ αὐτῶν Καί βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσίν)

The expression Here is introduces something that the speaker is calling for. Alternate translation: [This calls for a mind that has wisdom]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν αἱ ἑπτά κεφαλαί ἑπτά ὄρη εἰσίν ὅπου ἡ γυνή κάθηται ἐπʼ αὐτῶν Καί βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσίν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [This calls for a wise mind]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ὅπου ἡ γυνὴ κάθηται ἐπ’ αὐτῶν

where the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν αἱ ἑπτά κεφαλαί ἑπτά ὄρη εἰσίν ὅπου ἡ γυνή κάθηται ἐπʼ αὐτῶν Καί βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσίν)

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [where the woman is sitting]
