OET (OET-LV) Because in_one hour was_desolated the so_much riches.
And every captain, and every the one to a_place sailing, and sailors, and as_many_as the sea are_working, from afar stood

OET (OET-RV) because so much wealth was destroyed in a single hour.”
¶ Every captain of a ship, and all the passengers and sailors and others who work on the ocean will keep far away from the city

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:1–24: Announcements/Messages about Babylon

In this section, three heavenly beings each announce something about Babylon. The first announcement is that the city is destroyed. Her riches and prosperity have been taken away.

The second announcement is that God’s people should leave Babylon before God destroys her. It also describes how kings and others mourn over the destroyed city.

The third announcement is that Babylon will never be built again.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

An angel announced that Babylon was destroyed, and some groups are sad

Announcements about the destruction of Babylon

Various people talk about Babylon

18:17a

For in a single hour such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!”

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For is often translated as “because.” This conjunction introduces the reason for the saying of woe in 18:16.

in a single hour: Here the phrase a single hour refers to a short time, not necessarily a literal hour. It implies suddenness. Translate this phrase as you did in 18:10.

such fabulous wealth has been destroyed!: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

she has lost all this wealth (GNT)

all the wealth of the city is gone (NLT)

Your translation should indicate or imply that the wealth was destroyed. If possible, emphasize or keep the focus on the phrase such fabulous wealth.

such fabulous wealth: The word such emphasizes the large amount of the wealth. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

all this wealth (RSV)

So much wealth (REB)

has been destroyed: This phrase usually refers to a city or town that is destroyed and left with no people in it. Here the phrase refers to the wealth becoming valueless. All of Babylon’s beautiful things were ruined and destroyed, so they were useless. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

has been brought to ruin (NIV)

has been laid waste (RSV)

completely ruined

18:17b

Every shipmaster, passenger, and sailor,

shipmaster: This phrase refers to the person who controls a ship. He is the leader over the people on it.

passenger: This phrase refers to people who pay for a ship to take them somewhere. For example:

all who travel by ship (NIV)

sailor: This word refers to people who have jobs on ships while the ships are sailing on the ocean.

18:17c

and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance

all who make their living from the sea: The Greek phrase is literally “all who work the sea.” It refers to those whose jobs involve the sea. It includes fishermen and traders who send goods by ship. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

as many as make their living by the sea (NASB)

all those people whose jobs involve the sea

The captains and sailors are already mentioned in 18:17b. So this phrase refers to all of the other people who also make their living on the sea. For example, the GNT says:

all others who earn their living on the sea

sea: The word sea refers to a large body of water. A sea is often so large that someone standing on one side cannot see the other side. Here the word sea refers to seas and oceans in general. See how you translated this word in 5:13 or 13:1.

will stand at a distance: This phrase probably implies that these seafaring people stood far away because they were afraid of what was happening to Babylon (as in 18:10a). For example:

kept a safe distance (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος

˓was˒_desolated ¬the so_much riches

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 destroyed so much wealth]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

κυβερνήτης

captain

The word shipmaster refers to a particular member of a ship’s crew. In this context, this could mean: (1) the captain of a ship. Alternate translation, as in UST: [ship captain] (2) the person who steers a ship. Alternate translation: [navigator]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται

as_many_as (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος Καί πᾶς κυβερνήτης καί πᾶς ὁ ἐπί τόπον πλέων καί ναῦται καί ὅσοι τήν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται ἀπό μακρόθεν ἔστησαν)

John is using this general expression to mean anyone else who, like the previous three kinds of people he mentions in this verse, earns a living from the sea in some way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as many others as earn their living from the sea]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:1-24 This chapter contains seven poetic responses to the fall of Babylon (or Rome; see study note on 17:5).

OET (OET-LV) Because in_one hour was_desolated the so_much riches.
And every captain, and every the one to a_place sailing, and sailors, and as_many_as the sea are_working, from afar stood

OET (OET-RV) because so much wealth was destroyed in a single hour.”
¶ Every captain of a ship, and all the passengers and sailors and others who work on the ocean will keep far away from the city

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.
