OET (OET-LV) And in her the_blood of_prophets and of_holy ones was_found, and of_all the ones having_been_slain on the earth.

OET (OET-RV) The blood of the prophets and the believers and all the others who’ve been murdered can be found in that 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

18:24a–b

And: This Greek conjunction probably indicates that 18:24a–b continues telling more reasons why Babylon was destroyed. For example:

For (JPB)

there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth: There are two ways to interpret who spoke these words:

  1. The angel who began speaking in 18:21 continues speaking here. The ending quote mark occurs at the end of 18:24. (RSV, NIV, NJB, NASB, NABRE, NLT, GW, CEV, NET, NCV, ESV)

  2. The angel stopped speaking at 18:23 and John wrote his own thoughts here. The ending quote mark occurs at the end of 18:23. (BSB, GNT, REB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).Aune (page 965) supports interpretation (1). And Beale (page 923) says, “The second hoti of v 23 does double duty and thus also introduces v 24.”

18:24a

And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints,

there was found in her the blood: In the Greek, the phrase in her is emphasized by being first in the clause. If possible, emphasize this phrase.

In some English versions, the verb phrase there was found occurs before the subject (blood). This is an English poetic style that also emphasizes the verb phrase. In the Greek, the verb is not emphasized. Other ways to translate this clause are:

The blood of prophets, God’s people, and everyone who had been murdered on earth was found in it (GW)

In your streets flowed the blood… (NLT)

This clause indicates that the city was responsible for killing prophets, saints, and all others who were killed. For example:

You are guilty of the death… (NCV)

This clause is passive. Some ways to translate it are:

in her: The Greek uses the pronoun her to refer to Babylon. In 18:23a–d the angel used the second person pronoun “you.” In some languages it is more natural to continue using the second person. For example:

In you

Or you may have continued to use the pronoun “she” in 18:23a–d, based on how you translated 18:21c–d. If that is true, continue using “she/her” here. Also see note on 18:21c–24b.

of prophets and saints: The prophets are saints who have the gift of prophecy. For example:

prophets and other saints

prophets: A prophet is a person to whom God gives a message. The message may include a vision, as in Ezekiel 1 and Daniel 8. The message, called a prophecy, may reveal something about past events, current events, or future events. The prophet speaks God’s message to the people or writes it down for their use. See how you translated this word in 18:20.

saints: The Greek word that the BSB translates as saints means “holy ones.” It refers to all believers. See how you translated this word in 18:20.

18:24b

and of all who had been slain on the earth.

all who had been slain on the earth: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

all whom others have slain on the earth

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εὑρέθη

˓was˒_found

Here the expression was found means “could be found” or “was there.” Alternate translation: [was]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη

in her ˓the˒_blood ˱of˲_prophets (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καί ἁγίων εὑρέθη καί πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπί τῆς γῆς)

The implication is that this blood is evidence that Babylon is guilty of killing the prophets and saints. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [she was clearly guilty of killing prophets and saints]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

˱of˲_all the_‹ones› ˓having_been˒_slain (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καί ἁγίων εὑρέθη καί πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπί τῆς γῆς)

This could mean: (1) that the angel is saying all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [of ones having been slain throughout the earth] (2) that the angel is using a passive verbal form (See: next note) to refer to all the other ones, besides prophets and saints, whom Babylon slew. Alternate translation: [of all the other ones she slew on the earth]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων

˱of˲_all the_‹ones› ˓having_been˒_slain

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: [of all the ones she slew]

OET (OET-RV) The blood of the prophets and the believers and all the others who’ve been murdered can be found in that 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.
