Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς, πέπτωκαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
of the wine ˱of˲_the rage ˱of˲_the sexual_immorality ˱of˲_her /have/_drunk all the nations
See how you translated the similar expression in 17:2. Here, as there, this statement is not intended literally even within the world of this vision. Alternate translation: “all the nations have indulged in idolatry and greed with her”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
all the nations
The angel says 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: “nations throughout the world”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς μετ’ αὐτῆς ἐπόρνευσαν
the kings ˱of˲_the earth with her committed_sexual_immorality
See how you translated the similar expression in 17:2. This statement too is not intended literally. Alternate translation: Alternate translation: “the kings of the earth have joined her in being idolatrous and greedy”
18:3 extravagant luxury: Rome plundered conquered nations of their wealth before God’s justice fell on her.
OET (OET-LV) Because of the wine of_the rage of_the sexual_immorality of_her, have_drunk all the nations, and the kings of_the earth with her committed_sexual_immorality, and the merchants of_the earth by the power of_the sensuality of_her became_rich.
OET (OET-RV) All the nations have participated in her immoral passions, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become wealthy from the power of her luxury.”
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.
