OET (OET-LV) And I_saw the heaven having_been_opened_up, and see, a_horse white, and the one sitting on it, Faithful being_called and true, and in righteousness he_is_judging and is_warring.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw heaven open up and wow, a white horse and its rider was named ‘Faithful and true’, and he judges and battles righteously.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:11–21: The rider on a white horse conquered his enemies

In this section, John saw a rider on a white horse. An army followed him. An angel called to the birds to gather. The beast gathered his army, but they lost the battle. Someone captured the beast and the false prophet and threw them into the lake of fire. Birds ate the bodies of the defeated soldiers.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus fought against the beast and false prophet

The one riding a white horse won the battle

19:11a

Then I saw heaven standing open,

heaven standing open: This clause indicates that John could see into heaven, God’s dwelling place. Other ways to translate this clause are:

heaven opened (RSV)

heaven open (NJB)

standing open: The Greek word that the BSB translates as standing open is literally “having been opened.” When John looked, the opening into heaven was already there.

19:11b

and there before me was a white horse.

and there before me was: The Greek words are literally “and look.” The word “look” emphasizes or calls attention to the words that follow. It also probably indicates surprise or suddenness. The word “look” is not a command to look at the horse. Other ways to translate these words are:

indeed/hey,

and look,

and behold,

suddenly/unexpectedly I saw

See how you translated this phrase in 14:1 or 14:14.

horse: A horse is a large, four-legged animal that weighs 500 kilograms (1100 pounds) or more. They are about 1.5 meters (5 feet) high at their back. People ride horses.

In some languages people are not familiar with horses. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

See how you translated this word in 6:2 or 18:13.

19:11c

And its rider is called Faithful and True.

And its rider is called Faithful and True: This clause tells the reader more about the white horse. In some languages a literal translation would wrongly indicate that John was thinking of other white horses and only this one had a rider…called Faithful and True. If that is true in your language, translate this clause so that it tells more about the white horse. One way to do that is to start a new sentence here. For example:

The rider of the horse is called Faithful and True.

is called Faithful and True: The words Faithful and True describe the rider. The verb called indicates that the words Faithful and True are used as names. For example:

is named Faithful and True (GW)

Faithful: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Faithful refers to someone who is worthy of trust. People can depend on that person. Here the word indicates that the rider was completely reliable, dependable, and truthful in all that he says. Other ways to translate this word are:

Dependable

Trustworthy (NJB)

See how you translated this word in 1:5.

True: Here the word True indicates that the rider never tells lies. He is never deceitful.

19:11d

With righteousness He judges and wages war.

With righteousness He judges and wages war: The phrase With righteousness is emphasized in the Greek and the BSB. If possible, emphasize this phrase in your translation.

With righteousness: The Greek word that the BSB translates as righteousness is often translated as “righteousness” (as in the RSV). Here it indicates that the rider judges and makes war with righteous goals and means. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

justly

in uprightness (NJB)

This phrase applies to both “judges” and “makes war.”

judges: The word judges indicates that the rider decides whether or not a person or nation is guilty of wrongdoing.

wages war: This phrase refers to fighting in organized groups. Often one nation wages war against another nation. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

fights a war

battles

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἶδον τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον

˱I˲_saw (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον τόν οὐρανόν ἠνεῳγμένον καί ἰδού ἵππος λευκός καί ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτόν Πιστός καλούμενος καί Ἀληθινός καί ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καί πολεμεῖ)

When John says that heaven had been opened, he likely means by association that in his vision, God created some opening that allowed him to see into heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God allowed me to look into heaven]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον τόν οὐρανόν ἠνεῳγμένον καί ἰδού ἵππος λευκός καί ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτόν Πιστός καλούμενος καί Ἀληθινός καί ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καί πολεμεῖ)

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: [that God had opened heaven]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ’ αὐτὸν, Πιστὸς καλούμενος καὶ Ἀληθινός

the_‹one› sitting on (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον τόν οὐρανόν ἠνεῳγμένον καί ἰδού ἵππος λευκός καί ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτόν Πιστός καλούμενος καί Ἀληθινός καί ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καί πολεμεῖ)

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: [the one whom people call Faithful and True riding on it]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ’ αὐτὸν, Πιστὸς καλούμενος καὶ Ἀληθινός

the_‹one› sitting on (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον τόν οὐρανόν ἠνεῳγμένον καί ἰδού ἵππος λευκός καί ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτόν Πιστός καλούμενος καί Ἀληθινός καί ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καί πολεμεῖ)

This could mean: (1) that Faithful and True are two names by which people call Jesus. Alternate translation: [the one riding on it, two of whose names are Faithful and True]; (2) that “faithful” and “true” are two qualities that people ascribe to Jesus. Alternate translation: [the one riding on it, whom people acknowledge to be faithful and true]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

Πιστὸς & καὶ Ἀληθινός

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον τόν οὐρανόν ἠνεῳγμένον καί ἰδού ἵππος λευκός καί ὁ καθήμενος ἐπʼ αὐτόν Πιστός καλούμενος καί Ἀληθινός καί ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνει καί πολεμεῖ)

The terms Faithful and True mean similar things. John is mentioning the two names together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Supremely Faithful] or [Entirely True]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ

in righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [righteously]

OET (OET-LV) And I_saw the heaven having_been_opened_up, and see, a_horse white, and the one sitting on it, Faithful being_called and true, and in righteousness he_is_judging and is_warring.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw heaven open up and wow, a white horse and its rider was named ‘Faithful and true’, and he judges and battles righteously.

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.
