OET (OET-LV) And I_heard something like the_voice of_a_crowd great, and as the_sound of_waters many, and like a_sound of_thunders mighty saying:
Praise_Yāh, because reigned the_master, the god of_us the almighty.

OET (OET-RV) Then I heard what sounded like a large crowd and what seemed to be the sounds of lots of water and of powerful thunder, saying, “Praise Yah, because our God, the powerful Yahweh, reigns.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:1–10: A huge crowd praised God

In this section, a huge crowd praised God because God had punished Babylon. The twenty-four elders in heaven and the four living creatures around the throne in heaven worshiped God in response.

Then a voice from the throne urged all who follow God to praise him. Another crowd (or possibly the same crowd as in 19:1–3) praised God for gathering believers to Jesus. This gathering was referred to as a wedding. An angel told John a message for him to write.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Crowds/Multitudes sang songs of victory and praise

Various groups sang songs of victory and praise

Rejoicing in Heaven (ESV)

19:6a–b

And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder: John described the sound in three ways. He compared it to a great multitude, the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder. He did not say who or what made the sound.

19:6a

And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude,

And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude: John described the noise he heard as being like a lot of people talking loudly. Other ways to translate this clause are:

I heard what sounded like a crowd (GNT)

I heard what sounded like a great many people (NCV)

19:6b

like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder,

the rushing of many waters: The Greek phrase is literally “the sound of many waters” (as in the RSV). It refers to the sound of a lot of rapidly moving water. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

a roaring waterfall (GNT)

the roar of mighty ocean waves (NLT)

the noise of flooding water (NCV)

See how you translated this phrase in 14:2.

a mighty rumbling of thunder: This phrase refers to crashes or rolls of loud thunder. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

the loud rumbling of thunder

the great roar of thunder (NJB)

the noise of loud thunder (NCV)

19:6c

crying out: “Hallelujah!

crying out: The Greek word that the BSB translates as crying out is literally “saying.” The noise was very loud, so the BSB uses the word “shouting.” But the crowd probably spoke in loud voices but did not yell. For example:

saying (NASB)

19:6d

For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

For: This conjunction introduces the reason for praising God (19:6c).

the Lord our God the Almighty: There is a textual issue in 19:6d: (1) Some early Greek manuscripts have the word our (BSB, RSV, NIV, GNT, NJB, NASB, NLT, GW, CEV, NET, REB, ESV, NCV). (2) Some early Greek manuscripts have the word the (KJV only). It is recommended that you follow option (1), because the UBS Greek NT recommends it. The word Almighty is a title. It means, “the one with the power to do anything.” For example:

the All-Powerful (NET)

See how you translated this word in 1:8 or 16:14.

reigns: This word refers to ruling as king. God rules over all things. For example:

is King (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς φωνὴν ὄχλου πολλοῦ, καὶ ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν, καὶ ὡς φωνὴν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν

like as like (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσα ὡς φωνήν ὄχλου πολλοῦ καί ὡς φωνήν ὑδάτων πολλῶν καί ὡς φωνήν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν λεγόντων Ἁλληλουϊά ὅτι ἐβασίλευσεν Κύριος ὁ Θεός ἡμῶν ὁ Παντοκράτωρ)

The point of this comparison is that the sound was very loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [a sound that was very loud, like the sound of a great crowd or many waters or powerful thunder]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὑδάτων πολλῶν

˱of˲_waters many

By many waters, John could mean a loud waterfall or raging floodwaters. See how you translated the similar expression in [1:15](../01/15.md). Alternate translation: [of a waterfall] or [of raging floodwaters]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμῶν

˱of˲_us

The person speaking here is likely continuing to address those who serve and fear God. So by our, the speaker means himself and them, so use the inclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

OET (OET-LV) And I_heard something like the_voice of_a_crowd great, and as the_sound of_waters many, and like a_sound of_thunders mighty saying:
Praise_Yāh, because reigned the_master, the god of_us the almighty.

OET (OET-RV) Then I heard what sounded like a large crowd and what seemed to be the sounds of lots of water and of powerful thunder, saying, “Praise Yah, because our God, the powerful Yahweh, reigns.

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.
