OET (OET-LV) And I_saw a_throne great white, and the one sitting on on_it, whose from the face fled the earth and the heaven, and place not was_found for_them.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw a large white throne with someone sitting on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence but they couldn’t find where to go.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:11–15: God judged the dead

In this section, John saw God sitting on his throne. God judged all people according to what they had done. If they had not followed God, he threw them into the lake of fire. These people did not have their names in the Book of Life.

Other examples for this section heading are:

The Judgment at the Great White Throne (CEV)

The dead were judged

20:11a

Then I saw a great white throne and the One seated on it.

great: The throne is probably called great because it is large, beautiful, and important. It is an important throne because it belongs to God.

throne: A throne is the official chair of a king. When the king is seated on his throne, he rules over his people and his country. Therefore, the word is used as a symbol for his authority to rule. Here the word throne refers to the place from where God rules.

See how you translated this word in 1:4.

the One seated on it: The word One refers to God here.

In some languages a literal translation would wrongly refer to someone other than God. If that is true in your language, you may want to refer to God in your translation. For example:

God who was seated on it

God, the one seated on it

20:11b

Earth and heaven fled from His presence,

Earth and heaven fled from His presence: This clause is figurative language that describes the disappearance of the earth and sky. It pictures everything being cleared away, perhaps in the sense of clearing out God’s courtroom in preparation for the judging of all people. Other ways to translate this clause are:

Earth and sky left his presence

In his presence, earth and sky vanished (NJB)

Earth and sky ran away from him (NCV)

Earth and heaven: Here this phrase probably refers to the whole universe. So all the things in the sky, such as the sun, moon, planets, and stars, are included here. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

all that God created/made

earth and sky and all that is in them

the universe

from His presence: This phrase is emphasized in the Greek. If possible, emphasize this phrase.

20:11c

and no place was found for them.

no place was found for them: This clause probably indicates that the earth and sky had completely vanished (as in 21:1b). Other ways to translate this clause are:

there was no room for them any more (REB)

were seen no more (GNT)

disappeared (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὗ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου

whose (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον θρόνον μέγαν λευκόν καί τόν καθήμενον ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ οὗ ἀπό τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καί ὁ οὐρανός καί τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς)

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: [from whose presence]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

fled the earth (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον θρόνον μέγαν λευκόν καί τόν καθήμενον ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ οὗ ἀπό τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καί ὁ οὐρανός καί τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς)

These two phrases mean similar things. John is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [earth and heaven vanished entirely]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός

fled the earth (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον θρόνον μέγαν λευκόν καί τόν καθήμενον ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ οὗ ἀπό τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καί ὁ οὐρανός καί τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς)

John is speaking of earth and heaven as if they were living things that fled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [earth and heaven disappeared]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

place not ˓was˒_found ˱for˲_them

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: [no one found a place for them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς

place not ˓was˒_found ˱for˲_them

This expression means “no place could be found for them” or “they were no longer there.” Alternate translation: [they were no longer there]

OET (OET-LV) And I_saw a_throne great white, and the one sitting on on_it, whose from the face fled the earth and the heaven, and place not was_found for_them.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw a large white throne with someone sitting on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence but they couldn’t find where to go.

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.
