OET (OET-LV) And the city neither need is_having of_the sun nor of_the moon that they_may_be_shining in_it, because/for the glory of_ the _god enlightened it, and the lamp of_it is the lamb.
OET (OET-RV) The city doesn’t need the sun or moon to illuminate it because God’s radiance illuminates it, and its lamp is the lamb.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐδὲ τῆς σελήνης
nor ˱of˲_the moon
John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [nor does the city have need of the moon]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ λύχνος αὐτῆς τὸ Ἀρνίον
the lamp ˱of˲_it_‹is› the Lamb
John is speaking as if the Lamb were literally a lamp that lit up the city. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [her light is the Lamb] or [its light is the Lamb] or [the light of that city is the Lamb]
21:23 The vitality, energy, and life of the city are not in institutions or physical sources of power and light, but in the glory of God and the Lamb. The sun and moon were features of the first creation (Gen 1:14-19; see Isa 60:19-20).
• the Lamb is its light: Jesus is the light of the world (see John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35-36).
OET (OET-LV) And the city neither need is_having of_the sun nor of_the moon that they_may_be_shining in_it, because/for the glory of_ the _god enlightened it, and the lamp of_it is the lamb.
OET (OET-RV) The city doesn’t need the sun or moon to illuminate it because God’s radiance illuminates it, and its lamp is the lamb.
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.
