OET (OET-LV) And said the one sitting on the throne:
Behold, new I_am_making all things.
And he_is_saying to_me:
Write, because these the messages faithful and true are.

OET (OET-RV) Then the one sitting on the throne said, “Listen, I’m remaking everything.” And he told me, “Write that down because these words are trustworthy and true.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:1–8: John saw the new heaven and earth

In this section, John saw a new heaven, a new earth, and a new Jerusalem. John also heard someone explain that God now lives with his people. The person also spoke about those who did not follow God.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The new heaven and earth descended, and God began living with his people

All things made new (JBP)

21:5a

And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”

And the One seated on the throne: This phrase refers to God (21:7b). John described him here instead of referring to him directly. For example:

the One sitting on the throne (NJB)

John named God as the being seated on the throne in other verses (for example, 19:4). It should be clear here that the words the One refer to God. In some languages a literal translation would wrongly refer to someone else. If that is true in your language, imply or indicate that the phrase refers to God. For example:

The One who sits on the throne and rules everything

The great/greatest One who sits on the throne

God, sitting on the/his throne,

See how you translated a similar phrase “the One seated on the throne” in 6:16.

Behold, I make all things new: The Greek clause here begins with the word “look” (as in the NJB). The BSB translates this Greek word as Behold. The word emphasizes or calls attention to the words that follow. Other ways to translate this clause are:

Look/Listen, I am making the whole creation new

Indeed/Hey, I am making all things new

21:5b

Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”

Then He said: God spoke to John here. For example:

He also said to me (GNT)

Write this down: This clause refers back to 21:5a or to 21:3b–5a. In some languages it is more natural to use the word “that” or “those” when referring back. For example:

Write that

Write those things

for: This conjunction introduces the reason that God commanded John to write down those words.

faithful: This word refers to something one can depend on. What God said will certainly happen. Other ways to translate this word are:

reliable (NET)

can be trusted (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι & εἰσιν

these ¬the words & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν ὁ καθήμενος ἐπί τῷ θρόνῳ Ἰδού καινά ποιῶ παντᾶ Καί λέγει μοί Γράψον ὅτι οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι πιστοί καί ἀληθινοί εἰσίν)

God is using the term word to mean the statement that he has just made by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what I have just said is]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πιστοὶ καὶ ἀληθινοί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν ὁ καθήμενος ἐπί τῷ θρόνῳ Ἰδού καινά ποιῶ παντᾶ Καί λέγει μοί Γράψον ὅτι οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι πιστοί καί ἀληθινοί εἰσίν)

The terms trustworthy and true mean similar things. God on the throne is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [entirely trustworthy]

OET (OET-LV) And said the one sitting on the throne:
Behold, new I_am_making all things.
And he_is_saying to_me:
Write, because these the messages faithful and true are.

OET (OET-RV) Then the one sitting on the throne said, “Listen, I’m remaking everything.” And he told me, “Write that down because these words are trustworthy and true.”

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.
