OET (OET-LV) I, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), sent the messenger of_me, to_testify to_you_all these things in the assemblies.
I am the root and the descent of_Dawid/(Dāvid), the star the shining, the morning.
OET (OET-RV) “I, Yeshua, have sent my messenger to explain these things to you concerning the churches. I am both David’s source and his descendant—the bright morning star.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
μαρτυρῆσαι ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐπὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
/to/_testify ˱to˲_you_all these_‹things› in the assemblies
Here the word you is plural. Alternate translation: “to testify to all of you in the churches about these things that concern you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ ῥίζα καὶ τὸ γένος Δαυείδ
the root and the descent (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγὼ Ἰησοῦς ἔπεμψα τὸν ἄγγελόν μου μαρτυρῆσαι ὑμῖν ταῦτα ἐπὶ ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ῥίζα καὶ τὸ γένος Δαυίδ ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ λαμπρός ὁ πρωϊνός)
Jesus is speaking as if here were literally the root of a tree. He means that David came from him, just as a tree comes from its roots. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “both the source and the offspring of David”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ λαμπρός, ὁ πρωϊνός
the star ¬the shining ¬the morning
Jesus is also speaking of himself as if he were the bright star that sometimes appears early in the morning and indicates that a new day is about to begin. Alternate translation: “the sign that God is beginning a new era”
22:16 I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne: Jesus validates the message of Revelation (cp. John 21:24) by swearing that he is simultaneously the source of David (see Rev 5:5; Isa 11:10) and David’s heir (see Ezek 37:23-24; Rom 1:3).
• The morning star was a name for the Messiah (see Num 24:17; 2 Pet 1:19; cp. Luke 1:78-79).

OET (OET-RV) “I, Yeshua, have sent my messenger to explain these things to you concerning the churches. I am both David’s source and his descendant—the bright morning star.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
