OET (OET-LV) The one having an_ear, him_let_hear what the spirit is_saying to_the assemblies.
To_the one overcoming, I_will_be_giving to_him of_the manna which having_been_hidden, and I_will_be_giving to_him a_stone white, and on the stone a_name new having_been_written, which no_one has_known, except not/lest the one receiving it.
OET (OET-RV) Everyone who wants to understand needs to listen to what God’s spirit is saying to the assemblies.
¶ Anyone who stays true will be given hidden food from heaven, and I’ll give each of them a white stone with a new name written on it that no one knows apart from the person receiving it.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου
˱of˲_the manna ¬which /having_been/_hidden
If your language does not use the passive form in this way for the word hidden manna, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “some manna that I have hidden”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον
/a/_name new /having_been/_written
If your language does not use the passive form in this way for the word written, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “a new name that I have written”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων
no_one /has/_known except ¬not/lest the_‹one› receiving_‹it›
If it would appear in your language that Jesus is contradicting himself by saying that no one knows the new name but then saying that the one receiving it knows this name, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “only the person receiving it knows”
2:17 Those who remain faithful to Christ will receive manna, nourishment from heaven (see Exod 16:11-36).
• hidden away in heaven: During the Exodus, a jar of manna was placed in the Ark of the Covenant (Exod 16:33-36). Jewish tradition said that at the coming of the Messiah, the Ark would reappear and manna would be eaten at the messianic banquet. Jesus is the bread from heaven and the bread of life (John 6:32-35; cp. Exod 16:4-21).
• A white stone was often given to victors in athletic competitions, and it was common for special banquets or festivities to use a white stone for admission. It therefore suggests acceptance and victory.
• The new name probably refers to the recipient’s transformed nature in Christ (see Gen 17:5; 32:28; John 1:42).

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.
