OET (OET-RV) But the rest of you believers in the city of Thyatira have not obeyed that woman’s teachings and haven’t taken part in what she calls ‘the secret practices that Satan taught her’, I have something to say to you all as well. I won’t give you any other other burden
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν & ὑμᾶς
˱to˲_you_all & you_all
The word you is plural in these instances. Jesus is speaking more directly to the faithful believers in Thyatira in order to encourage them. You may consider using the plural form of “you” here if that would be natural in your language.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ βαθέα τοῦ Σατανᾶ, ὡς λέγουσιν
the deep_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_Satan as ˱they˲_/are/_saying
The people Jesus is quoting have been using the adjective deep as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. The adjective is plural, and the ULT adds the word things to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the things pertaining to Satan that they call deep”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
ὡς λέγουσιν
as ˱they˲_/are/_saying
The pronoun they is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. Jesus is using this indefinite construction to focus on what is being said rather than on who is saying it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a different expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “as the people who do hold this teaching call them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
οὐ βάλλω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος
not ˱I˲_/am/_casting on you_all another burden
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “that I do not put another burden on you”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐ βάλλω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος
not ˱I˲_/am/_casting on you_all another burden
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: "I put only this one burden on you"
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐ βάλλω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος
not ˱I˲_/am/_casting on you_all another burden
Jesus is speaking as if he might literally put a burden on the believers in Thyatira. He is referring to something he might require of them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I do not require anything else of you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄλλο βάρος
another burden
By another burden, Jesus means implicitly no burden other than the one he is about to mention. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “any burden on you other than the following:”
2:24 The depths of Satan might be a striking reference to the Gnostic god named “Depth” (Bythos), who with his partner “Silence” (Sigē) formed a philosophic godhead. Gnosticism placed great emphasis on secret knowledge.

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.
