OET (OET-LV) as also_I have_received from the father of_me, and I_will_be_giving to_him the star the morning.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὡς κἀγὼ εἴληφα
as also_I /have/_received
Jesus 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: “as I also have received authority”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τοῦ πατρός μου
the father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God and Jesus. Be sure to retain this title in your translation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν
the star ¬the morning
Jesus is speaking as if he will literally give the faithful believers in Thyatira the morning star. This could mean: (1) confident hope about the future, just as the appearance of the morning star (that is, the planet Venus) shows that a new day is about to begin. (2) a deep and meaningful relationship with Jesus, who says in 22:16, “I am … the bright morning star.” You could say either of these things in your translation. The UST models one way to express the first possibility. However, since this image recurs later in the book, you may wish to retain it here by translating the phrase the morning star directly.
2:18-29 The letter to the church in Thyatira confronts Christians who mix Christianity with pagan practices and a worldly lifestyle.
OET (OET-LV) as also_I have_received from the father of_me, and I_will_be_giving to_him the star the morning.
OET (OET-RV) just like the authority that I’ve received from my father. And I’ll give them the 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.
