OET-LV And whenever will_be_giving the living_creatures glory, and honour, and thanksgiving, to_the one sitting on the throne, the one living to the ages of_the ages,

OET (OET-RV) Whenever the living creatures praise the one sitting on the throne and honour him and thank him (the one who lives through all the ages),

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–11: John saw the throne in heaven

In this section, John told more about the vision that he saw, using language similar to 1:10. In his vision he saw in the sky an opening into heaven. He could see God on his throne and different beings worshiping God.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The vision of the throne in heaven

A vision of God’s throne in heaven (GW)

4:9a

And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks

And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks: This clause refers to what the creatures were saying in 4:8. By saying these words of praise, they were giving glory, honor, and thanks to God.

give glory, honor, and thanks: This phrase indicates that the creatures acknowledge God’s glory, that they honor him and thank him. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

glorify and honor and thank

praising, honoring, and thanking (CEV)

give glory: This phrase refers to agreeing that God has glory. The living creatures do that by praising God. They say that he is great, and that he has all power and majesty. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

acknowledge his majesty

praise him that he is awesome

give…honor: This phrase refers to showing respect and reverence to someone. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

revere

show respect

lift up the name

4:9b

to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever,

to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever: The two phrases to the One seated on the throne and (him) who lives forever and ever both refer to God.

Other ways to translate this phrase are:

to him who sits on the throne, that is, the one who lives for ever and ever

the one who sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever (CEV)

to the forever existing one who sits on the throne

who lives forever and ever: The Greek words are literally “to the one living into the ages of the ages.” The word “age” refers to a very long time, so the phrase “the ages of the ages” refers to eternity. For example:

who lives for evermore

who lives for all ages to come

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory, honor, and thanks, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [glorify and honor and thank the one sitting]

OET (OET-RV) Whenever the living creatures praise the one sitting on the throne and honour him and thank him (the one who lives through all the ages),

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.
