OET (OET-LV) And all the messengers had_stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living_creatures, and they_fell before the throne on the faces of_them, and they_prostrated the before_god

OET (OET-RV) Then all the messengers stood around the throne, and around the elders and the four living beings. The messengers all knelt down in front of the throne with their faces to the ground and worshipped God

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:9–17: A great multitude praised God and the Lamb

In this section, John saw a new part of this vision. He saw believers rejoicing, praising, and worshiping in heaven. One of the elders around the throne (4:4) explained the vision to John.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The vision of a huge crowd of believers and its explanation

The Great Multitude in White Robes (NIV)

God’s People Around His Throne in Heaven (GW)

7:11a

And all the angels stood around the throne

7:11a–b

And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures: The throne was at the center of the area. Near the throne were the four living creatures (4:6b). The elders were in a circle around the throne and the four living creatures (4:4a). This clause indicates that the angels surrounded all these things. Other ways to translate this clause are:

All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. (GNT)

all the angels who were standing in a circle round the throne, surrounding the elders and the four living creatures (NJB)

7:11b

and around the elders and the four living creatures.

the elders: Here the word elders refers to those who have authority. These twenty-four people (or angels) were leaders. They had God as their leader. See how you translated this word in 4:4.

the four living creatures: The Greek word that the BSB translates as living creatures is literally “living (ones).” The word refers to beings that are like angels. See how you translated this phrase in 4:6.

7:11c

And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

And they fell facedown: Here, this phrase refers to kneeling and putting the face to the ground with arms outstretched toward someone. This position showed complete humility before God and honored him. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

prostrated themselves…and touched the ground with their foreheads (NJB)

threw themselves down with their faces to the ground (NET)

Many languages have a different action that shows complete humility and honor to someone. If that is true in your language, you may want to use that word or phrase. See how you translated the similar phrases in 4:10 or 5:14.

worshiped: This word refers to honoring someone or something as sacred/divine. Other ways to translate this word are:

venerated

revered

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔπεσαν & ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν

˱they˲_fell & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι εἱστήκεισαν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καί τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καί τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καί ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου ἐπί τά πρόσωπα αὐτῶν καί προσεκύνησαν τῷ Θεῷ)

Be sure that it is clear in your translation that the angels and elders and living creatures did not fall down accidentally. They bowed down in front of the throne as a gesture to honor God. Alternate translation: [they bowed down with their faces to the ground]

OET (OET-LV) And all the messengers had_stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living_creatures, and they_fell before the throne on the faces of_them, and they_prostrated the before_god

OET (OET-RV) Then all the messengers stood around the throne, and around the elders and the four living beings. The messengers all knelt down in front of the throne with their faces to the ground and worshipped God

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.
