OET (OET-LV) And I_have_said to_him:
master of_me, you you_have_known.
And he_said to_me:
These are the ones coming out_of the tribulation the great, and they_washed the robes of_them, and they_whitened them in the blood of_the lamb.
OET (OET-RV) “Sir, you are the one who knows,” I answered.
¶ And then he told me, “Those are the ones who’ve come through the terrible tribulation, and they’ve washed their robes in the blood of the lamb and made them white.
Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
κύριέ μου, σὺ οἶδας
lord ˱of˲_me you ˱you˲_/have/_known
John is answering the elder politely. You may translate this the way someone would respond politely in your language to a question whose answer they did not know. Alternate translation: “I do not know, please tell me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς θλίψεως τῆς μεγάλης
the tribulation ¬the great
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tribulatron, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the time when believers in Jesus will be greatly persecuted”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔπλυναν τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλεύκαναν αὐτὰς ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Ἀρνίου
˱they˲_washed the robes ˱of˲_them and ˱they˲_whitened them in the blood ˱of˲_the Lamb
As in 3:4 and other passages in the book, robes that are white represent purity of life and devotion to Jesus. The blood of the Lamb is the blood that Jesus shed when he died on the cross as the Savior. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. The UST models one way to do this.
7:14 who died in (literally who came out of): See 6:9; 20:4.
• the great tribulation: A time of horrible and distressing events (see 1:9; 2:9-10; Deut 4:30-31; Matt 24:21-22; Acts 14:22).
• They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb: This description symbolizes Christ’s redeeming death for them.
• made them white: This description expresses their victory over sin and death and their acceptance by God into eternal life.

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.
