OET (OET-LV) And I_looked, and I_heard from_one eagle flying in midair, saying with_a_voice loud:
Woe, woe, woe, to_the ones dwelling on the earth, because/for the other voices of_the three trumpet of_the messengers which going to_be_trumpeting.
OET (OET-RV) Then as I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the sky, shouting loudly, “Three terrible things will happen to the people who’re living on the earth when the three remaining messengers blow their trumpets.”

ἀετοῦ
eagle
Some ancient manuscripts read eagle. ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “angel.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
οὐαὶ, οὐαὶ, οὐαὶ
woe woe woe
The eagle may be repeating the word woe for emphasis. If it would not be natural in your language to repeat a word in that way, you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “What great woe the ones living on the earth will experience” or see the next note for another possibility.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐαὶ, οὐαὶ, οὐαὶ
woe woe woe
Since 9:12 and 11:14 speak of a first, second, and third “woe,” the eagle may be announcing implicitly that three terrible events are about to occur. The UST models a way to express this possible meaning of the phrase woe, woe, woe.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν λοιπῶν φωνῶν τῆς σάλπιγγος τῶν τριῶν ἀγγέλων τῶν μελλόντων σαλπίζειν
the other voices ˱of˲_the trumpet ˱of˲_the three angels ¬which going /to_be/_trumpeting
This does not mean that the three angels only have one trumpet among them. Alternate translation: “the blasts that the remaining three angels will make on their trumpets when they blow them”
8:13 The ancients regarded the eagle as a symbolic messenger of God (see 4 Ezra 11:7-8; 2 Baruch 77:19-26).
• Terror, terror, terror: A threefold announcement would be recognized as a message from God (see Acts 10:16).
• The terror (Greek ouai) that sounded like an eagle’s screech was directed against humans of this world who were not among God’s faithful people (Rev 6:10; 9:4, 20).

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.
