Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ πρῶτος ἐσάλπισεν
the first trumpeted
The word first implicitly means the first angel, and the word sounded implicitly means that he sounded his trumpet. You could indicate this in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the first angel sounded his trumpet”
Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ πρῶτος
the first
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, if your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers or equivalent expressions here and in verses 8, 10, and 12. Alternate translation: “angel number one”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐβλήθη & κατεκάη & κατεκάη & κατεκάη
˱it˲_/was/_cast & /was/_burned_up & /was/_burned_up & /was/_burned_up
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the angel threw it … burned up … burned up … burned up”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸ τρίτον τῆς γῆς κατεκάη, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῶν δένδρων κατεκάη, καὶ πᾶς χόρτος χλωρὸς κατεκάη
the third ˱of˲_the /the/_earth /was/_burned_up and the third ˱of˲_the trees /was/_burned_up and all grass green /was/_burned_up
If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. Alternate translation: “it burned up a third of the earth, a third of the trees, and all the green grass”
Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants
καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς γῆς κατεκάη
and and and and and the third ˱of˲_the /the/_earth /was/_burned_up
Some ancient manuscripts include the phrase and a third of the earth was burned up. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts do not include that phrase. 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.
8:7 Hail and fire mixed with blood signal the destruction of plant life, as did the seventh plague on Egypt (see Exod 9:13-35; Joel 2:31; Acts 2:19).
• all the green grass was burned: Nothing escapes God’s judgment.
• This vision need not be harmonized with Rev 9:4 because each scene is self-contained and communicates its own message.

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.
