OET (OET-RV) Then the fifth messenger blew his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth, and he/it[fn] was given the key to the deep, dark pit.
9:1 It’s ambiguous in the Greek whether the key was given to the messenger or the star, or possibly the falling star was the messenger.
Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ πέμπτος ἄγγελος
the fifth angel
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [angel number five]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἡ κλεὶς τοῦ φρέατος τῆς Ἀβύσσου
/was/_given ˱to˲_him the key ˱of˲_the pit ˱of˲_the Abyss
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the star received the key to the shaft of the abyss]
9:1-21 The fifth and sixth trumpets demonstrate how God’s judgment affects the people of the world and detail how futile it is to resist God. While these judgments should lead to repentance, they do not. Sin has such control over people that they choose to worship the evil forces that torture and murder them rather than repent and turn to 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.
