OET (OET-LV) and he_opened_up the pit of_the abyss, and went_up smoke out_of of_the pit, like the_smoke of_a_furnace great, and was_darkened the sun and the air by the smoke of_the pit.
OET (OET-RV) When he/it unlocked and opened that pit, smoke came up out of it like the smoke of a large furnace, and the smoke darkened the sun and the air.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐκ τοῦ φρέατος, ὡς καπνὸς καμίνου μεγάλης
went_up smoke out_of ˱of˲_the pit like /the/_smoke ˱of˲_/a/_furnace great
The point of this comparison is that a large quantity of smoke came from the shaft, just as a great furnace would give off a large quantity of smoke. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “a large quantity of smoke went up from the shaft, as does from a huge furnace”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσκοτώθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ τοῦ φρέατος
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ φρέαρ τῆς Ἀβύσσου καὶ ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐκ τοῦ φρέατος ὡς καπνὸς καμίνου μεγάλης καὶ ἐσκοτίσθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ τοῦ φρέατος)
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 smoke from the shaft darkened the sun and the air”
9:2 The smoke from the pit turned the sky dark, as in the plague on Egypt (Exod 10:21-29; see Matt 27:45).
OET (OET-LV) and he_opened_up the pit of_the abyss, and went_up smoke out_of of_the pit, like the_smoke of_a_furnace great, and was_darkened the sun and the air by the smoke of_the pit.
OET (OET-RV) When he/it unlocked and opened that pit, smoke came up out of it like the smoke of a large furnace, and the smoke darkened the sun and the air.
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.
