OET (OET-LV) and they_were_having hairs like the_hairs of_women, and the teeth of_them like of_lions were,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
τρίχας ὡς τρίχας γυναικῶν
hairs like /the/_hairs ˱of˲_women
In this culture women typically wore their hair long. So the point of this comparison is that the locusts had long hair. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “hair that was long like the hair of women”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὡς λεόντων ἦσαν
the teeth ˱of˲_them like ˱of˲_lions were
John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “their teeth were as the teeth of lions”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὡς λεόντων ἦσαν
the teeth ˱of˲_them like ˱of˲_lions were
The point of this comparison is that the locusts had teeth that were sharp, large, and strong, like the teeth of lions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “their teeth were sharp, large, and strong like lions’ teeth”
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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
