OET (OET-LV) and they_were_having hairs like the_hairs of_women, and the teeth of_them like of_lions were,

OET (OET-RV) Their hair was like women’s hair and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:6–9:21: Angels blew the first six trumpets

In this section, the blowing of each trumpet signaled a disaster. God would send these disasters upon the people of the earth. Some of the disasters were hail, fire, and poisoned water.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The Seven Angels and Trumpets (NCV)

The Seven Trumpets (NRSV)

9:8a

They had hair like that of women,

They had hair like that of women: The Greek is literally “they had hair like women’s hair,” as in the NABRE. It makes clear that these locusts had something that normal locusts do not have.

How it was that They had hair like that of women is not explained here. It could mean that their hair was long, surrounded the face, or was thick. You should translate this clause literally without explaining it.

9:8b

and teeth like those of lions.

teeth like those of lions: The phrase teeth like those of lions describes teeth that are long and sharp so that they can bite deeply into other large animals. In some languages people are not familiar with lions. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

uW Translation Notes:

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]

OET (OET-LV) and they_were_having hairs like the_hairs of_women, and the teeth of_them like of_lions were,

OET (OET-RV) Their hair was like women’s hair and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.

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.
