waiting_for
Alternate translation: “while we wait to welcome”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα, καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης
the blessed hope and /the/_appearing ˱of˲_the glory
These two phrases connected with and express a single event. The words blessed hope describe how Paul feels about the appearing of Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use and. Alternate translation: “the blessing for which we hope, which is the appearing of the glory” or “what we are longing for, the blessed and glorious appearing”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα, καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης
the blessed hope and /the/_appearing ˱of˲_the glory
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of hope and glory, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “what we are longing for, the blessed and glorious appearing”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα, καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
the blessed hope and /the/_appearing ˱of˲_the glory ˱of˲_the great God and Savior ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ
Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe an event that is characterized by glory, which is when Jesus Christ will be appearing. If your language would not use the possessive form to express this, you could say it differently. Alternate translation: “the blessed event that we have been hoping for when our great God and Savior Jesus Christ gloriously appears”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
τοῦ μεγάλου Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
˱of˲_the great God and Savior ˱of˲_us Jesus Christ
Both our great God and Savior refer to the one person, Jesus Christ. Alternate translation: “of Jesus Christ, our great God and Savior”
2:13 we look forward: This implies hope as well as future accountability, both of which stimulate godly conduct in the present.
• will be revealed: This phrase translates a prominent Greek word in the letters to Timothy and Titus (“epiphany” or “appearing”; also 2:11; see study note on 1 Tim 6:14).
• great God and Savior: This is one of the few places in the New Testament where Jesus Christ is called “God” outright (see also John 1:1; 20:28; Rom 9:5; Heb 1:8; 2 Pet 1:1; possibly John 1:18). Yet this claim is entirely consistent with the roles and attributes of Christ and the worship that he receives. Possibly this designation is used here to insist that Christ is not a mere human promoted to membership in the pantheon of gods (see study note on Titus 1:12). At the time of this letter, Christians were insisting more and more that Christ alone, rather than rulers and emperors, should be called divine.

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.
