Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ ἕκτος ἄγγελος
the sixth angel
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “angel number six”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
φωνὴν μίαν
voice one
John is using one part of a person, his voice, to represent all of the person in the act of speaking. John does not say who the speaker was, but it may have been God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “someone speaking”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
κεράτων
horns
John is referring to the horn-shaped extensions that were at each of the four corners of the top of the altar. He calls them horns by association with their shape. If it would be clearer for your readers, in your translation you could just refer to the “corners” of the altar, as UST does.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
˱of˲_the ¬the ¬which before ¬the God
Here the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. The Jews believed that God was especially present at his altar. Alternate translation: “that is in the presence of God”
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.
