Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
παρδάλει & ἄρκου & λέοντος
˱to˲_/a/_leopard & ˱of˲_/a/_bear & ˱of˲_/a/_lion
A leopard is a large, fierce cat that lives in the jungle. A bear is a large, heavy, powerful mammal that can be very dangerous if it feels threatened. A lion is a large, fierce cat that often lives on the plains. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, in your translation you could the names of comparable animals that they would recognize, or you could use general descriptions.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ
the power ˱of˲_him and the throne ˱of˲_him
John is referring to the dragon’s right to rule by association with the throne on which a ruler would sit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his power and his right to rule”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ
the power ˱of˲_him and the throne ˱of˲_him
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word throne tells what kind of power the dragon gave to this beast. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “his ruling power” or “his power to rule”
