For emphasis, the speaker is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [I command the water to be full of large groups of living creatures] or [I command there to be large numbers of water animals that live everywhere in the water]
וְעוֹף֙ יְעוֹפֵ֣ף
and=bird let_him/it_fly
The Hebrew word for birds can also be more general and refer to “winged/flying creatures,” which includes birds, bats, flying insects and even flying reptiles that are now extinct. Consider whether it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [and let there be birds that fly] or [Also let there be winged creatures that fly]

1:14-31 On days 4–6, God filled the domains that had been formed during days 1–3 (1:3-13).

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.
