OET (OET-LV) And I_saw something like a_sea glass having_been_mixed with_fire, and the ones overcoming of the wild_animal, and of the image of_it, and of the number of_the name of_it, having_stood on the sea the glass, having harps of_ the _god.
OET (OET-RV) I saw something that was like a sea of glass that had been mixed with fire. The people who had been victorious over the sea creature and over its image and over the number of its name were standing on that sea of glass. They were holding harps from God
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὡς θάλασσαν ὑαλίνην
like /a/_sea glass
The point of this comparison is that the large object made of glass looked like a sea. That is, it was wide and spacious and level. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. See how you translated the similar expression in 4:6. Alternate translation: [a large glass surface]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
μεμιγμένην πυρί
/having_been/_mixed ˱with˲_fire
The point of this further comparison seems to be that the glass sea was sparkling with light or reflecting the flashes of light that came from the nearby throne, as John describes in 4:5. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [that looked as if it was flashing with fire]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοὺς νικῶντας ἐκ τοῦ θηρίου, καὶ ἐκ τῆς εἰκόνος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ
the_‹ones› overcoming of the wild_beast and of the image ˱of˲_it and of the number ˱of˲_the name ˱of˲_it
John means implicitly that these people were victorious because they did not worship the beast and his image and did not accept the number of his name on their right hands or foreheads. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [who had not worshiped the beast or his image and who had not accepted the number of his name as a mark on their right hands or foreheads]
15:2 The glass sea mixed with fire symbolizes victory through testing. Those who had been victorious over the beast (see 13:1-8, 15-18) hold harps that represent ultimate peace. Their place on the glass sea (cp. 4:6) symbolizes their endurance in the fire of persecution (cp. Ps 66:12; Isa 43:2; Dan 3:8-30).

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.
