OET (OET-LV) And I_heard of_the altar saying:
Yes, master the god the almighty, true and righteous are the judgements of_you.
OET (OET-RV) Then I heard (someone at?) the altar say, “Yes, Yahweh God, ruler of all, you judge people with truth and fairness.”

ἤκουσα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγοντος
˱I˲_heard ˱of˲_the altar saying
John is describing the altar as a living thing that can speak. As the General Introduction to Revelation discusses, within the world of this vision, this is not a figure of speech and so you can translate it literally even if your language does not use figures of speech.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι
true and righteous_‹are›
The terms true and righteous mean similar things. The altar is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “entirely righteous”
16:7 I heard a voice from the altar: The antiphonal response to the angel’s proclamation (16:5-6) affirms God’s authority and justice. This doxology in the midst of judgment reminds persecuted Christians that God truly cares about his suffering servants and fulfills his own purpose in everything.

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.
