OET (OET-LV) And out_of the throne are_going_out lightnings, and voices, and thunders.
And seven lamps of_fire being_burned before the throne, which is the seven spirits of_ the _god,
OET (OET-RV) From the centre throne came lightning flashes and thunderous sounds and voices. In front of it, seven torches were burning, which are God’s seven spirits.
φωναὶ, καὶ βρονταί
voices and thunders
The word translated sounds could mean: (1) noises, in which case sounds and thunders might be a phrase that expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word thunders would tell what kind of noises these are. Alternate translation: [rumblings of thunder] (2) voices. Alternate translation: [voices and thunders]

λαμπάδες πυρὸς
lamps ˱of˲_fire
This possessive form does not mean that the lamps were made of fire but that they burned with fire. Alternate translation: [flaming lamps]
