OET (OET-LV) And I_looked, and I_heard the_voice of_messengers many around the throne, and of_the living_creatures, and of_the elders, and was the number of_them tens_of_thousands of_tens_of_thousands and thousands of_thousands,

OET (OET-RV) Then I looked and I heard the voices of the living creatures and elders that were around the throne along with millions of God’s messengers

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:6–14: Many people praised the Lamb

In this section, John described the one who was worthy to open the seals. He was like a lamb that had been killed. John also described those who worshiped the lamb. Then he wrote what they said.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Every being/person praised the Lamb

Worship of the Lamb that was slain

The Lamb is praised/worshiped

5:11a

Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels

Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels: These words probably indicate that John saw the angels as well as heard them, because he indicates where they are in 5:11c. In some languages it is more natural to indicate that he saw the angels. For example:

Then I looked around and saw many angels and heard their voices

heard the voices of many angels: In 5:12a, John described how the angels spoke. They spoke loudly, and they probably spoke in unison.

In some languages it is more natural to describe how they spoke here. For example:

heard many angels speaking loudly

5:11b

and living creatures and elders encircling the throne,

5:11c

and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

5:11b–c

myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands: The Greek words are literally “ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands.” The two phrases refer to a very large number of angels. The phrases does not imply an exact number or that John counted them.

The two phrases together emphasize a very large number. Other ways to translate these phrases are:

many thousands of thousands and many ten thousands of ten thousands

thousands and millions (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων

myriads ˱of˲_myriads (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον καί ἤκουσα φωνήν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καί τῶν ζῴων καί τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καί ἦν ὁ ἀριθμός αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καί χιλιάδες χιλιάδων)

Since myriads are larger than thousands and John wants to convey what a great number of angels he saw and heard, it might be more natural to put the smaller number first and build up to the larger number. Alternate translation: [thousands of thousands and myriads of myriads]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων

myriads ˱of˲_myriads (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶδον καί ἤκουσα φωνήν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καί τῶν ζῴων καί τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καί ἦν ὁ ἀριθμός αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καί χιλιάδες χιλιάδων)

John may be using these multiples of large numbers to indicate implicitly that the number of angels was too great to count. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [too great to count]

Note 3 topic: translate-numbers

μυριάδες μυριάδων

myriads ˱of˲_myriads

A myriad is a hundred hundred or ten thousand. Your language may have its own term for this number. You could also use a general expression. Alternate translation: [tens of thousands of tens of thousands] or [hundreds of millions]

OET (OET-LV) And I_looked, and I_heard the_voice of_messengers many around the throne, and of_the living_creatures, and of_the elders, and was the number of_them tens_of_thousands of_tens_of_thousands and thousands of_thousands,

OET (OET-RV) Then I looked and I heard the voices of the living creatures and elders that were around the throne along with millions of God’s messengers

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
