Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐνώπιον & ἑστήκασιν
before & /have/_stood
In this context, while these angels may indeed position themselves in front of God's throne, the phrase stand before means to stay in the presence of another person in order to serve that person whenever and however needed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who remain ready to serve”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδόθησαν αὐτοῖς ἑπτὰ σάλπιγγες
˱they˲_/were/_given ˱to˲_them seven trumpets
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God gave each of them a trumpet”
8:2 The dramatic sounding of trumpets by angels heralds an approaching end (see Isa 27:13; Zech 9:14; Matt 24:31; 1 Cor 15:52; 1 Thes 4:16).

OET (OET-RV) And I saw the seven messengers who stand before God and they were each given a trumpet.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
