Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

5:1-14 John introduces the Lamb, Jesus Christ, the central figure of Revelation and God’s chosen agent for accomplishing his purposes.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων
myriads ˱of˲_myriads and thousands ˱of˲_thousands
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 and thousands ˱of˲_thousands
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”
