Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν παντὶ θλιβόμενοι, ἀλλ’ οὐ στενοχωρούμενοι; ἀπορούμενοι
in everything /being/_oppressed but not /being/_crushed perplexing
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who does the actions, you could use indefinite subjects. Alternate translation: “in every side someone pressing us in, but not crushing us; feeling perplexed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἐν παντὶ θλιβόμενοι
in everything /being/_oppressed
Here, the phrase in every side could go with: (1) all the statements in this verse and the following verse. Alternate translation: “in every situation experiencing these things: being pressed in” (2) just the first statement about being pressed in, but not being crushed. Alternate translation: “being pressed in on every side”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν παντὶ
in everything
Here, the word every indicates that what Paul is about to describe happens often or in many situations. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “in every situation” or “at many times”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
θλιβόμενοι, ἀλλ’ οὐ στενοχωρούμενοι
/being/_oppressed but not /being/_crushed
Here Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers were physically being pressed in by other people but not being crushed by them. He speaks in this way to indicate that other people are making his life difficult or trying to hurt him, but they are not fully succeeding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “being pushed, but not being knocked over” or “being mistreated, but not being harmed”
