OET-LV And_also blood innocent Mənashsheh he_shed much very until that he_had_filled DOM Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) mouth to_mouth apart_apart from_sin_of_his which he_caused_to_sin DOM Yəhūdāh/(Judah) for_doing the_evil in/on_both_eyes_of YHWH.
OET (OET-RV) Menasheh even poured out so much innocent blood that he filled Yerushalem with it from one side to the other, and that was on top of his other sin of leading Yehudah into doing what Yahweh had said was evil.

The author is using the expression poured out … blood to represent killing, since blood pours out of people when they are killed violently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And Manasseh also killed very many innocent people] or [And Manasseh also had very many innocent people killed]

The author is using the term mouth to mean “end” or “side.” If this term does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in 10:21. Alternate translation: [until he filled Jerusalem from one end to the other] or [until he filled Jerusalem completely]

The author is speaking as if Jerusalem had been a container and Manasseh had actually filled it with blood. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [until people had been killed violently in every part of Jerusalem]

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.
