Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נִשְׂקַד֩ עֹ֨ל פְּשָׁעַ֜י בְּיָד֗וֹ יִשְׂתָּֽרְג֛וּ עָל֥וּ עַל־צַוָּארִ֖י
(Some words not found in UHB: bound yoke_of my_transgressions_of,my in=his/its=hand fastened_together come on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in neck_of,my fail strength_of,my he,has_given_me my=master in,the_hands_of not able withstand )
Here Jerusalem is speaking as if her sins were a yoke that was bound fast and intertwined and placed on her neck, like the wooden frame placed on the neck of a draft animal to control it. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My sins have completely overpowered me] or [Yahweh has made my sins control me completely]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִשְׂקַד֩ עֹ֨ל פְּשָׁעַ֜י
(Some words not found in UHB: bound yoke_of my_transgressions_of,my in=his/its=hand fastened_together come on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in neck_of,my fail strength_of,my he,has_given_me my=master in,the_hands_of not able withstand )
The expression The yoke of my transgressions was bound fast is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [He bound fast the yoke of my transgressions]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of transgressions, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [of the ways I transgressed]

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.
