OET (OET-RV) Yerushalem disobeyed terribly, therefore, she became filth.
⇔ All her glory is scorned, because they’ve seen her nakedness.
⇔ Again, she groans and turns away.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְנִידָ֣ה הָיָ֑תָה
(into),impurity become
Here the author is speaking as if Jerusalem were an object of ritual abhorrence, something that people treat as defiling and avoid. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [she has become something people avoid]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֶרְוָתָ֔הּ
nakedness_of,its
By her nakedness, the author means her naked body is being exposed to shame before her enemies. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [how shamefully exposed she is]
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

(Some words not found in UHB: sin she_sinned Yerushalayim on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so (into),impurity become all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_honored_it they,despise_it that/for/because/then/when seen nakedness_of,its also/yet she/it groans and,it_has_turned_away away )
Turning backward was a symbolic action by which Jerusalem showed her shame and disgrace before those who saw her. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and retreated in shame]

⇔ Again, she groans and turns away.
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.
