clap on,you (Some words not found in UHB: clap on,you hands all/each/any/every pass_along_of way hiss and,they_have_shaken head_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughter_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [is],this? the=city which,people_said perfection_of beauty joy to/from=all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
Clapping hands at someone was a symbolic action by which they showed scorn, mockery, and contempt. This is not applause. 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: [mock you by clapping their hands]

(Some words not found in UHB: clap on,you hands all/each/any/every pass_along_of way hiss and,they_have_shaken head_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughter_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [is],this? the=city which,people_said perfection_of beauty joy to/from=all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
Hissing and shaking the head were symbolic gestures of derision and scorn. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could add a short explanation. Alternate translation: [They express their contempt by hissing and shaking their heads]

הֲזֹ֣את הָעִ֗יר שֶׁיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ כְּלִ֣ילַת יֹ֔פִי מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ
[is],this? the=city (Some words not found in UHB: clap on,you hands all/each/any/every pass_along_of way hiss and,they_have_shaken head_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughter_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [is],this? the=city which,people_said perfection_of beauty joy to/from=all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
The passers-by use a rhetorical question to express their disbelief that the once-glorious city has fallen to such ruin. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [This cannot be the city that people used to call the most beautiful, the joy of the entire earth!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
הֲזֹ֣את הָעִ֗יר שֶׁיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ כְּלִ֣ילַת יֹ֔פִי מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ
[is],this? the=city (Some words not found in UHB: clap on,you hands all/each/any/every pass_along_of way hiss and,they_have_shaken head_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughter_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [is],this? the=city which,people_said perfection_of beauty joy to/from=all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
This is a quotation within a quotation. The passers-by are quoting a title that others previously gave to Jerusalem. If your language does not allow quotations within quotations, you could express the inner quotation as indirect speech as in the UST.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
כְּלִ֣ילַת יֹ֔פִי מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ
(Some words not found in UHB: clap on,you hands all/each/any/every pass_along_of way hiss and,they_have_shaken head_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in daughter_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [is],this? the=city which,people_said perfection_of beauty joy to/from=all/each/any/every the=earth/land )
The expressions the perfection of beauty and the joy of all the earth are paired to express the former glory of Jerusalem. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express this with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the pride and joy of all the earth]

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.
