Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
אינם
and,they_[are]
The writer is referring to death in a polite way by using the phrase they are no more. Depending on what is helpful for your readers, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [they have died]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אנחנו עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶ֥ם סָבָֽלְנוּ
אנחנו iniquities_of,their bear
The pronoun we refers to the current generation of the people of Jerusalem, in contrast with their fathers who sinned and died. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and we, the current generation, bear their iniquities]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אנחנו עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶ֥ם סָבָֽלְנוּ
אנחנו iniquities_of,their bear
The writer is speaking as if the consequences of sin were a physical burden that people bear. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and we, we suffer the consequences of what they did wrong]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
