OET (OET-LV) And many were_gathered_together so_that no_longer to_be_having_room, not even which at the door, and he_was_speaking the message to_them.
OET (OET-RV) And so many people turned up there that there wasn’t any room left—not even in the doorway. Inside, Yeshua was explaining the Scriptures to them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πολλοὶ
many
Mark is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [many men and women]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
συνήχθησαν
/were/_gathered_together
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [gathered] or [came together]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
μηκέτι χωρεῖν
no_longer /to_be/_having_room
Here, the clause it could no longer receive means that the house was so full that no one else could fit inside. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [there was no space left] or [no one else could fit]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν
not_‹even› ¬which at the door
Here Mark means that there were so many people even outside the house that no one could get near the door. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [and no one could even get to the door] or [and there was no space even at the door into the house]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Mark is using the term word to mean the gospel, that Jesus preached using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the gospel]
2:1-12 This controversy story is also a miracle story, which links it to the previous collection (1:21-45).

OET (OET-RV) And so many people turned up there that there wasn’t any room left—not even in the doorway. Inside, Yeshua was explaining the Scriptures to them.
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.
