Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὡς ὄρος μέγα πυρὶ καιόμενον, ἐβλήθη
like /a/_mountain great ˱with˲_fire /being/_burned /was/_cast
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: “the angel threw something like a great mountain burning with fire”
Note 2 topic: translate-fraction
ἐγένετο τὸ τρίτον τῆς θαλάσσης αἷμα
became the third ˱of˲_the sea blood
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the expression one third means one part out of three equal parts. Here and throughout the chapter, translate the expression in the way that would be most natural in your language.
8:7-12 Each of the first four trumpets affects one-third of its target (see Ezek 5:1-4, 12; Zech 13:8). The point is not to convey an exact measurement; instead, it indicates that God’s judgment on the earth is beginning but has not reached its zenith. Together, the first four trumpets form a unified message of judgment on the whole physical world (as with Rev 6:1-8).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
