OET (OET-LV) And the rest of_the people, who not were_killed_off by the plagues these, not_even they_repented of the works of_the hands of_them, in_order_that not they_will_be_prostrating before_the demons, and the idols the golden, and the silver, and the bronze, and the stone, and the wooden, which neither to_be_seeing are_being_able, nor to_be_hearing, nor to_be_walking.
OET (OET-RV) However, the rest of humankind that hadn’t been killed by those plagues, didn’t repent of their actions and didn’t stop worshipping demons and idols made of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood—idols that can’t see, can’t hear, and can’t walk.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οἳ οὐκ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν ταῖς πληγαῖς ταύταις
who not /were/_killed_off by ¬the plagues these
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 ones whom these plagues did not kill]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐκ τῶν ἔργων τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν
of the works ˱of˲_the hands ˱of˲_them
John is using one part of these people, their hands, to represent all of each person in the act of doing works. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of the works they were doing]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἃ οὔτε βλέπειν δύνανται, οὔτε ἀκούειν, οὔτε περιπατεῖν
which neither /to_be/_seeing /are/_being_able nor /to_be/_hearing nor /to_be/_walking
The terms see and hear and walk all describe things that living beings are able to do. John is using the three terms together to emphasize that idols are not alive and cannot do anything for those who worship them. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [which are not alive at all]
9:1-21 The fifth and sixth trumpets demonstrate how God’s judgment affects the people of the world and detail how futile it is to resist God. While these judgments should lead to repentance, they do not. Sin has such control over people that they choose to worship the evil forces that torture and murder them rather than repent and turn to God.

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.
