(Some words not found in UHB: multiply sorrows,those next/another run_after not pour_out drink_offerings,their of,blood and,not take DOM names,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips,my )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The troubles of those who seek other gods will increase”

pour out & blood to their gods

Alternate translation: “pour out blood as a sacrifice to their gods”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

or lift up their names with my lips

Lifting up their names is a metaphor for praising them, and “lips” is a metonym for what one says. Alternate translation: “or praise them with my words” or “and I will not praise their gods” (See also: figs-metonymy)
