OET (OET-RV) A sharp sword comes out of his mouth so he can strike the nations and he’ll rule them with an iron scepter. He’ll destroy his enemies like trampling grapes in a winepress, with the resultant juice representing the anger of the all-powerful God’s fury.

Note 1 topic: writing-symlanguage
ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται ῥομφαία ὀξεῖα
out_of the mouth ˱of˲_him /is/_going_out /a/_sword sharp
Be sure it is clear in your translation, here and for the similar expression in verse 21, that this means that the blade of the sword was sticking out of his mouth. The sword itself was not in motion. See how you translated the similar phrase in 1:16.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ
with with /a/_rod iron
See how you translated the similar phrase in 2:27 and 12:5. Alternate translation: [with great strength] or [with irresistible power]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
αὐτὸς πατεῖ τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ οἴνου
he he /is/_treading the winepress ˱of˲_the wine
John is referring to the grapes in the winepress by association with the winepress itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he tramples the grapes in the winepress to make the wine]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς
the ˱of˲_the ˱of˲_the rage ˱of˲_the wrath
The terms wrath and fury mean similar things. John is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [of the great wrath]
