/was/_struck the third ˱of˲_the sun and the third ˱of˲_the moon and the third ˱of˲_the stars
John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck]

/was/_struck the third ˱of˲_the sun and the third ˱of˲_the moon and the third ˱of˲_the stars in_order_that /may_be/_darkened the third ˱of˲_them
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God struck a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars so that a third of them turned dark]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σκοτισθῇ τὸ τρίτον αὐτῶν
/may_be/_darkened the third ˱of˲_them
The phrase a third of them were darkened could mean: (1) one third of the time, the sun, moon, and stars were dark, or (2) one third of the sun, one third of the moon, and one third of the stars became dark. You could say either of these things as an alternate translation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ ἡμέρα μὴ φάνῃ τὸ τρίτον αὐτῆς
the day not /may/_appear ˱for˲_the third ˱of˲_it
When John says of a third of the day that it did not shine, he means by association that the sun did not shine during a third of the day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the sun did not shine during one third of the day]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ἡ νὺξ ὁμοίως

John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and likewise a third of the night did not shine] or [and likewise the moon and the stars did not shine during one third of the night]
