Your translation step is running out of memory. You can pass the -Xmx flag to give the jvm more memory to complete the task. For example, to give 2G you could pass the -Xmx2G flag to the translation step. You might also want to ensure you're running in 64bit mode (if your OS and HW support it) by passing the -64 flag.

Ultimately, this (and more) is described in detail in the HP_Fortify_SCA_User_Guide_3.xx.pdf that ships with your product.
