If you have decided to translate this oracle so that it does not contain quotations within a quotation, you can translate the second-level quotation in this verse as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “For I, Yahweh of Armies, say that yet once, it will be a little while, and I will be shaking the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ע֥וֹד אַחַ֖ת מְעַ֣ט הִ֑יא וַ⁠אֲנִ֗י מַרְעִישׁ֙

again/more one(fs) in_a_little_while she/it and,I shake

These phrases Yet once and it will be a little whilemay mean similar things. The first phrase may mean “after only one more period of time.” The second phrase says basically the same thing but adds the information that this will be a brief period of time. Yahweh may be using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “I can assure you that after only a short time, I will be shaking”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲנִ֗י מַרְעִישׁ֙

and,I shake

Yahweh is speaking as if he would literally be shaking all of creation. The image is that of a great earthquake. (People in this culture considered the sky to be a solid object above the earth, so Yahweh could shake that as well as the earth with a great quake.) It becomes clear in the next verse that Yahweh is actually using all of creation to represent “all nations” in their relationship to his chosen people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I will bring about such changes in the attitude of the nations toward you that it will be as if I am shaking”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

אֶת־הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם וְ⁠אֶת־הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠יָּ֖ם וְ⁠אֶת־הֶ⁠חָרָבָֽה

DOM the=heavens and=DOM the=earth/land and=DOM the=sea and=DOM the,dry_land

Yahweh is using the two main components of creation, the heavens (the sky) and the earth, to mean all of creation. He is then using the two main components of creation below the sky, the sea and the dry land, to mean the entire world in which humans live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “everything that I have created”
