which/who say to,seers not see and,to,seers not prophesy to/for=us right

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [who tell the seers not to see, and tell the visionaries not to envision truths for them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truths, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [true things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֲלָק֔וֹת

smooth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of flatteries, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [flattering words]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

דַּבְּרוּ לָ֣⁠נוּ חֲלָק֔וֹת חֲז֖וּ מַהֲתַלּֽוֹת

speak to/for=us smooth prophesy illusions

The people are openly requesting from the prophets the opposite of what they should want. They are asking for flatteries and deceptions rather than truth. If a speaker of your language would not express this request in this way, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Tell us pleasant things; see visions of lies]

מַהֲתַלּֽוֹת

illusions

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deceptions, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [deceitful things]
