The father is repeating the verb say and hate in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “I said to myself ... you truly hated her”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹ֨א אֲחוֹתָ֤הּ הַקְּטַנָּה֙ טוֹבָ֣ה מִמֶּ֔נָּה

The father is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Her younger sister is certainly better than she is!”
15:2 The father may have thought that his daughter had been abandoned (see study note on 14:20). The father’s offer of the younger sister might have been an attempt to remedy his own treachery.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
