Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

מַדּ֗וּעַ בֹּשֵׁ֤שׁ רִכְבּ⁠וֹ֙ לָ⁠ב֔וֹא מַדּ֣וּעַ אֶֽחֱר֔וּ פַּעֲמֵ֖י מַרְכְּבוֹתָֽי⁠ו

why (Some words not found in UHB: behind the,window peered and,she_lamented mother_of Şīşərāʼ behind the,window-lattice why long chariot_of,his to,come why tarry hoofbeats_of his_chariots_of,his )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [She asked why his chariot had delayed to come and why the hoofbeats of his chariots were tarrying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מַדּ֗וּעַ בֹּשֵׁ֤שׁ רִכְבּ⁠וֹ֙ לָ⁠ב֔וֹא מַדּ֣וּעַ אֶֽחֱר֔וּ פַּעֲמֵ֖י מַרְכְּבוֹתָֽי⁠ו

why (Some words not found in UHB: behind the,window peered and,she_lamented mother_of Şīşərāʼ behind the,window-lattice why long chariot_of,his to,come why tarry hoofbeats_of his_chariots_of,his )

Sisera’s mother is using his chariot and these hoofbeats by association to mean Sisera himself. Alternate translation: [Why has he delayed to come back in his chariot? Why do I not hear the sound of the hoofbeats of his chariot horses indicating his arrival?]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מַדּ֗וּעַ בֹּשֵׁ֤שׁ רִכְבּ⁠וֹ֙ לָ⁠ב֔וֹא מַדּ֣וּעַ אֶֽחֱר֔וּ פַּעֲמֵ֖י מַרְכְּבוֹתָֽי⁠ו

why (Some words not found in UHB: behind the,window peered and,she_lamented mother_of Şīşərāʼ behind the,window-lattice why long chariot_of,his to,come why tarry hoofbeats_of his_chariots_of,his )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [Why is it taking so long for him to come back with his chariots?]

מַדּ֣וּעַ אֶֽחֱר֔וּ פַּעֲמֵ֖י מַרְכְּבוֹתָֽי⁠ו
