uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אֵ֣שֶׁת יָרָבְעָ֡ם בָּאָ֣ה לִ⁠דְרֹשׁ֩ דָּבָ֨ר מֵ⁠עִמְּ⁠ךָ֤ אֶל־בְּנָ⁠הּ֙ כִּֽי־חֹלֶ֣ה ה֔וּא

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_had_said to/towards ʼAḩiy^yāh see/lo/see! wife_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) coming to,seek message from,with,you to/towards son_of,her that/for/because/then/when sick he/it like,this and,like,this say to=her/it and=let_it_be just,as,she_comes and=she pretended_to_be_another_woman )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since the son of the wife of Jeroboam is sick, she is coming to seek a word from you about him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠דְרֹשׁ֩ דָּבָ֨ר מֵ⁠עִמְּ⁠ךָ֤

to,seek (Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_had_said to/towards ʼAḩiy^yāh see/lo/see! wife_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) coming to,seek message from,with,you to/towards son_of,her that/for/because/then/when sick he/it like,this and,like,this say to=her/it and=let_it_be just,as,she_comes and=she pretended_to_be_another_woman )

Here, word represents a response from Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to seek an answer from you] or [to ask you a question]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כָּ⁠זֹ֥ה וְ⁠כָ⁠זֶ֖ה תְּדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֶ֑י⁠הָ וִ⁠יהִ֣י כְ⁠בֹאָ֔⁠הּ וְ⁠הִ֖יא מִתְנַכֵּרָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_had_said to/towards ʼAḩiy^yāh see/lo/see! wife_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) coming to,seek message from,with,you to/towards son_of,her that/for/because/then/when sick he/it like,this and,like,this say to=her/it and=let_it_be just,as,she_comes and=she pretended_to_be_another_woman )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about Jeroboam’s wife disguising herself before the information about what Ahijah should say to her. Alternate translation: [And it will happen when she comes that she will be disguising herself. Like this and like this you shall speak to her]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

כָּ⁠זֹ֥ה וְ⁠כָ⁠זֶ֖ה תְּדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֶ֑י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_had_said to/towards ʼAḩiy^yāh see/lo/see! wife_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) coming to,seek message from,with,you to/towards son_of,her that/for/because/then/when sick he/it like,this and,like,this say to=her/it and=let_it_be just,as,she_comes and=she pretended_to_be_another_woman )

Yahweh did not actually say the words Like this and like this. The author is using that expression to summarize what Yahweh told Ahijah to say to Jeroboam’s wife. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. You could stop the direct quotation at the end of the previous sentence and begin it again at the start of the next sentence. If you have already translated the book of 2 Samuel, see what you decided to do in the case of the same expression in 2 Samuel 17:15. Alternate translation: [Yahweh told Ahijah what to say to Jeroboam’s wife. Then he continued,]

כָּ⁠זֹ֥ה וְ⁠כָ⁠זֶ֖ה תְּדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֶ֑י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_had_said to/towards ʼAḩiy^yāh see/lo/see! wife_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) coming to,seek message from,with,you to/towards son_of,her that/for/because/then/when sick he/it like,this and,like,this say to=her/it and=let_it_be just,as,she_comes and=she pretended_to_be_another_woman )

The author is using Like this and like this as a common expression of his culture. If you decide to translate everything Yahweh says here as a direct quotation, your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [You shall speak to her in such-and-such a way]
