Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

לְכִ֞י אִמְרִ֣י לְ⁠יָרָבְעָ֗ם כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יַ֛עַן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲרִימֹתִ֖י⁠ךָ מִ⁠תּ֣וֹךְ הָ⁠עָ֑ם וָ⁠אֶתֶּנְ⁠ךָ֣ נָגִ֔יד עַ֖ל עַמִּ֥⁠י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

go tell to,Jeroboam (Some words not found in UHB: go tell to,Jeroboam thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael because which/who I,raised_you_up from,among_of the,people and,I,made_you leader on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in people_of,my Yisrael )

There are three levels of quotation here. At the start, the author is quoting what Ahijah said to Jeroboam’s wife (level 1), continuing from the previous verse. Ahijah then tells her what he wants her to say to Jeroboam (level 2). Within this message, there is a quotation from Yahweh (level 3). Use the appropriate punctuation in your language to mark these levels of quotation. Alternatively, you could translate this so that there are not second-level or third-level quotations.

See the discussion in the introduction to this chapter of how you can translate Yahweh’s message to Jeroboam’s wife in verses 7–11 in such a way that there will not be quotations within quotations. Here is an example of what you might say in this verse. Alternate translation: [Go and tell Jeroboam that Yahweh, the God of Israel, says that because he raised him up from the midst of the people and made him a leader over his people Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲרִימֹתִ֖י⁠ךָ

I,raised_you_up

Yahweh is speaking as if he had physically raised up Jeroboam, that is, as if he had lifted him up into the air or to an elevated location. In contexts such as this, this expression describes making a person powerful or giving a person a powerful position. See how you represented this image in 11:14. Alternate translation: [I brought you to power]
