וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אֵצֵא֙ וְהָיִ֨יתִי֙ ר֣וּחַ שֶׁ֔קֶר בְּפִ֖י כָּל־נְבִיאָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר תְּפַתֶּה֙ וְגַם־תּוּכָ֔ל צֵ֖א וַעֲשֵׂה־כֵֽן
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said go_out and=I_will_be spirit_of lying in,the_mouth_of all/each/any/every prophets_of,his and=he/it_said entice and=also succeed go and,do so )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there are not quotations within quotations. Alternate translation: [And the spirit said that he would go out and be a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all of Ahab’s prophets. And Yahweh told him that he would be able to deceive Ahab, so he should go out and do what he had suggested]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of falsehood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a lying spirit]

בְּפִ֖י כָּל־נְבִיאָ֑יו
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said go_out and=I_will_be spirit_of lying in,the_mouth_of all/each/any/every prophets_of,his and=he/it_said entice and=also succeed go and,do so )
Here, mouth represents what the prophets would say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to influence what all of his prophets say]

תְּפַתֶּה֙ וְגַם־תּוּכָ֔ל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said go_out and=I_will_be spirit_of lying in,the_mouth_of all/each/any/every prophets_of,his and=he/it_said entice and=also succeed go and,do so )
The verbs deceive and be able express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [You will be able to deceive him]
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said I_will_go_out and_I_will_be a_spirit_of falsehood in_the_mouth_of all_of prophets_of_his and_he/it_said you_will_deceive and_also you_will_prevail go_out and_do thus.
OET (OET-RV) He replied that he’d go and be a false spirit so the kings prophets would tell lies, and Yahweh said that that would work and told him to go ahead and do it.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
