OET (OET-LV) And_ Yəhōʼāsh _sent the_king_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to ʼAmaʦyāh the_king_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) to_say the_thistle which in/on/at/with_Ləⱱānōn it_sent to the_cedar which in/on/at/with_Ləⱱānōn to_say give DOM daughter_of_your to_son_of_my to/for_(a)_woman and_ the_animal_of _passed_by the_field which in/on/at/with_Ləⱱānōn and_trampled DOM the_thistle.
OET (OET-RV) But King Yehoash replied to Yehudah’s King Amatsyah, “The thistle that was in the Lebanon forest sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ But a wild animal that was in the Lebanon passed by and it trampled the thistle.

(Occurrence 0) A thistle that was in Lebanon … trampled down the thistle
(Some words not found in UHB: and,sent Yəhōʼāsh/(Jehoash) king Yisrael to/towards ʼAmaʦyāh king Yehuda to=say the,thistle which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon Shalah to/towards the,cedar which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon to=say give, DOM daughter_of,your to,son_of,my to/for=(a)_woman and,passed_by being/animal the=field which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon and,trampled DOM the,thistle )
This is a word picture and a riddle. A cedar tree is great and a thistle is small and worthless. Jehoash compares himself to the cedar and Amaziah to the thistle and warns Amaziah not to attack. If you have a similar comparison in your own language, you can use it.
(Occurrence 0) thistle

(Occurrence 0) saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’
(Some words not found in UHB: and,sent Yəhōʼāsh/(Jehoash) king Yisrael to/towards ʼAmaʦyāh king Yehuda to=say the,thistle which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon Shalah to/towards the,cedar which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon to=say give, DOM daughter_of,your to,son_of,my to/for=(a)_woman and,passed_by being/animal the=field which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon and,trampled DOM the,thistle )
This direct quotation can be stated as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “asking the cedar to give his daughter to the thistle’s son for a wife”
14:9-10 Jehoash’s reply came as a parable (see Judg 9:7-15). In essence, Amaziah had as much of a chance of defeating Israel in war as a thistle trying to make demands against a mighty cedar tree. Amaziah and Judah would be defeated as easily as a random step would crush the proud thistle.
