כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר חִזְקִיָּ֔הוּ יוֹם־צָרָ֧ה וְתוֹכֵחָ֛ה וּנְאָצָ֖ה הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּ֣י בָ֤אוּ בָנִים֙ עַד־מַשְׁבֵּ֔ר וְכֹ֥חַ אַ֖יִן לְלֵדָֽה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said Ḩizqiyyāh day distress and,rebuke and,insult the=day the=this that/for/because/then/when come children until birth and,strength not for,giving_birth )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Hezekiah says that this day is a day of trouble and chastisement and reproach, for sons have come to the birth canal, but there is no strength to give birth]

Hezekiah is using or inventing a proverb in order to illustrate that the Judeans are in a life-and-death situation, but they do not have the resources to rescue themselves from it. Translate this proverb in a way that will be recognized as a proverb and be meaningful in your language and culture.

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.
