There are three levels of quotation here. The author is quoting what Yahweh said (level 1). Yahweh is quoting what he wants Isaiah to say to Hezekiah. (level 2). This includes a quotation from Yahweh himself. (level 3). Use the appropriate punctuation in your language to mark these levels of quotation, in this verse and at the end of the next verse. Alternatively, you could translate this so that there are not second-level or third-level quotations.

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, that I, Yahweh, the God of David his father, have heard his prayer and have seen his weeping. I am going to heal him. On the third day, he will go up to my temple]
