OET (OET-LV) And_she_came to the_man_of the_ʼElohīm to the_mountain and_she_took_hold on_feet_of_his and_ Gēyḩₐzī _he_drew_near to_drive_her_away and_ the_man_of _he/it_said the_ʼElohīm refrain to/for_her/it if/because self_of_her it_is_bitter to/for_her/it and_YHWH he_has_hidden from_me and_not he_has_told to_me.
OET (OET-RV) Then she got to the mountain and to the man of God, and she knelt and grabbed his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her because she’s upset, but Yahweh has hidden the problem from me—he hasn’t informed me.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_came to/towards (a)_man the=ʼElohīm to/towards the,mountain and,she_took_hold on,feet_of,his and,he_drew_near Gēyḩₐzī to,drive,her_away and=he/it_said (a)_man the=ʼElohīm let_~_alone to/for=her/it that/for/because/then/when self_of,her in_bitter_distress to/for=her/it and=YHWH hidden from,me and=not he/it_told to=me )
Grasping Elisha’s feet was a symbolic action by which the woman showed her desperation and humility as she appealed to him for help. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and she humbly begged him for help by holding onto his feet]

הַרְפֵּֽה־לָהּ֙ כִּֽי־נַפְשָׁ֣הּ מָֽרָה־לָ֔הּ וַֽיהוָה֙ הֶעְלִ֣ים מִמֶּ֔נִּי וְלֹ֥א הִגִּ֖יד לִֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_came to/towards (a)_man the=ʼElohīm to/towards the,mountain and,she_took_hold on,feet_of,his and,he_drew_near Gēyḩₐzī to,drive,her_away and=he/it_said (a)_man the=ʼElohīm let_~_alone to/for=her/it that/for/because/then/when self_of,her in_bitter_distress to/for=her/it and=YHWH hidden from,me and=not he/it_told to=me )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Her soul is bitter to her, but Yahweh has hidden the reason from me, and he has not declared it to me, so leave her alone]

וַֽיהוָה֙ הֶעְלִ֣ים מִמֶּ֔נִּי וְלֹ֥א הִגִּ֖יד לִֽי
and=YHWH hidden (Some words not found in UHB: and,she_came to/towards (a)_man the=ʼElohīm to/towards the,mountain and,she_took_hold on,feet_of,his and,he_drew_near Gēyḩₐzī to,drive,her_away and=he/it_said (a)_man the=ʼElohīm let_~_alone to/for=her/it that/for/because/then/when self_of,her in_bitter_distress to/for=her/it and=YHWH hidden from,me and=not he/it_told to=me )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [but Yahweh has not revealed anything about it to me]
OET (OET-LV) And_she_came to the_man_of the_ʼElohīm to the_mountain and_she_took_hold on_feet_of_his and_ Gēyḩₐzī _he_drew_near to_drive_her_away and_ the_man_of _he/it_said the_ʼElohīm refrain to/for_her/it if/because self_of_her it_is_bitter to/for_her/it and_YHWH he_has_hidden from_me and_not he_has_told to_me.
OET (OET-RV) Then she got to the mountain and to the man of God, and she knelt and grabbed his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her because she’s upset, but Yahweh has hidden the problem from me—he hasn’t informed me.”
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.
