מַה־לָּ֑ךְ
what? (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=her/it the=king what? [is]_to,you and=she/it_said the=woman (the),this said to=me give_up DOM son_of,your so,that,we_may_eat_him the=day and=DOM son_of,my eat tomorrow )
The king is using What to you as a common expression of his culture to ask the woman what case she wants to bring before him. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What is your case] or [What is the matter]

הָאִשָּׁ֨ה הַזֹּ֜את אָמְרָ֣ה אֵלַ֗י תְּנִ֤י אֶת־בְּנֵךְ֙ וְנֹאכְלֶ֣נּוּ הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת־בְּנִ֖י נֹאכַ֥ל מָחָֽר

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [This woman told me to give up my son so that we could eat him that day, and she said that we would eat her son the next day]

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.
