If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [tell him that reviving, he will revive]

חָיֹ֣ה תִחְיֶ֑ה & מ֥וֹת יָמֽוּת
to_recover you_will_recover & to_die he_will_die
Elisha is repeating forms of the verbs revive and die in order to intensify his expression of the ideas that they convey. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [He will certainly recover … he will certainly die]

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.
