OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_went the_rider_of the_horse to_meet_him and_he/it_said thus he_says the_king peace and_ Yēhūʼ _he/it_said what is_to_you and_to_peace go_around to after_me and_he_reported the_watchman to_say he_came the_messenger to they and_not he_has_turned_back.
OET (OET-RV) So the horse and chariot went out to meet them and called out, “The king wants to know if you’re all coming in peace?”
¶ But Yehu answered, “What’s that got to do with you? Turn around and follow us.”
¶ Meanwhile the watchman announced, “The messenger has met them, but he isn’t returning.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went rider_of of,the_horse to,meet,him and=he/it_said thus he/it_had_said the=king ?,peace and=he/it_said Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) what? [is]_to,you and,to,peace turn to/near after,me and,he_reported the,watchman to=say he/it_came the,messenger until they and=not coming_back )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [The king asks whether you are coming in peace]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מַה־לְּךָ֥ וּלְשָׁל֖וֹם
what? (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went rider_of of,the_horse to,meet,him and=he/it_said thus he/it_had_said the=king ?,peace and=he/it_said Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) what? [is]_to,you and,to,peace turn to/near after,me and,he_reported the,watchman to=say he/it_came the,messenger until they and=not coming_back )
Jehu is using What to you and to peace as a common expression of his culture to mean that whether he is coming in peace has nothing to do with this messenger. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, here and in the next verse, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What business is it of yours whether I am coming in peace] or [Why should I tell you whether I am coming in peace]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מַה־לְּךָ֥ וּלְשָׁל֖וֹם
what? (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went rider_of of,the_horse to,meet,him and=he/it_said thus he/it_had_said the=king ?,peace and=he/it_said Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) what? [is]_to,you and,to,peace turn to/near after,me and,he_reported the,watchman to=say he/it_came the,messenger until they and=not coming_back )
Jehu is using the question form to indicate forcefully that he will not discuss with this messenger whether he is coming in peace. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It is none of your business whether I am coming in peace!] or [I do not need to tell you whether I am coming in peace!]

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.
