OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to/for_her/it ʼElqānāh her/its_husband/man Oh_Ḩannāh to/for_what_(why) are_you_weeping and_to/for_what_(why) not are_you_eating and_to/for_what_(why) is_it_sad your(fs)_heart am_not [am]_I good to/for_you(fs) from_ten sons.
OET (OET-RV) Then Elkanah would ask her, “Hannah, why are you crying? And why aren’t you eating? And why are you so upset? Isn’t it better having me than having ten sons?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart bad? {Am} I not better for you than ten sons?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=her/it ʼElqānāh her/its=husband/man Ḩannāh to/for=what_(why) you(fs)_weep and=to/for=what_(why) not eat and=to/for=what_(why) is_sad your(fs)=heart am=not I good to/for=you(fs) from=ten sons )
Elkanah is using the question form for emphasis. 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: “Hannah, you should not weep. You should eat. Your heart should not be bad. I am better for you than ten sons!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
And why is your heart bad
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=her/it ʼElqānāh her/its=husband/man Ḩannāh to/for=what_(why) you(fs)_weep and=to/for=what_(why) not eat and=to/for=what_(why) is_sad your(fs)=heart am=not I good to/for=you(fs) from=ten sons )
Elkanah is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Hannah feeling badly. He does not mean that she is entertaining any wrong thoughts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And why are you feeling badly”

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.
