OET interlinear ZEC 7:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

הַֽ⁠אֶבְכֶּה֙ & כַּ⁠מֶּ֥ה

will,I_weep? & how,many?

The pronoun I refers to the people of Bethel collectively, speaking through their envoys. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Should we mourn in the fifth month by means of a fast, as we have done these many years]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בֵית יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת

[belonged]_to,the_house_of YHWH armies/messengers

Here Zechariah is speaking of the temple as if it were a house in which Yahweh lived. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at the temple where Yahweh of hosts lives]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֵ⁠אמֹ֗ר אֶל הַ⁠כֹּֽהֲנִים֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ לְ⁠בֵית יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת וְ⁠אֶל הַ⁠נְּבִיאִ֖ים לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר הַֽ⁠אֶבְכֶּה֙ הַ⁠חֲמִשִׁ֔י בַּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הִנָּזֵ֕ר כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֔יתִי זֶ֖ה כַּ⁠מֶּ֥ה שָׁנִֽים

to=say to/towards the,priests which/who [belonged]_to,the_house_of YHWH armies/messengers and=near/to the,prophets to=say will,I_weep? (Some words not found in UHB: to=say to/towards the,priests which/who [belonged]_to,the_house_of YHWH armies/messengers and=near/to the,prophets to=say will,I_weep? in,month (the),fifth fast just=as done this how,many? years )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [They asked the priests who were at the house of Yahweh of hosts and the prophets whether they should mourn in the fifth month by means of a fast, as they had done for many years]
