If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “Has not Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded you to go and draw out at Mount Tabor and to take with you 10,000 men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun?”

?,not commanded YHWH god Yisrael go and,march in/on/at/with,mount Tāⱱōr and,take with,you ten thousand (a)_man from=(the)_sons Naftālī and,from,tribe Zəⱱulun

Deborah 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: “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has commanded, ‘Go and draw out at Mount Tabor, and take with you 10,000 men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.’”

Note 4 topic: writing-poetry

וּ⁠מָֽשַׁכְתָּ֙

and,march

For elegance of expression and to emphasize the certainty of what he is saying, in this verse and the next one Yahweh uses the same verb in two different senses. Here, draw out means to recruit men for an army. In the next verse, it refers to how Yahweh will lure Sisera unsuspectingly into a situation where he and his army will be destroyed. Your language may have a verb that can be used in both of these senses. But if trying to use the same word in both places would be unclear, you could express the meaning. Alternate translation: “and recruit”

Note 5 topic: translate-numbers

עֲשֶׂ֤רֶת אֲלָפִים֙ אִ֔ישׁ

ten thousand (a)_man

Here, 10,000 may be an approximate number or a customary way of saying “very many.” Alternate translation: “a large army of men”
