כֹּ֣ה אָמְר֞וּ כֹּ֣ל עֲדַ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה מָֽה הַ⁠מַּ֤עַל הַ⁠זֶּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר מְעַלְתֶּם֙

thus says all congregation YHWH what the,treachery the=this which/who committed

See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of the long quotation within a quotation in verses 16–20. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It should be sufficient just to change this introduction in order to make all of these verses a first-level direct quotation. Alternate translation: “All of the congregation of Yahweh wants to know what this unfaithfulness is that you have done”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מָֽה הַ⁠מַּ֤עַל הַ⁠זֶּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר מְעַלְתֶּם֙ בֵּ⁠אלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לָ⁠שׁ֣וּב הַ⁠יּ֔וֹם מֵ⁠אַחֲרֵ֖י יְהוָ֑ה לָ⁠כֶם֙ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ לִ⁠מְרָדְ⁠כֶ֥ם הַ⁠יּ֖וֹם בַּ⁠יהוָֽה

what the,treachery the=this which/who committed in/on/at/with,God Yisrael by,turning_away the=day from,following YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: thus says all congregation YHWH what the,treachery the=this which/who committed in/on/at/with,God Yisrael by,turning_away the=day from,following YHWH in/on/at/with,building,yourselves to/for=you_all altar to,rebel,you_all the=day in/on/at/with,Lord )

The representatives of the western tribes are 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: “You have unfaithfully done unfaithfulness against the God of Israel by turning away from Yahweh and building an altar for yourselves in rebellion against him!”

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

מָֽה הַ⁠מַּ֤עַל הַ⁠זֶּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר מְעַלְתֶּם֙

what the,treachery the=this which/who committed

For emphasis, the western representatives are using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “What is this great unfaithfulness that you have done”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לָ⁠שׁ֣וּב הַ⁠יּ֔וֹם מֵ⁠אַחֲרֵ֖י יְהוָ֑ה

by,turning_away the=day from,following YHWH

The western representatives are speaking as if following Yahweh were like walking behind him on a path. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to stop being loyal to Yahweh”
