Thus says all of the congregation of Yahweh: ‘What is this unfaithfulness that you have done

(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 )

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

What is this unfaithfulness that you have done unfaithfully against the God of Israel, to turn today from after Yahweh in your building for yourselves an altar today for your rebelling against Yahweh?

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

What is this unfaithfulness that you have done unfaithfully

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

to turn today from after Yahweh

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”
