and,say thus to_THE,life and=you(ms) peace and,house_of,your peace and=all/each/any/every which/who to/for=yourself(m) peace

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And you shall tell him that I wish him a good life and that peace may be to him and to his house and to all that is to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

לֶ⁠חָ֑י

to_THE,life

וְ⁠אַתָּ֤ה שָׁלוֹם֙ וּ⁠בֵיתְ⁠ךָ֣ שָׁל֔וֹם וְ⁠כֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־לְ⁠ךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם

and=you(ms) peace and,house_of,your peace and=all/each/any/every which/who to/for=yourself(m) peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [And may all go well with you and with your house and with all that is to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
