¿Qué te duele?
This means, literally "What hurts you?"
Que=What
te=you
duele=hurts
The te is reflexive, so in very strict translation it is: "What to you hurts you?"

Most of the answers that you have received are accurate. What hurts you? would be a literal translation if this is a question. (By the way, if it is a question "que" should have an accent (qué?) The question can also be a colloquial way of saying: What's the matter? or more formally What ails you?

literally or well translated hurt means lastimar and pain means dolor ( duele ) so the correct translation would be What pains you? but since in English it is not commonly said that way it would be better said What is causing you pain? or to feel pain?

Simply "what hurts you?"
que means what
te means you
duele is doler in the you form which means to hurt
And it is used, let's say, when a doctor is examining you and asks, "Que te duele," to see what is bothering you.
OK. That's all.

As a phrase itself it literally translates as, "...that hurts you", referring to something that's hurting you. Makes more sense as a question, "¿Qué te duele?"="What's hurting you?"

"that hurts you"
For example: "Do you have an injury that hurts you?
"¿Qué te duele?" -- "What hurts you?"
Note the accents and punctuation on the second version...

Literal: What pains you?
Not as literal: Where can mommy kiss it to make it feel better?

It's similar to "that it hurts you"
If it's a question it would make more sense. "What hurts you?"
