You can upload your pic to an image hosting site like imigur and others, and post the link here or insert that into your post using the little picture icon as described
or in this forum (using full site, not mobile version) hit the "go advanced" button on the reply text box....... then on the next page scroll down below the reply text box to find the area that says

with the button that says "manage attachments"
That's some aftermarket finagling. I have no idea why there's a random relay laying around. Are there any aftermarket modules or anything? otherwise, logic tells me that all you need to connect are these 2 wires, simply based on location and wire colors.
Edit: Then again, the wire with the yellow t-tap and blue spade connector are the same color, as well. Closer to same AWG, too. I rescind the advice from the picture. I'm going with the black/white wire with the yellow t-tapped wire coming off it and the wire with the bottom arrow in my picture.

Match up the wire colors exactly, black/white to black/white.....black/yellow to black/yellow, etc.....
you'll have to get creative and splice them back together so it makes a damn reliable connection that can handle a lot of amperage.....and sufficiently insulated so it doesn't cause a short or start a fire.
Assuming the terminals needing connected are all female: You might be able to find some 'male to male, quarter inch spade terminals' similar to one of these:
The relay was intended to be a starter kill or ignition kill, either way it was intended to disable the car.....it could have been part of an anti theft or car alarm, or maybe a buy-here-pay-here revenue assurance device (payment prompter).
