וְעַתָּ֕ה כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְכֶ֖ם עַל־דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם
and=now thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels make_careful! thought_of,you_all on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ways,your_all's
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “So now Yahweh of Armies is telling you to set your heart upon your ways”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְכֶ֖ם עַל־דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם
make_careful! thought_of,you_all on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ways,your_all's
Here, the heart figuratively represents the thoughts. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Focus your thoughts on your ways” or “Consider your ways carefully”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
לְבַבְכֶ֖ם
thought_of,you_all
Since Yahweh is speaking to many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: “your hearts”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם
ways,your_all's
Yahweh is speaking of how the returned exiles have been living as if that were a series of ways or paths that they were walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how you have been living”
1:5 Look at what’s happening to you (literally Set your heart on these matters): For the Hebrews, the heart is the place where thinking, feeling, and willing all occur. So this command (also 1:7; 2:15, 18) calls upon the people to think carefully and draw the proper conclusions about the connection between what’s happening to them (drought and poverty, 1:6) and their failure to restore proper worship of the Lord (1:8-9).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
