OET (OET-LV) Who also is_among_you(pl) and_he_will_shut the_doors and_not you(pl)_will_set_light_to altar_of_my in_vain there_is_not to_me pleasure in_you(pl) YHWH he_says hosts and_an_offering not I_will_accept from_hand_of_your(pl).

OET (OET-RV) “Yeah, if only there was one person among you who would shut the temple gates so that you all couldn’t just continue to light worthless fires on my altar. I get no pleasure from you all,” says army-commander Yahweh, “and I won’t accept any offering that you all bring me.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:6–2:9: The LORD rebuked the priests

Paragraph 1:6–14

In this paragraph the LORD rebuked the priests because they were bringing imperfect animals to sacrifice to him. By doing this they showed that they did not respect or honor him.

This part of the speech was addressed most strongly to the priests. However Malachi 1:13–14 shows that the people were included too.

1:10c

I take no pleasure in you,”

1:10

All versions are agreed that it is the LORD who was speaking again here.

1:10a

“Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,

Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors: In 1:10a–b, the LORD was saying that it would be better to shut the temple doors altogether and offer no sacrifices at all, rather than to continue bringing damaged and unacceptable sacrifices (1:7–8).

It is clear from the context (1:6) that the LORD would have preferred the priests to honor him by bringing proper sacrifices.

Consider how to express this idea in the best way in your language. One way to express this in English would be to say,

It would be better if one of you would just shut the temple doors.

one of you: The pronoun you refers to the priests.

shut the temple doors: This refers to the double doors at the entrance to the part of the temple where the priests offered sacrifices. In other words, the LORD did not want the priests to make any more sacrifices of the kind he had described. If the doors were shut, then the priests could no longer go in and offer those sacrifices.

In some languages it may be necessary to make this explicit in the text or use a footnote to explain it.

1:10b

so that you would no longer kindle useless fires on My altar!

so that you would no longer kindle useless fires on My altar: When the priests sacrificed an animal, they killed it and then burnt it on the altar. So if the priests could not light a fire, they would not be able to offer the sacrifices.

useless: The fire and the sacrifices were useless because the LORD would not accept them. Other ways to translate this are “worthless,” “pointless.”

1:10d

says the LORD of Hosts,

says the LORD of Hosts: See the note on 1:6e.

the LORD of Hosts: See the note on 1:4d and 1:6e. Translate this term the same way here.

1:10e

“and I will accept no offering from your hands.

from your hands: The Hebrew expression which the BSB translates as from your hands means “from you.” The same Hebrew expression was used in 1:9b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֤י גַם־בָּ⁠כֶם֙ וְ⁠יִסְגֹּ֣ר דְּלָתַ֔יִם וְ⁠לֹֽא־תָאִ֥ירוּ מִזְבְּחִ֖⁠י חִנָּ֑ם

who? also/even [is]_among,you(pl) and,he_will_shut doors and=not kindle_fire altar_of,my in_vain

Yahweh is 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: [I wish one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not kindle useless fires on my altar!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

דְּלָתַ֔יִם

doors

Yahweh assumes that his listeners will know that by the doors he means the doors of the temple. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the doors of the temple]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֶרְצֶ֥ה מִ⁠יֶּדְ⁠כֶֽם

accept from,hand_of,your(pl)

Since Yahweh is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of hand. Alternate translation: [offerings from your hands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠יֶּדְ⁠כֶֽם

from,hand_of,your(pl)

Yahweh is using one part of the priests‘ bodies, the hand, to mean all of themselves in the act of offering sacrifices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that you give]
