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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִ֤י גַם בָּכֶם֙ וְיִסְגֹּ֣ר דְּלָתַ֔יִם וְלֹֽא תָאִ֥ירוּ מִזְבְּחִ֖י חִנָּ֑ם
who? also/even in/on/at/with,you_all and,shut doors and=not kindle_fire altar,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,hands,your_all's
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,hands,your_all's
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”
