OET interlinear MAL 1:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וְ⁠אָר֣וּר נוֹכֵ֗ל וְ⁠יֵ֤שׁ בְּ⁠עֶדְר⁠וֹ֙ זָכָ֔ר וְ⁠נֹדֵ֛ר וְ⁠זֹבֵ֥חַ מָשְׁחָ֖ת לַֽ⁠אדֹנָ֑⁠י

and_[be],cursed cheat and,there_[is] among,his_of,flock male and,[one_who]_makes_a_vow and,[one_who]_sacrifices blemished to,[the]_of,Lord

Yahweh is describing one event before describing another event that would precede it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they would happen. Alternate translation: [But if someone has a male in his flock and he vows it, but he sacrifices the blemished to the Lord, then that deceiver will be cursed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠אָר֣וּר

and_[be],cursed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [But I will curse]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יֵ֤שׁ בְּ⁠עֶדְר⁠וֹ֙ זָכָ֔ר

and,there_[is] among,his_of,flock male

Yahweh assumes that his listeners will know that by a male, he means a healthy, unblemished male animal. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [if a healthy, unblemished male is in his flock]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מָשְׁחָ֖ת

blemished

Yahweh is not referring to a specific blemished animal. He means blemished animals in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [blemished animals]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לַֽ⁠אדֹנָ֑⁠י & אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת

to,[the]_of,Lord & he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers

Yahweh is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these in the first person. Alternate translation: [to me … says, I, Yahweh of Armies]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י נוֹרָ֥א בַ⁠גּוֹיִֽם

and,my_of,name feared among,nations

Yahweh is using one part of himself, his name, to mean all of him in the act of being feared. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I am feared among the nations because of my reputation]
