OET (OET-RV) “A son honours his father, and a servant honours his master, so if I’m a father, where is my honour? If I am a master, where is my respect?” says army-commander Yahweh to all you priests who despise my name.
¶ “But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
Yahweh rebukes the priests using an imaginary conversation in which the priests protest that they are doing right and Yahweh tells them what they are doing wrong.

בַּמֶּ֥ה בָזִ֖ינוּ אֶת־שְׁמֶֽךָ
in/on/at/with,how? despised DOM name,your
Here the priests are asking a question in order to state that they have not really despised Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “We have not really despised your name.” or “Tell us how we have despised your name, because we do not think that we have done so.”
1:6–2:9 Malachi’s second message affirms the Lord’s role as God and Father of Israel; he alone deserves true worship. The first part (1:6-14) shows how the Israelites had dishonored God in spite of his fatherly care and masterly power. The second part (2:1-9) warns the priests of Judah against sacrificing sick and defective animals and faults them for not teaching God’s instructions (2:6-8).
1:6 shown contempt for my name: God’s name is his reputation or character (cp. Ezek 36:19-24). The Judeans were showing how little they thought of God by giving him worthless offerings.
