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: “Since I am a father, you should honor me. And since I am a master, you should fear me.”

שְׁמִ֔י & אֶת שְׁמֶֽךָ
name,my & DOM name,your
Yahweh is using the word name by association to mean his reputation and authority. Alternate translation: “my reputation … your reputation” or “my authority … your authority”
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.
