Malachi is describing the people of Israel by association with their ancestor Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: “May Yahweh cut off from the tents of the people of Israel”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יַכְרֵ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה
cut_off YHWH
The expression cut off is one that people of this culture would commonly use to mean to "remove." If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “May Yahweh remove”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מֵאָהֳלֵ֖י יַֽעֲקֹ֑ב
from,tents Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob)
Malachi is using the word tents by association to mean the community of Israel. Alternate translation: “from the community of Israel”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
לָאִ֨ישׁ
as_for_the,man
Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “anyone”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
עֵ֣ר וְעֹנֶ֔ה
awake and,answers
Malachi is speaking of two extremes in order to include them and everything in between. He is alluding to a watchman guarding a city at night (the one being awake) and someone approaching the city who is responding to the challenge, “Who is there?” (the one answering). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “no matter who he is”
2:12 cut off: The intent was to blot out or destroy evildoers, in contrast to social banishment or religious excommunication.
