SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:17–3:5: The LORD revealed that he would come to judge and purify his people

2:17 is a transitional verse. In 2:10–16 Malachi and the LORD listed ways that the priests and people had been unfaithful. In 2:17, the focus becomes the LORD’s response to this unfaithfulness. So it seems best to consider 2:17 as the beginning of a new section, rather than as the end of the preceding section.

Notice also that this verse contains Malachi’s typical structure for beginning a new section:

  1. a statement by the LORD,

  2. a question challenging the LORD’s statement,

  3. and then the development of the theme of the section.

See note 6 in “Literary structure and recurring features in Malachi” in the Introduction.

3:4a

Then the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD,

3:4b

as in days of old and years gone by.

as in days of old: The Hebrew phrase which the BSB translates as as in days of old means “a long time ago.”

and years gone by: The Hebrew phrase which the BSB translates as and years gone by means “in the past.”

These two phrases have almost the same meaning in Hebrew. In some languages it may not be natural to repeat similar meanings in two phrases, one after the other, as it is here. If that is true in your language, you may express the meaning only once. For example:

just as they did in the past. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

מִנְחַ֥ת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִ⁠ירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

offering_of Yehuda (Some words not found in UHB: and,it_will_be_pleasing to/for=YHWH offering_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem like_[the],days_of old and,like,years former )

Since Yahweh is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form. Alternate translation: [the offerings of the people of Judah and Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

כִּ⁠ימֵ֣י עוֹלָ֔ם וּ⁠כְ⁠שָׁנִ֖ים קַדְמֹנִיּֽוֹת

like_[the],days_of old and,like,years former

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [as in the past]
