OET (OET-RV) Ever since the time when your ancestors were alive, you all have ignored my commands and refused to obey them. Now return to me—if you all do so, I’ll return to you. That’s what I, army-commander Yahweh, say. But you all ask, ‘How can we return to you?’

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֵי⁠כֶ֜ם

your(pl)_ancestors_of,of

Yahweh is speaking of the ancestors of the Israelites as if they were the literal fathers of the current generation. Alternate translation: [forefathers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

סַרְתֶּ֤ם מֵֽ⁠חֻקַּ⁠י֙ וְ⁠לֹ֣א שְׁמַרְתֶּ֔ם

turned_aside from,my_of,statutes and=not kept

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. Yahweh uses them together to emphasize how the people have disobeyed him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [you have completely disobeyed my statutes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

סַרְתֶּ֤ם מֵֽ⁠חֻקַּ⁠י֙

turned_aside from,my_of,statutes

Yahweh is speaking of disobeying his statutes as if that were turning aside from a path on which one needed to walk. Alternate translation: [you have disobeyed my statutes]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠אֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם בַּ⁠מֶּ֥ה נָשֽׁוּב

and,you(pl)_say ,how? return

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [But you ask how you should return]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:7 In the context of covenant relationship, return expresses a change of loyalty on the part of Israel or God. Typically, the term is understood as repentance, a complete change of direction back to God or a total reorientation toward the Lord. The imperative verb conveys urgency and demands an immediate response from the audience. The indictment of insincere worship builds on similar charges in the second disputation (see 1:6-14), just as God’s promise to “open the windows of heaven” (3:10) affirms his power as “a great king” (see 1:14).
