Yahweh is not asking the question Will a human rob God? to get information. Rather, he is asking and then answering his own question. See how you translated the similar instance in [2:15](../02/15.md). Alternate translation: [It does not seem that a human would dare to rob God, yet you are robbing me]

וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם בַּמֶּ֣ה קְבַעֲנ֑וּךָ
and,say in/on/at/with,how robbed,you
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 have robbed me]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
הַֽמַּעֲשֵׂ֖ר וְהַתְּרוּמָֽה
the,tithes and,the,offerings
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [You have robbed me in the tithe and the contribution]
3:6-12 Malachi’s fifth message echoes the first (1:2-5) by emphasizing God’s faithfulness to his promises. He calls Israel to a similar faithfulness in worship, especially in giving their tithes and offerings. If Malachi is a courtroom drama, the fifth message is the judge’s verdict. The real message is repentance—God wants honest and sincere worship from his people, of which tithing is a symbol.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
