OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ll send the prophet Eliyyah to you all, ahead of the coming of the great but fearful day of my judgement.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הִנֵּ֤ה
(hinnēh)
See how you translated this expression in 4:1. Alternate translation (ending with a period): “Pay attention to what I am about to say.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵ֗י בּ֚וֹא
(lifənēy bōʼ)
Malachi is using the phrase to the face to represent what is in front of someone or something. Here, the thing is a day that is described as though it were a person who is coming, so what is in front of the day is there before the day arrives. Therefore, to the face of the coming of means “before the coming of” the day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “before the coming of”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַגָּד֖וֹל וְהַנּוֹרָֽא
(yōm yəhvāh haggādōl vəhannōrāʼ)
Yahweh is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “my great and fearsome day”
4:4-6 The book concludes with an epilogue containing appeals to Moses and Elijah, two ideal models of faith in the Lord and of the ideals of the Law and Prophets (see Matt 17:1-4). The two are upheld as examples for Malachi’s audience to follow. In ancient Hebrew tradition, the two appeals may have served as postscripts for the scroll that contained the twelve Minor (shorter) Prophets. If so, the first postscript (Mal 4:4) connects the scroll to the Law of Moses. The second (4:5-6) ties the scroll of the Minor Prophets to the Major (longer) Prophets—Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.
