UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֤י גַם־בָּ⁠כֶם֙ וְ⁠יִסְגֹּ֣ר דְּלָתַ֔יִם וְ⁠לֹֽא־תָאִ֥ירוּ מִזְבְּחִ֖⁠י חִנָּ֑ם

who? also/even in/on/at/with,you_all and,shut doors and=not kindle_fire altar_of,my in_vain

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I wish one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not kindle useless fires on my altar!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

דְּלָתַ֔יִם

doors

Yahweh assumes that his listeners will know that by the doors he means the doors of the temple. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the doors of the temple]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֶרְצֶ֥ה מִ⁠יֶּדְ⁠כֶֽם

accept from,hands_of,your_all's

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠יֶּדְ⁠כֶֽם

from,hands_of,your_all's

Yahweh is using one part of the priests‘ bodies, the hand, to mean all of themselves in the act of offering sacrifices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that you give]
