ULT “But cursed be the deceiver if a male is in his flock and he vows it, but he sacrifices the blemished to the Lord. For I am a great King, says Yahweh of Armies, and my name is feared among the nations.

BSB “But cursed [is] the deceiver who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but sacrifices a defective [animal] to the Lord. For I am a great King,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and My name [is to be] feared among the nations.[’’]

FBV Cursed are those who cheat by vowing to bring a ram as a sacrifice and then offers an imperfect animal to the Lord. For I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and I am respected[fn] among the nations!
1:14 Literally, “feared,” but in this instance is linked to the respect that is missing mentioned in 1:6.
T4T I will curse anyone who tries to cheat me by solemnly promising to bring to me a perfect ram from his flock of sheep and then brings to me one that has defects. If anyone does that, I will punish him, because I am a great king; I am the Commander of the armies of angels and people of the other nations revere me [MTY], but you do not!”

וְאָר֣וּר נוֹכֵ֗ל וְיֵ֤שׁ בְּעֶדְרוֹ֙ זָכָ֔ר וְנֹדֵ֛ר וְזֹבֵ֥חַ מָשְׁחָ֖ת לַֽאדֹנָ֑י
and,cursed cheat and,has in/on/at/with,flock_of,his male and,vows and,sacrifices blemished to,Lord_of,
Yahweh is describing one event before describing another event that would precede it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they would happen. Alternate translation: [But if someone has a male in his flock and he vows it, but he sacrifices the blemished to the Lord, then that deceiver will be cursed]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְאָר֣וּר
and,cursed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [But I will curse]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְיֵ֤שׁ בְּעֶדְרוֹ֙ זָכָ֔ר
and,has in/on/at/with,flock_of,his male
Yahweh assumes that his listeners will know that by a male, he means a healthy, unblemished male animal. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [if a healthy, unblemished male is in his flock]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
מָשְׁחָ֖ת
blemished
Yahweh is not referring to a specific blemished animal. He means blemished animals in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [blemished animals]

לַֽאדֹנָ֑י & אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת
to,Lord_of, & he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וּשְׁמִ֖י נוֹרָ֥א בַגּוֹיִֽם
and,name_of,my feared in/on/at/with,nations
Yahweh is using one part of himself, his name, to mean all of him in the act of being feared. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I am feared among the nations because of my reputation]
