## translationNotes
* **Present that to your governor** - "If you present that to your governor"
* **Present** - give as a gift to show respect
* **will he accept you or will he show you favor?** - "will he be pleased with you?" This is a rebuke. Alternate translation: "he will certainly not be pleased with you!" (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion]])
* **And now, ...gracious to us** - Malachi is no longer speaking for God. He is talking directly to the Israelites.
* **With such an offering on your part, will he receive any of you kindly?** - "When you offer unacceptable sacrifices, will God be pleased with you?" This is a rebuke. Alternate translation: "If you offer unacceptable offerings, God will certainly not be pleased with you!"
