I think you may want to try
In[1]:= 
ma=SparseArray[{Band[{1,1}]->{1,3,5,4},Band[{2,1}]->{2,9,3},Band[{3,1}]->{4,2},Band[{4,1}]->{2}},{4,4}]
Out[1]= SparseArray[<10>,{4,4}]
In[2]:= (ma-(IdentityMatrix[4] Diagonal[ma])+Transpose[ma])//MatrixForm
Out[2]//MatrixForm= (1 2 4 2
2 3 9 2
4 9 5 3
2 2 3 4
)
