מִמְּ⁠ךָ֜ & תוּכַ֘ל & מִמְּ⁠ךָ֙ & אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ & יְבָרֶכְ⁠ךָ֖ & אֱלֹהֶֽי⁠ךָ

Even though Moses is speaking to a group of people, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

שְׂאֵת⁠וֹ֒

carry,it

The pronoun it refers to the tithe of crops and livestock. If this is not clear for your readers, you could repeat the phrase from the previous verse. Alternate translation: “to carry the tithe from all your produce and livestock”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠כִֽי־יִרְבֶּ֨ה מִמְּ⁠ךָ֜ הַ⁠דֶּ֗רֶךְ כִּ֣י לֹ֣א תוּכַ֘ל שְׂאֵת⁠וֹ֒ כִּֽי־יִרְחַ֤ק מִמְּ⁠ךָ֙ הַ⁠מָּק֔וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִבְחַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ לָ⁠שׂ֥וּם שְׁמ֖⁠וֹ שָׁ֑ם כִּ֥י יְבָרֶכְ⁠ךָ֖ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽי⁠ךָ

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases so that it is clear that Yahweh must bless the Israelites before the Israelites can sell their tithe. Alternate translation: “When Yahweh your God blesses you, and you are not able to carry it to the place that Yahweh your God will put his name because it is too far”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּ֥י יְבָרֶכְ⁠ךָ֖ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽי⁠ךָ

that/for/because/then/when blessed,you YHWH God,your

The implication is that Yahweh will bless the Israelites by allowing their crops and cattle to grow well. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “when Yahweh your God blesses your fields and flocks”
