וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֵלַ֔⁠י רְאֵ֗ה הַֽחִלֹּ֨תִי֙ תֵּ֣ת לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ אֶת־סִיחֹ֖ן וְ⁠אֶת־אַרְצ֑⁠וֹ הָחֵ֣ל רָ֔שׁ לָ⁠רֶ֖שֶׁת אֶת־אַרְצֽ⁠וֹ

and=he/it_said YHWH to=me see begun to_give to=your=face DOM Sihon and=DOM land,his begin conquer to,take_possession_of DOM land,his

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh told me that he had begun giving before my face Sihon and his land. He commanded me to begin, possoess, to possess his land”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רְאֵ֗ה

see

Yahweh is using the term Look to focus the Moses’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “See now”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תֵּ֣ת לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ אֶת־סִיחֹ֖ן וְ⁠אֶת־אַרְצ֑⁠וֹ

to_give to=your=face DOM Sihon and=DOM land,his

Here Yahweh speaks as if he is physically giving Sihon to Moses. Yahweh means that he is enabling Moses to defeat Sihon and take over the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “giving victory before your face over Sihon and his land”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ

to=your=face

Here, face represents the presence of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “before you”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אַרְצ֑⁠וֹ & אַרְצֽ⁠וֹ

land,his & land,his

Here, the pronoun his refers to King Sihon. Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe the land that King Sihon rules over. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a comparable expression. Alternate translation: “the land that he rules over … the land that he rules over”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הָחֵ֣ל רָ֔שׁ לָ⁠רֶ֖שֶׁת

begin conquer to,take_possession_of

The words possess, to possess translate a verb that is repeated for emphasis. Yahweh wants the Israelites to fully possess the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language. Alternate translation: “Begin to fully possess”
