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 commanded me not to allow you to trouble Moab or to fight agains them in battle. He said that he would not give to us from its land a possession, because he has given Ar to the sons of Lot, as a possession”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֶל־תָּ֨צַר֙ אֶת־מוֹאָ֔ב וְ⁠אַל־תִּתְגָּ֥ר בָּ֖⁠ם מִלְחָמָ֑ה

to/towards harass DOM Mōʼāⱱ and,not provoke in/on/at/with,them battle

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “You shall not trouble Moab or fight against them in battle”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מוֹאָ֔ב

Mōʼāⱱ

The word Moab represents the people of Moab. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of Moab”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֠י

that/for/because/then/when

Here, the word for introduces the reason why the Israelites shall not fight the people of Moab. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason. Alternate translation: “since”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

כִּ֠י לֹֽא־אֶתֵּ֨ן לְ⁠ךָ֤ מֵֽ⁠אַרְצ⁠וֹ֙ יְרֻשָּׁ֔ה כִּ֣י לִ⁠בְנֵי־ל֔וֹט נָתַ֥תִּי אֶת־עָ֖ר יְרֻשָּֽׁה

that/for/because/then/when not give to/for=yourself(m) any_of,land,their possession that/for/because/then/when to,descendants Lōţ I_give DOM Ar possession

The expression to give someone's land as a possession contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “For I will not give to you from his land, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לֹֽא־אֶתֵּ֨ן לְ⁠ךָ֤ מֵֽ⁠אַרְצ⁠וֹ֙ יְרֻשָּׁ֔ה כִּ֣י לִ⁠בְנֵי־ל֔וֹט נָתַ֥תִּי אֶת־עָ֖ר יְרֻשָּֽׁה

not give to/for=yourself(m) any_of,land,their possession that/for/because/then/when to,descendants Lōţ I_give DOM Ar possession

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession, so I will not give to you from his land a possession”

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵֽ⁠אַרְצ⁠וֹ֙

any_of,land,their

The pronoun its refers to Moab. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the name of the land here. Alternate translation: “from the land of Moab”

Note 8 topic: translate-names

עָ֖ר

The word Ar is the name of a city in Moab.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵי

Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the offspring of”
