וְ⁠שָׁמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת־הַ⁠שַּׁבָּ֑ת

and,observe sons_of Yisrael DOM the,sabbath

Yahweh uses the phrase keep my Sabbaths as a metaphor for obeying his instructions about the Sabbath, as if it was a precious thing they should guard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “And the sons of Israel must obey Yahweh’s instructions about the Sabbath”

לְ⁠דֹרֹתָ֖⁠ם

throughout,generations,their

See how you translated “throughout their people’s generations” in Exodus 12:42. Alternate translation: “; they and all the generations of their descendants must observe it.”

בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם

covenant lasting

Alternate translation: “A covenant that will always exist” or “A lasting covenant”
