יֻקַּֽח נָ֣א מְעַט מַ֔יִם

brought now a_little waters

Saying a little was a polite way of showing generosity. Make sure your translation does not sound here like Abraham was only offering the men a tiny bit of water; he or his servants were going to bring them enough water to wash their feet. Alternate translation: “Let my servants bring you some water,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְ⁠רַחֲצ֖וּ רַגְלֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

and,wash feet,your_all's

People wore sandals and their feet would get dusty when they traveled. So it was customary to offer guests water to wash the dust off their feet. Consider whether or not it is better to begin a new sentence here in your language. Also, notice that the pronouns you and your are plural here in the Hebrew text. Alternate translation: “That way you all can wash the dust off your feet”

וְ⁠הִֽשָּׁעֲנ֖וּ

and,rest

Alternate translation: “and then relax here”
