UTN uW Translation Notes:

אַל־תְּשַׁקְּצוּ֙ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵי⁠כֶ֔ם

not defile DOM selves_of,you_all

Alternate translation: “You shall not make yourselves detestable”

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

בְּ⁠כָל־הַ⁠שֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַ⁠שֹּׁרֵ֑ץ

in=all the,creature the,swarms

This expression is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that comes from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “with anything at all that swarms all over”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠לֹ֤א תִֽטַּמְּאוּ֙ בָּ⁠הֶ֔ם וְ⁠נִטְמֵתֶ֖ם בָּֽ⁠ם׃

and=not make_~_unclean (is)_in=them and,made_unclean (Some words not found in UHB: not defile DOM selves_of,you_all in=all the,creature the,swarms and=not make_~_unclean (is)_in=them and,made_unclean in/on/at/with,them )

Yahweh repeats the same idea twice with different words in order to strengthen the command that the people of Israel are not to eat any unclean animal. 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: “And you should not make yourselves unclean with them. No, certainly, you should never be made unclean by them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נִטְמֵתֶ֖ם בָּֽ⁠ם׃

and,made_unclean (Some words not found in UHB: not defile DOM selves_of,you_all in=all the,creature the,swarms and=not make_~_unclean (is)_in=them and,made_unclean in/on/at/with,them )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and do not let them make you unclean”
