ULT But if her hand does not find enough of a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two sons of the pigeon, one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her. And she will be clean.’”

UST However, if any woman cannot afford a lamb, then she may bring two pigeons or two doves. The priest should offer one of the birds as a wholly burned sacrifice and the other as a purifying sacrifice. When the priest offers these birds, Yahweh will accept the woman again, and he will purify her from the impurity of the blood that she bled when she gave birth to her children.”

BSB § But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons,[fn] one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אִם־לֹ֨א תִמְצָ֣א יָדָ⁠הּ֮ דֵּ֣י שֶׂה֒

and=if not have means,her sufficient sheep

This expression is an idiom that refers to being too poor to afford to offer one’s own flock animal or to purchase another’s flock animal. If your language uses a similar idiom, consider using it here. Otherwise, if it would be helpful in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expressions in 5:7 and 5:11. Alternate translation: “But if she cannot afford to offer her own flock animal or to purchase someone else’s”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֔ה

sons_of pigeons

See how you translated this expression in 1:14.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כִפֶּ֥ר עָלֶ֛י⁠הָ הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֖ן

and,make_atonement on/upon=it(f) the=priest/officer

See how you translated the abstract noun atonement in 1:4. However, in your translation, make it clear that the woman does not need atonement because of any sin on her part. Here, the sacrifices performed by the priest provide for the removal of impurity from the women—in this case, impurity acquired by the presence of blood discharging from the woman's body, not by any sin. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation.
