UST The people of Israel must follow these instructions in order to distinguish themselves from that which is impure among them. If they are able to do this, they will not desecrate the sacred place in which I live among them and so I will not kill them. But if they continue to make themselves impure, I will kill them when they desecrate the sacred place in which I live among them.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְ⁠הִזַּרְתֶּ֥ם

and,keep_~_separate

Here, you is plural. It refers to Aaron and Moses, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶת־ בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

DOM sons_of Yisrael

See how you handled this way of referring to the people of Israel in 1:2.

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

מִ⁠טֻּמְאָתָ֑⁠ם & בְּ⁠טֻמְאָתָ֔⁠ם בְּ⁠טַמְּאָ֥⁠ם

from,uncleanness,their & in/on/at/with,uncleanness,their in/on/at/with,defiling,their

Words are being repeated for emphasis. Specifically, the word uncleanness comes from a noun that is related to the verb defiling. 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.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ⁠טֻּמְאָתָ֑⁠ם

from,uncleanness,their

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word uncleanness, you can express the same idea with “unclean.” Alternate translation: “from becoming unclean”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠לֹ֤א יָמֻ֨תוּ֙ בְּ⁠טֻמְאָתָ֔⁠ם בְּ⁠טַמְּאָ֥⁠ם אֶת־מִשְׁכָּנִ֖⁠י אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠תוֹכָֽ⁠ם׃

and=not die in/on/at/with,uncleanness,their in/on/at/with,defiling,their DOM tabernacle,my which/who (Some words not found in UHB: and,keep_~_separate DOM sons_of Yisrael from,uncleanness,their and=not die in/on/at/with,uncleanness,their in/on/at/with,defiling,their DOM tabernacle,my which/who in/on/at/with,midst,them )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition emphasizes that the people of Israel will die if they defile God’s holy place. If your language does not use repetition for emphasis, you could use a single phrase and convey the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “and they will not die when they are unclean and defile my Dwelling that is in their midst”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־מִשְׁכָּנִ֖⁠י אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠תוֹכָֽ⁠ם׃

DOM DOM tabernacle,my which/who (Some words not found in UHB: and,keep_~_separate DOM sons_of Yisrael from,uncleanness,their and=not die in/on/at/with,uncleanness,their in/on/at/with,defiling,their DOM tabernacle,my which/who in/on/at/with,midst,them )

This expression refers to the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lived among the Israelites. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the holy place where I live in their midst”
