Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

קָרְבַּ֥ן רֵאשִׁ֛ית תַּקְרִ֥יבוּ אֹתָ֖⁠ם לַ⁠יהוָ֑ה

offering beginning_of bring DOM=them to/for=YHWH

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:2, possibly using a verb and a noun that come from the same root in your language.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

תַּקְרִ֥יבוּ אֹתָ֖⁠ם

bring DOM=them

The pronoun them refers to grain offerings that are prepared with leaven or honey, as described in 2:11. Alternate translation: “You may offer grain offerings made with leaven or honey” or, in the third person, “Anyone may offer grain offerings made with leaven or honey”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

קָרְבַּ֥ן רֵאשִׁ֛ית

offering beginning_of

The expression offering of first things refers to a grain offering that consists of the best produce of the first harvest of a particular crop. If your language and culture have a word for this concept, consider using it here, or consider using a general term.

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠אֶל־הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֥חַ לֹא־יַעֲל֖וּ לְ⁠רֵ֥יחַ נִיחֹֽחַ׃

and=near/to the,altar not offered for,aroma (Some words not found in UHB: offering beginning_of bring DOM=them to/for=YHWH and=near/to the,altar not offered for,aroma pleasing )

When Leviticus says of grain offerings that contain leaven or honey, on the altar they will not go up, it means that the Israelites should not give them to the priests to burn on the altar in a way that causes smoke from the altar to go up to Yahweh in heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but the priests shall not burn them on the altar in a way that causes them to become smoke and go up to Yahweh in heaven as a pleasant smell”
