Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠סָמַ֤ךְ יָד⁠וֹ֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ קָרְבָּנ֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠שְׁחָט֕⁠וֹ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד

and,lay his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in head offering,his and,slaughter,it entrance tent/house meeting

Here and throughout this chapter, the pronoun he refers to the worshiper and not to the priest. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “And the one offering the sacrifice shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and that individual shall slaughter it at the entrance of the tent of meeting”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠סָמַ֤ךְ יָד⁠וֹ֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ קָרְבָּנ֔⁠וֹ

and,lay his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in head offering,his

This is a symbolic action that identifies the person with the animal he is offering. The implication seems to be that the person is ritually placing his sins on the sacrificial animal so that God will forgive the sins when the animal is sacrificed. If it would be helpful to your readers, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering in order to place his sins on the animal, that they may be removed from him”

and,sprinkle sons_of ʼAhₐron's the,priests DOM the,blood on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar (Some words not found in UHB: and,lay his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in head offering,his and,slaughter,it entrance tent/house meeting and,sprinkle sons_of ʼAhₐron's the,priests DOM the,blood on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar on_all_sides )

As in 1:5, splashing the blood of the animal on the altar is a ritual action. The blood, being the life of the animal (see 17:11), was given by God to purify ritually and to remove sin. Here, the blood is splashed on the sides of the altar to keep it free from sin. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote here and in subsequent instances in the book. If your language has a specific word for applying liquids in a religious context, consider using that word here. Alternate translation: “And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall splash the blood all around on the holy altar in order to keep the altar clean from sin”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠זָרְק֡וּ בְּנֵי֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֧ים אֶת־ הַ⁠דָּ֛ם

and,sprinkle sons_of ʼAhₐron's the,priests DOM the,blood

It is implied that the priests would catch the blood in a bowl as it drained out of the bovine. Then they would bring the bowl with the blood in it and present it to Yahweh at the altar. If this would not be clear in your language, you could supply this information, here and in later instances in the book. Alternative translation: “And after catching the blood as it drains from the bovine, the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall splash the blood”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵי֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֧ים

sons_of ʼAhₐron's the,priests

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:5. Alternate translation: “the descendants of Aaron, who are priests”
