UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

נֶ֚פֶשׁ כִּֽי־ תִמְעֹ֣ל

creature that/for/because/then/when commits

As in 5:1 and 5:2, although the word translated A person is feminine, it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. If your language has a generic word for an individual that is grammatically feminine, consider using it here, or use a generic noun. See how you handled the similar phrase in 2:1 and 4:1. Alternate translation: “When any person trespasses” or “When someone trespasses”

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

תִמְעֹ֣ל מַ֔עַל

commits trespass

Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase he trespasses translates a verb that is related to the noun translated trespass. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠חָֽטְאָה֙ בִּ⁠שְׁגָגָ֔ה מִ⁠קָּדְשֵׁ֖י יְהוָ֑ה

and,sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong in_regard_to,holy_things YHWH

The expression sins by mistake from the holy things of Yahweh means to violate Yahweh's commands regarding the proper treatment of the sacred space and the sacred objects related to the worship of Yahweh. If it would be helpful, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “and he sins by mistake with regard to Yahweh's commandments about how to behave in the sacred space and handle the sacred objects consecrated to Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠חָֽטְאָה֙ בִּ⁠שְׁגָגָ֔ה

and,sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong

See how you translated the similar expression in 4:2.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠הֵבִיא֩ אֶת־אֲשָׁמ֨⁠וֹ לַֽ⁠יהוָ֜ה

and,bring DOM guilt_offering,his to/for=YHWH

Here, to bring the required sacrifice to Yahweh refers to carrying the sacrifice to the altar that is located at the entrance of the tent of meeting, as described with the other sacrificial processes in the previous chapters. Because the tent of meeting was where Yahweh lived among the Israelites, taking the offering to the altar is considered the same as bringing it directly to Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “then he shall bring his guilt to the altar that is located inside the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among the Israelites”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הֵבִיא֩ אֶת־אֲשָׁמ֨⁠וֹ

and,bring DOM guilt_offering,his

As in 5:6 and 5:7, here, his guilt does not refer to the legal status of guilt but to the required penalty for that person’s guilt, that is, the sacrifice that will provide atonement for the individual’s guilt that he acquired by sinning unintentionally. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “then he shall bring the sacrifice required to make restitution for his guilt”

See how you translated this expression in 5:6.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛

in/on/at/with,valuation,your

The expression in your valuation refers to the process of determining the monetary value of the ram described in this verse through the use of weights, using the shekel of the holy place as a base measurement. If it would be helpful in your language, consider stating this plainly. Alternate translation: “along with your assessment of the value of the ram in silver”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛

in/on/at/with,valuation,your

Even though Yahweh is speaking to a group of people, the pronoun you is singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 11 topic: translate-bmoney

בְּ⁠עֶרְכְּ⁠ךָ֛ כֶּֽסֶף־שְׁקָלִ֥ים בְּ⁠שֶֽׁקֶל־הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ

in/on/at/with,valuation,your silver shekels in/on/at/with,shekel the,sanctuary

The silver shekel that was used in the holy place was an ancient measurement of the weight of silver that functioned as a currency, equivalent to approximately 10 grams or two-fifths of an ounce of silver. You could try to express this amount in terms of the current monetary value of silver, but that might cause your translation to become outdated and inaccurate since those values can change over time. Instead, consider using a generic phrase. Alternate translation: “in your valuation, the standard weight of silver that is used by the priests in the holy place”

Note 12 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ

the,sanctuary

The holy place is another way of saying the precincts of the sacred tent where Yahweh lived among the Israelites. If it would be helpful, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “the holy space of the sacred tent where Yahweh lives among the Israelites”

Note 13 topic: translate-unknown

לְ⁠אָשָֽׁם

as,guilt_offering

As the General Introduction to this chapter discusses, the guilt offering was a special kind of sacrifice that made restitution for the desecrated object that was was mishandled by the individual who sinned unintentionally with regard to the sacred objects consecrated to Yahweh.
