(Some words not found in UHB: indeed just=as eaten DOM the,gazelle and=DOM the,deer yes/correct/thus/so you,will_eat_it the,unclean and,the,clean alike he,will_eat_it )

The expression are eaten is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [as one eats the gazelle and the deer]

The implication is that the Israelites who lived far away from Yahweh’s chosen place could eat these sacrifices where they lived. This would be just as they would eat wild animals as the gazelle and the deer (which were not used in sacrifices). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [as you are permitted to eat wild animals like the gazelle and the deer]

Moses is using the adjectives unclean and clean as nouns to refer to people and their ceremonial purity. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [people who are unclean and people who are clean] or. Alternate translation: [everyone, whether or not they are ceremonially clean]
