uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֤י רוּם־לְבָב⁠וֹ֙ & וּ⁠לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֛י ס֥וּר & לְמַעַן֩

to=not lifted_up heart_of,his & and,that,not turn_aside & so_that

Here, so that marks what follows as the goal or purpose of the commands from the previous verse. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֤י רוּם־לְבָב⁠וֹ֙ מֵֽ⁠אֶחָ֔י⁠ו

to=not lifted_up heart_of,his above,countrymen_of,his

Here, heart is lifted up is a common expression that means “is proud” or “is arrogant.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that he does not look down his nose at his brothers] or [so that he does not act like he is better than his brothers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֵֽ⁠אֶחָ֔י⁠ו

above,countrymen_of,his

Here, brothers means “fellow Israelites.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [above his fellow Israelites]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠לְ⁠בִלְתִּ֛י ס֥וּר מִן־הַ⁠מִּצְוָ֖ה יָמִ֣ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹ֑אול

and,that,not turn_aside from/more_than the,commandment right and,left

See how you translated the similar expression in [5:32](../05/32.md). Alternate translation: [and so that he does not disobey the commandments]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַאֲרִ֨יךְ יָמִ֧ים עַל־מַמְלַכְתּ֛⁠וֹ

reign_long days on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=kingdom

Moses is speaking of time as if it were something over which man could exercise control, to prolong it. If the king obeys Yahweh, then he will prolong the days that he rules over his kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will reign in his kingdom for a long time]
