וְ⁠עָשִׂ֛יתָ & לָ֔⁠ךְ וּ⁠בָ֗אתָ וְ⁠יָֽרַשְׁתָּ֙ & לַ⁠אֲבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_do the,right and,the,good in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH so_that go_well to/for=you(fs) and,you_will_go and,you_will_take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land (the),good which/who swore YHWH to,ancestors_of,your )

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular from this verse to verse 21. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הַ⁠יָּשָׁ֥ר וְ⁠הַ⁠טּ֖וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_do the,right and,the,good in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH so_that go_well to/for=you(fs) and,you_will_go and,you_will_take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land (the),good which/who swore YHWH to,ancestors_of,your )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of right and good, you could express the same idea using adjectives or in another way. Alternate translation: [what is righteous and pleasing]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

הַ⁠יָּשָׁ֥ר וְ⁠הַ⁠טּ֖וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_do the,right and,the,good in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH so_that go_well to/for=you(fs) and,you_will_go and,you_will_take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land (the),good which/who swore YHWH to,ancestors_of,your )

The terms right and good mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [what is righteous] or [what is pleasing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_do the,right and,the,good in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH so_that go_well to/for=you(fs) and,you_will_go and,you_will_take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land (the),good which/who swore YHWH to,ancestors_of,your )

See how you translated the phrase “in the eyes of Yahweh” in 4:25. Alternate translation: [according to the judgment of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְמַ֨עַן֙

so_that

Here, so that marks what comes after the goal or purpose of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה לַ⁠אֲבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_do the,right and,the,good in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH so_that go_well to/for=you(fs) and,you_will_go and,you_will_take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land (the),good which/who swore YHWH to,ancestors_of,your )

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. The fact that Yahweh will give the land to the living Israelites is implied by what Moses said earlier in this speech. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [that Yahweh swore to your fathers that he would enable you to possess] or [that Yahweh swore that he would give to your fathers]
