The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is because]

turn_~_away DOM (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when turn_~_away DOM son_of,your from,after,me and,they_will_serve ʼElohīm other and,it_will_burn also/though YHWH on,you(pl) and,he,will_destroy_you quickly )

Moses is speaking of disobeying Yahweh as if one could turn away from walking on a path that follows Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they will cause your son to disobey me]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֶת־בִּנְ⁠ךָ֙

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when turn_~_away DOM son_of,your from,after,me and,they_will_serve ʼElohīm other and,it_will_burn also/though YHWH on,you(pl) and,he,will_destroy_you quickly )

In this verse, the word son is singular in form, but it refers to all the children of the Israelites, both their sons and their daughters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [your offspring]

See how you translated “nose” and “burn” in the similar phrase in [6:15](../06/15.md). Alternate translation: [And Yahweh will be very angry with you]
