Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠שֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

and=name_of ʼₑlhīmv other not invoke not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips,your

These two instructions mean almost the same thing. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “Be sure never to speak the names of other gods”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠שֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

and=name_of ʼₑlhīmv other not invoke not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips,your

These parallel phrases probably mean praying to other gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “Do not pray to other gods, never let me hear you do that”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips,your

To be on your mouth means to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “nor speak them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips,your

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Also see previous note. Alternate translation: “nor speak them so someone could hear them”
