This last clause defines the purpose of the ritual described in this verse. See Exo 29:37. Use a natural way in your language for indicating purpose. Alternate translation: “This is to make it holy of holies to Yahweh.”

קַרְנֹתָ֔י⁠ו

These were projections that looked like ox horns and were attached to the four corners of the altar. See how you translated this in Exodus 27:2.

קֹֽדֶשׁ־קָֽדָשִׁ֥ים

holiest_of holy_ones

Here, holiest holy means extremely or uniquely holy. If this form would not express that this item would become uniquely holy in your language you may need to find another way to express this idea. See how you translated this in Exodus 29:37. Alternate translation: “a most holy thing” or “extraordinarily holy”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

After Yahweh, the direct quote that began in Exo 25:2 ends. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with a closing first-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a quotation.
