(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_found from=(the)_sons of,the_priests which/who married women/wives foreign from=(the)_sons Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua) son_of Yōʦādāq/(Jozadak) and,brothers_of,his Maˊₐsē^yāh and,Eliezer and,Jarib and,Gedaliah )

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: [The clan leaders identified some men from among]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֣י הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_found from=(the)_sons of,the_priests which/who married women/wives foreign from=(the)_sons Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua) son_of Yōʦādāq/(Jozadak) and,brothers_of,his Maˊₐsē^yāh and,Eliezer and,Jarib and,Gedaliah )

Here, sons of is a figurative expression that means “descendants of.” These men are all descendants of men who had been priests in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [among the descendants of the priests]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֹשִׁ֖יבוּ נָשִׁ֣ים נָכְרִיּ֑וֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_found from=(the)_sons of,the_priests which/who married women/wives foreign from=(the)_sons Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua) son_of Yōʦādāq/(Jozadak) and,brothers_of,his Maˊₐsē^yāh and,Eliezer and,Jarib and,Gedaliah )

See how you translated this expression in 10:2. Alternate translation: [who had married foreign women]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֨י יֵשׁ֤וּעַ בֶּן־יֽוֹצָדָק֙ וְ⁠אֶחָ֔י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_found from=(the)_sons of,the_priests which/who married women/wives foreign from=(the)_sons Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua) son_of Yōʦādāq/(Jozadak) and,brothers_of,his Maˊₐsē^yāh and,Eliezer and,Jarib and,Gedaliah )

Here, the sons of Jeshua means “the descendants of Jeshua,” since Jeshua lived many years before this time, but son of Jozadak is literal because Jeshua was the biological son of Jozadak. Brothers could mean biological brothers, but it is more likely that it refers to relatives. Alternate translation: [from the descendants of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his relatives]
