Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לֹֽא יָס֥וּר שֵׁ֨בֶט֙ מִֽיהוּדָ֔ה
not depart scepter from,Judah
A scepter, or a king’s staff, is a special, decorated rod that a king holds to symbolize his authority to rule the people who are under him. Alternate translation: “Judah, the authority to rule will always belong to you and your descendants.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וּמְחֹקֵ֖ק מִבֵּ֣ין רַגְלָ֑יו
and,ruler's_staff from,between feet,his
This phrase forms a parallelism with the previous clause and emphasizes the authority that Judah and his descendants will have.

until that/for/because/then/when comes (Some words not found in UHB: not depart scepter from,Judah and,ruler's_staff from,between feet,his until that/for/because/then/when comes Shiloh and=to/for=him/it obedience peoples )
Jacob is probably prophesying here about the coming of the Messiah/Christ. This fits with the fact that Jesus was a descendant of the tribe of Judah and is now ruling as the true King over heaven and earth. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “until the highest king arrives” or “until the One whom the scepter belongs to comes”
וְל֖וֹ יִקְּהַ֥ת עַמִּֽים
and=to/for=him/it obedience peoples
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and the nations of the earth obey him.” or “and all people obey him.” or “All people will obey him.”
49:10 This verse anticipates the kingship in Judah (cp. 17:6, 16; 35:11). Although the birthright blessing went to Joseph, Judah would provide Israel’s rulers (see 1 Chr 5:1-2). A long line of kings from Judah would retain the scepter, the symbol of rule; the last king would be the one to whom it belongs, the promised Messiah (see 2 Sam 7:4-16; Pss 2, 45, 60; Isa 11; Ezek 21:26-27; Zech 9:9; Rev 5:5).
• from his descendants: Literally from between his feet, a poetic euphemism for reproductive organs.
• until the coming of the one to whom it belongs (Or until tribute is brought to him and the peoples obey; traditionally rendered until Shiloh comes): These differences arise from ambiguities in the Hebrew text. Rule of Israel belongs to Judah’s descendant through David’s line (2 Sam 7:8-16), and he will eventually rule all nations, as signified by the bringing of tribute (see Pss 68:29; 72:8-11; Isa 2:2-4; Eph 4:8-10).
