הִקְרִ֨יבוּ אֶת־חַטָּאתָ֤⁠ם וְ⁠אֶת־עֹֽלָתָ⁠ם֙

presented DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke ʼAhₐron to/towards Mosheh if the=day presented DOM offering_of,their_sin and=DOM offering_of,their_burnt to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_have_happened_to DOM=me like,these_[things] and,I_will_eat sin the=day will,it_be_good? in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )

Here the pronouns they and their refer to Aaron’s four sons, who had offered burnt offerings and sin offerings on their own behalf as well as on the behalf of the people. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [my four sons presented their sin offerings and their burnt offerings]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

See how you translated this expression in [1:5](../01/05.md). Alternate translation: [in the precincts of the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lived among the Israelites] or [in Yahweh’s presence]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וַ⁠תִּקְרֶ֥אנָה אֹתִ֖⁠י כָּ⁠אֵ֑לֶּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke ʼAhₐron to/towards Mosheh if the=day presented DOM offering_of,their_sin and=DOM offering_of,their_burnt to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_have_happened_to DOM=me like,these_[things] and,I_will_eat sin the=day will,it_be_good? in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )

Aaron is referring to the death of his sons, Nadab and Abihu, in a polite way by using the phrase it has happened to me according to these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to these events in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [and now my sons lie dead outside of the camp, having been consumed by Yahweh’s fire]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠אָכַ֤לְתִּי חַטָּאת֙ הַ⁠יּ֔וֹם הַ⁠יִּיטַ֖ב בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke ʼAhₐron to/towards Mosheh if the=day presented DOM offering_of,their_sin and=DOM offering_of,their_burnt to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_have_happened_to DOM=me like,these_[things] and,I_will_eat sin the=day will,it_be_good? in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )

Aaron here uses the question form to question Moses about the appropriateness of eating the meat of the sin offering when his two sons were killed within the holy space of the tent of meeting itself. His question anticipates a negative response. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation, followed by a period rather than a question mark: [But even if I ate the sin offering today, it would not have been good in the eyes of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַ⁠יִּיטַ֖ב בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke ʼAhₐron to/towards Mosheh if the=day presented DOM offering_of,their_sin and=DOM offering_of,their_burnt to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_have_happened_to DOM=me like,these_[things] and,I_will_eat sin the=day will,it_be_good? in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )

Here, eyes represent the sight of a person and, by extension, their judgment or approval. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [would it have been good in Yahweh’s judgment]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠יִּיטַ֖ב בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke ʼAhₐron to/towards Mosheh if the=day presented DOM offering_of,their_sin and=DOM offering_of,their_burnt to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_have_happened_to DOM=me like,these_[things] and,I_will_eat sin the=day will,it_be_good? in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )

The expression good in the eyes of Yahweh is an idiom that means “to be pleasing to Yahweh” or “to be acceptable to Yahweh.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [would Yahweh have approved] or [would it have pleased Yahweh]
