uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠שָׁמְר֣וּ & וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִשְׂא֤וּ & יְחַלְּלֻ֑⁠הוּ & מְקַדְּשָֽׁ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_keep DOM duty_of,my and=not incur on/upon/above=him/it guilt and,they_will_die in=him/it that/for/because/then/when they,will_profane_it I YHWH [who]_sets_of,them_apart_as_holy )

Here the book of Leviticus switches from describing one hypothetical priest to describing the priesthood as a whole. As such, the words they and them refer to the Israelite priests. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: [And the priests shall keep … and the priests shall not carry … they profaned it … the one making the priests holy]

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִשְׂא֤וּ עָלָי⁠ו֙ חֵ֔טְא וּ⁠מֵ֥תוּ ב֖⁠וֹ כִּ֣י יְחַלְּלֻ֑⁠הוּ

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_keep DOM duty_of,my and=not incur on/upon/above=him/it guilt and,they_will_die in=him/it that/for/because/then/when they,will_profane_it I YHWH [who]_sets_of,them_apart_as_holy )

Here the word it refers to the watch of Yahweh, that is, Yahweh’s commands to avoid contact with unclean things while performing sacrificial duties. If it would be helpful to your readers, consider stating this plainly. Alternate translation: [and the priests shall not carry sin with regard to what I have told them to avoid and therefore die because they did what I told them to avoid, thus profaning my commands to them]

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִשְׂא֤וּ עָלָי⁠ו֙ חֵ֔טְא

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_keep DOM duty_of,my and=not incur on/upon/above=him/it guilt and,they_will_die in=him/it that/for/because/then/when they,will_profane_it I YHWH [who]_sets_of,them_apart_as_holy )

Here, they shall not bear sin is a common expression that refers to a priest being held responsible for their sin or wrongdoing. If that phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they shall not sin with regard to it]

The word translated as because indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation (with a period before): [They would die because]
