Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּרִיתִ֣י הָיְתָ֣ה אִתּ֗וֹ הַֽחַיִּים֙ וְהַ֨שָּׁל֔וֹם
covenant,my she/it_was with=him/it the=life and,the,peace
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of life and peace, you could express the same idea in another way. See the further discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “I made a covenant with him that made conditions peaceful and allowed people to live”
Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
הָיְתָ֣ה אִתּ֗וֹ & ל֥וֹ & וַיִּֽירָאֵ֑נִי & נִחַ֥ת הֽוּא
she/it_was with=him/it & to=him/it & and,revered,me & stood_in_awe he/it
Since Yahweh is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form. Alternate translation: “was with them … to them … and they feared me … they were dismayed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיִּֽירָאֵ֑נִי וּמִפְּנֵ֥י שְׁמִ֖י נִחַ֥ת הֽוּא
and,revered,me and,of,presences_of name,my stood_in_awe he/it
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “and he had great reverence for me and my reputation”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
שְׁמִ֖י
name,my
Yahweh is using one part of himself, his name, to mean all of himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “me”

OET (OET-RV) “My agreement with your ancestor Levi was to give life and peace, and I gave them to them. It was an agreement based on respect, and they respected me and honoured my name.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
