וְאֵת֙ שֵׁ֣ם אַהֲרֹ֔ן תִּכְתֹּ֖ב עַל־מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י כִּ֚י מַטֶּ֣ה אֶחָ֔ד לְרֹ֖אשׁ בֵּ֥ית אֲבוֹתָֽם

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And because one staff is for the head of the house of their fathers, the name of Aaron you shall write on the staff of Levi]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וְאֵת֙ שֵׁ֣ם אַהֲרֹ֔ן תִּכְתֹּ֖ב
(Some words not found in UHB: DOM censers_of of,the_sinners the=these by,lives_of,their and,people_will_make DOM=them hammered_of sheets plating for,altar that/for/because/then/when they,brought_them_near to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_became_holy and,let_them_become (into)_a,sign for,the_people_of Yisrael )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about writing before the information about the name of Aaron. Alternate translation: [And you shall write the name of Aaron]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: DOM censers_of of,the_sinners the=these by,lives_of,their and,people_will_make DOM=them hammered_of sheets plating for,altar that/for/because/then/when they,brought_them_near to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_became_holy and,let_them_become (into)_a,sign for,the_people_of Yisrael )
By the staff of Levi, Yahweh means another staff in addition to the twelve from the previous verse. See the chapter introduction for more information. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on another staff, the staff of Levi]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: DOM censers_of of,the_sinners the=these by,lives_of,their and,people_will_make DOM=them hammered_of sheets plating for,altar that/for/because/then/when they,brought_them_near to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,they_became_holy and,let_them_become (into)_a,sign for,the_people_of Yisrael )
Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe a staff that is characterized by representing the tribe of Levi. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the staff that represents Levi]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Here Yahweh is speaking as if the leader of a tribe were the head of a body. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is for the leader of]
