In this verse, you is singular. It refers to Aaron, so use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְיִלָּו֥וּ עָלֶ֖יךָ
so,that_they_may_join_themselves to,you
The expression they shall be joined to you is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [they shall join themselves to you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לִפְנֵ֖י אֹ֥הֶל הָעֵדֻֽת
to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before tent/house of,the_testimony
Yahweh is using to the face of the tent of the Testimony as a common expression of the culture to mean “before the tent of the Testimony” or “in the presence of the tent of the Testimony.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [shall be before the tent of the Testimony]

OET (OET-RV) Bring your Levite brothers (your father’s tribe) to work closely with you and to assist you as you and your sons perform your duties at the sacred tent.
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.
