לְכָל דְּבַ֧ר הַמִּזְבֵּ֛חַ
to/from=all/each/any/every message/matter_of of,the_altar
Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe every matter that is characterized by the altar. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for all matters relating to the altar]
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
וּלְמִבֵּ֥ית לַפָּרֹ֖כֶת
and,to,from,inside_of to,curtain
The veil is a curtain that separated the holy place from the most holy place inside the tabernacle. If your readers would not be familiar with what a veil is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [and for inside the curtain]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וּלְמִבֵּ֥ית לַפָּרֹ֖כֶת

עֲבֹדַ֣ת מַתָּנָ֗ה

Here, the phrase a service of a gift could mean: (1) that the service the priests perform is valuable, so the priests will receive gifts from the rest of the Israelites. These gifts are described in the rest of this chapter. Alternate translation: [as a valuable service] or [as a service that will be repaid] (2) that the service is a gift from God to the priests. Alternate translation: [as service that is a gift] or [as a gift]

וְהַזָּ֥ר הַקָּרֵ֖ב
and,the,stranger (the),approaching
A stranger in this context refers to a person who is not authorized to serve as a priest.

Alternate translation: [And any unauthorized person who comes near]
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יוּמָֽת
put_to_death
The expression shall be put to death 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: [must die]
