הַ⁠פְּקֻדִ֡ים אֲשֶׁר֩ פָּקַ֨ד מֹשֶׁ֤ה וְ⁠אַהֲרֹן֙

[were]_the,enrolled_[men] which/who enrolled Mosheh and,Aaron

It might seem that the expression counted ones whom Moses and Aaron had counted contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [were the people whom Moses and Aaron had counted]

וּ⁠נְשִׂיאֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר אִ֑ישׁ

and,the_leaders_of Yisrael two ten (a)_man

Here Moses implies that these 12 men helped Moses and Aaron count the people, as stated in [1:5](../01/05.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [with the 12 leaders of Israel helping them]

אִישׁ־אֶחָ֥ד לְ⁠בֵית־אֲבֹתָ֖י⁠ו הָיֽוּ

(a)_man one(ms) for,the_house_of his_ancestors_of,his they_were

The author is using one man for the house of his fathers as a common expression of his culture to mean “each person represented his ancestral house.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Each one of them was from the house of his fathers]

אֲבֹתָ֖י⁠ו

The author is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of his ancestors] or [of his family line]
