וְלָמָ֤ה הֲבֵאתֶם֙ אֶת קְהַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה אֶל הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לָמ֣וּת שָׁ֔ם אֲנַ֖חְנוּ וּבְעִירֵֽנוּ
and,,why? brought DOM assembly_of YHWH to/towards the,wilderness the=this to,die there us and,cattle_of,our
Here, the word to marks die there as the purpose of have you brought the assembly of Yahweh to this wilderness. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלָמָ֤ה הֲבֵאתֶם֙ אֶת־קְהַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לָמ֣וּת שָׁ֔ם
and,,why? brought DOM assembly_of YHWH to/towards the,wilderness the=this to,die there
The people are using the question form to rebuke Moses and Aaron for bringing them into the wilderness to die. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You have brought the assembly of Yahweh to this wilderness to die there!]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
הֲבֵאתֶם֙
brought
The pronoun you refers to Moses and Aaron. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [have Moses and Aaron brought]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֶת קְהַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה
DOM assembly_of YHWH
The people are using the possessive form to describe an assembly that is characterized by belonging to Yahweh. 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 assembly that worships Yahweh]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
אֲנַ֖חְנוּ וּבְעִירֵֽנוּ
us and,cattle_of,our
By we, the people mean themselves and their fellow Israelites but not those to whom they are speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
