Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וַיָּ֥מָת נָדָ֖ב וַאֲבִיה֑וּא
and=he/it_died Nādāⱱ and,Abihu
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And Nadab and Abihu died]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
אֵשׁ זָרָ֖ה
fire unauthorized
The expression strange fire refers to a kind of burning coals that Yahweh had not authorized for use in his presence. If your readers would not be familiar with what strange fire 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: [unauthorized fire]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH
Here, the face of Yahweh represents “the presence of Yahweh.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in the presence of Yahweh]
