Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יִשָּׂ֨א יְהוָ֤ה ׀ פָּנָיו֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ
lift_up YHWH his/its=faces/face to,you
Here, Yahweh is speaking as if Yahweh had a physical face that he could lift up toward someone. This expression means that Yahweh would pay attention to someone in order to help them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [May Yahweh pay attention to you for your good]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אֵלֶ֔יךָ & לְךָ֖
to,you & to/for=yourself(m)
The word you is singular here because Aaron and his sons are speaking this blessing to each individual Israelite. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Alternate translation: [to each of you … to each of you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם
and,may_he_appoint to/for=yourself(m) peace
Yahweh is using put peace to you as a common expression of this culture to mean “give you peace” or “cause you to have peace.” 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: [and he give you peace]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם
and,may_he_appoint to/for=yourself(m) peace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and may he make you live peacefully]
