עִמָּ֗⁠ךְ & יְבָרֶכְ⁠ךָ֙ & אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ & יָדְ⁠ךָ֖ & תַּעֲשֶֽׂה

with,you & bless,you & God,your & hands,your & do

Even though Moses is speaking to a group of people, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֵֽין־ל⁠וֹ֩ חֵ֨לֶק וְ⁠נַחֲלָ֜ה עִמָּ֗⁠ךְ

not to=him/it portion and,inheritance with,you

The implication is that the Levites will not receive any portion or inheritance of land. See Numbers 18:20 for more information. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: “the Levite does not own any land”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠שְׁעָרֶ֔י⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,towns,your

Here, the word gates represents the border of a town or city. Anyone who was inside the gates was part of the community. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “within your community”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְמַ֤עַן

so_that

Here, so that marks what follows as the goal or purpose of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יָדְ⁠ךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֶֽׂה

hands,your which/who do

Moses is using hand to represent the whole person in the act of working. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “that you yourself do”
