Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

לֹֽא־תַחְמֹד֩ & וְ⁠לָקַחְתָּ֣ לָ֔⁠ךְ & תִּוָּקֵ֣שׁ & אֱלֹהֶ֖י⁠ךָ

not covet & and,take to/for=you(fs) & ensnared & God,your

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you, your, and the command covet are singular here. 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 / explicitinfo

תִּשְׂרְפ֣וּ⁠ן בָּ⁠אֵ֑שׁ

burn, in/on/at/with,fire

The expression burn in fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression, as modeled by the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כֶּ֨סֶף וְ⁠זָהָ֤ב

silver and,gold

Idols were often decorated with silver and gold and other precious materials. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the silver and gold overlays”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

פֶּ֚ן

lest

Moses is using the word lest to introduce a hypothetical condition as a warning for a negative consequence. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “in case”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִּוָּקֵ֣שׁ בּ֔⁠וֹ

ensnared in/on/over=him/it

The gold or silver on the idols could cause the people to start worshiping them because the precious metals are attractive. Moses compares idol worship to a trap because it is very difficult to stop once you start worshiping idols. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this concept in verse 16. Alternate translation: “you start worshiping the idols and cannot stop”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּוָּקֵ֣שׁ בּ֔⁠וֹ

ensnared in/on/over=him/it

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “it entraps you”

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֧י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “because”
