בֶּ֚קַע לַ⁠גֻּלְגֹּ֔לֶת מַחֲצִ֥ית הַ⁠שֶּׁ֖קֶל בְּ⁠שֶׁ֣קֶל הַ⁠קֹּ֑דֶשׁ

beka for_the,head half the,shekel in/on/at/with,shekel the,sanctuary

A beka is 1/2 a shekel. A shekel is 11 grams. There were evidently shekels of more than one weight at the time; by the shekel of the sanctuary specified which one was to be used. See 38:24. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or a footnote. Alternate translation: “five and a half grams” or “5 1/2 grams”

מַחֲצִ֥ית הַ⁠שֶּׁ֖קֶל

A half means one part out of two equal parts.

Here the account leaves out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. The idea that this silver was “received” from these “men” is left out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “received from every passer over to the counted ones from a son of 20 years and older—received from 603,550 men”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠בֶּ֨ן עֶשְׂרִ֤ים שָׁנָה֙

from,son_of twenty year

This is an idiom meaning 20 years old. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “from those 20 years old”
