וְ֠הָבִיאוּ אֶת אֲחִיכֶ֣ם הַקָּטֹן֮ אֵלַי֒
and,bring DOM brother,your_all's the=small(sg) to=me
See how you translated a similar clause at the beginning of verse 20. Alternate translation: “Then bring your youngest brother back here to me” or “After that, you must come back here to me with your youngest brother.”
וְאֵֽדְעָ֗ה כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מְרַגְּלִים֙ אַתֶּ֔ם
and,know that/for/because/then/when not spies you_all
Consider again how you translated spies in Gen 42:9-11, 14, 16, 30, 31, 34. Alternate translation: “Then I will know that you are not spies,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם
that/for/because/then/when honest you_all
For some languages it is more natural to change the order of clauses in this sentence and say, “Then I will know that you are honest/trustworthy men/people and not spies.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “but are honest men”
אֶת אֲחִיכֶם֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֔ם
DOM DOM brother,your_all's give_~_back to/for=you_all
Alternate translation: “Then I will release to you your brother who is in prison,”
