עֵ֨ד ה֜וּא בֵּינֵ֣י⁠נוּ וּ⁠בֵינֵי⁠כֶ֗ם

witness he/it between,us and,between,you_all

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “but as a witness between us and the western tribes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

דֹּרוֹתֵי⁠נוּ֮

generations,our

The eastern representatives are using the pronoun our to refer to their generations and those of their listeners, so use the inclusive form of that pronoun if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

לַ⁠עֲבֹ֞ד אֶת עֲבֹדַ֤ת יְהוָה֙

that,perform DOM service YHWH

For emphasis, the eastern representatives are using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “to serve Yahweh diligently”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָ֔י⁠ו

in,presence,his

The representatives of the eastern tribes are using the term face by association to mean the presence of someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “in his presence” or “at the tent of meeting”
