UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

קָרְבָּנ⁠וֹ֙ & יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ & יַקְרִ֣יב

offering,his & offer,it & bring

Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The ULT translates with the noun offering and the verb present. Your language may have comparable terms that you can use in your own translation.

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ

male entire/complete/moral offer,it

For a discussion of the word perfect, see the section titled “‘Unblemished‘ or ‘perfect‘” in Part 3 of the Introduction to Leviticus. Alternate translation: “he should offer a male that is unblemished” or “he should offer a male that is without defect”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ אֶל־פֶּ֝תַח אֹ֤הֶל מוֹעֵד֙ יַקְרִ֣יב אֹת֔⁠וֹ לִ⁠רְצֹנ֖⁠וֹ לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

male entire/complete/moral offer,it to/towards entrance tent/house meeting bring DOM=him/it for,accepted,he to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

The word translated as for indicates the goal or purpose for offering a sacrifice in the manner prescribed here. If it would be more natural in your language, you could put the last of these phrases first, since the last phrase gives the reason for the actions that the first two phrases describe. Alternate translation: “in order for Yahweh to consider the offering acceptable, he shall present a perfect male at the entrance of the tent of meeting”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

לִ⁠רְצֹנ֖⁠וֹ

for,accepted,he

The word translated as its could refer to (1) the offering. Alternate translation: “for the acceptance of the animal” or (2) the worshiper. Alternate translation: “for the acceptance of the one offering the animal”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, in contexts such as this, the expression to the face of Yahweh refers to a location “where Yahweh sees” and, by extension, “from Yahweh’s perspective” or “in Yahweh’s judgment.” Alternate translation: “from Yahweh’s perspective” or “in Yahweh’s judgment” or “before Yahweh”
