Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְהַנֶּ֗פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּפְנֶ֤ה אֶל־ הָֽאֹבֹת֙ וְאֶל־ הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,person which/who turns to/towards the,mediums and=near/to the,spiritists to,prostitute after,them and,set DOM face,my in/on/at/with,person the=that and,cut_~_off DOM=him/it from,among people,his )

This expression uses the idiom of turning to mediums and spiritists to refer to a person who decides to disregard Yahweh and his commandments and consult these means of talking to the dead instead. If your language has a similar idiom for religious disobedience, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “And the person who is unfaithful to Yahweh by consulting mediums or spiritists”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

הָֽאֹבֹת֙ & הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים

See how you how translated these terms in 19:31.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠זְנ֖וֹת אַחֲרֵי⁠הֶ֑ם

to,prostitute after,them

This phrase uses a metaphor to compare those who are unfaithful to Yahweh and instead worship other gods to prostitutes. This implies a marriage between Yahweh and the people of Israel, such that Yahweh is like a husband and the people of Israel are like a wife. If your language has a similar metaphor to describe being religiously unfaithful in worship, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse. Alternate expression: “all the people who are unfaithful to Yahweh by choosing to worship Molech instead”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י אֹת֖וֹ מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמּֽוֹ׃

The punishment for these behaviors is spoken of as if Yahweh were literally cutting off the individual from his people. It may be helpful to refer to how you handled the similar expression in 7:20.
