Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְלֹ֣א יְחַלְּל֔וּ שֵׁ֖ם אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם
and=not profane name_of God,their
This word name is used to represent Yahweh’s character. Alternate translation: “and they must not disgrace God’s reputation” or “and they must not disgrace their God”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
כִּי֩
that/for/because/then/when
The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “This is because”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אֶת־אִשֵּׁ֨י יְהוָ֜ה לֶ֧חֶם אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם הֵ֥ם מַקְרִיבִ֖ם
DOM offerings_by_fire YHWH food/grain/bread God,their they present
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The phrase the bread of their God clarifies the meaning of the phrase gifts of Yahweh. You can translate this parallelism into one statement that conveys this relationship. It may be helpful to review how you translated the possessive expression gifts of Yahweh in 2:2. Alternate translation: “they are presending the gifts of Yahweh, that is, the bread of their God” or “they are presenting the food gifts offered to Yahweh, their God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֶ֧חֶם אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם
food/grain/bread God,their
This expression uses bread to represent food in general. Furthermore, this expression uses the possessive form to describe bread (that is, food) that is characterized by the fact that it is offered to God. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gifts of food that people offer to their God”
וְהָ֥יוּ קֹֽדֶשׁ
and=they_will_be holy
Alternate translation: “and so they must be holy”
