BrLXX Εἶπον αὐτοῖς, εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν πᾶς ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἂν προσέλθῃ ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ σπέρματος ὑμῶν πρὸς τὰ ἅγια, ὅσα ἂν ἁγιάζωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἡ ἀκαθαρσία αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ᾖ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquote

אֱמֹ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם לְדֹרֹ֨תֵיכֶ֜ם

say (Some words not found in UHB: say to,them throughout,generations,your_all's all/each/any/every (a)_man which/who approaches from=all descendants,your_all's to/towards the,sacred_donations which/who consecrate sons_of Yisrael to/for=YHWH and,uncleanness,his on/upon/above=him/it and,cut_off the=living_creatures the=that from,to/for,presence,my I YHWH )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Tell them that to their generations”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לְדֹרֹ֨תֵיכֶ֜ם & מִכָּל־ זַרְעֲכֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: say to,them throughout,generations,your_all's all/each/any/every (a)_man which/who approaches from=all descendants,your_all's to/towards the,sacred_donations which/who consecrate sons_of Yisrael to/for=YHWH and,uncleanness,his on/upon/above=him/it and,cut_off the=living_creatures the=that from,to/for,presence,my I YHWH )

Here, the word your is plural and refers to the Israelite priests, the male descendants of Aaron. If you chose to make this verse indirect speech (as the previous note suggested), it may be helpful to change the second-person pronouns to the third person. Alternate translation: “to their generations…from all their seed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּל־ אִ֣ישׁ

all/each/any/every (a)_man

Here, the word man refers to any male descendant of Aaron who serves as a priest. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “any priest”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִכָּל־ זַרְעֲכֶ֗ם

This expression uses a metaphor to relate the word seed to one’s children. Whether semen was thought of to resemble plant seed is unclear, although the same word is used to refer to both (see 11:17 and 15:16 for reference). It your language uses a similar metaphor, consider using it here. If not consider using a generic expression. See how you translated this metaphor in 20:2. Alternate translation: “from all your children” or “from all your descendants”

Note 5 topic: writing-poetry

אֶל־ הַקֳּדָשִׁים֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַקְדִּ֤ישׁוּ בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה

to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: say to,them throughout,generations,your_all's all/each/any/every (a)_man which/who approaches from=all descendants,your_all's to/towards the,sacred_donations which/who consecrate sons_of Yisrael to/for=YHWH and,uncleanness,his on/upon/above=him/it and,cut_off the=living_creatures the=that from,to/for,presence,my I YHWH )

Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase have made holy translates a verb that is related to the noun translated as holy things. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation. If not, consider using a generic expression: “to the holy things that the sons of Israel are presenting to Yahweh as holy offerings”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠טֻמְאָת֖⁠וֹ עָלָ֑י⁠ו

and,uncleanness,his on/upon/above=him/it

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uncleanness, you could express the same idea in another way. It may be helpful to see how you translated this abstract noun in 5:3. Alternate translation: “while he is unclean” or “and he is unclean”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְנִכְרְתָ֞ה הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ הַהִ֛וא מִלְּפָנַ֖י

See how you translated the similar expression in 7:20.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִלְּפָנַ֖י

Here, face represents the presence of a person. In this expression, the priest who offers sacrifices while he is unclean must be removed from Yahweh’s presence—that is, he must be exiled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from my presence” or “from the place where I live among the Israelites”
