ULT And a person, when he sins and he hears the sound of a curse and he is a witness (whether he saw or he knew), if he does not declare it, then he shall carry his iniquity.

UST It may happen that a person hears someone publicly pronounce a curse against a person who did harm to them. If the individual witnessed the publicly spoken curse, it does not matter whether the individual saw the harmful action or if he only knew about it. If he does not testify in court against the person who did the harmful action, then he has done wrong against the person who pronounced the curse. He is now responsible for addressing his wrongdoing.

BSB § “If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.

וְ⁠נֶ֣פֶשׁ כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֗א וְ⁠שָֽׁמְעָה֙

and,person that/for/because/then/when sins and,hears

Although the words translated a person is feminine, it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. If your language has a generic word for an individual that is grammatically feminine, consider using it here, or use a generic noun. See how you handled the similar phrase in 2:1 and 4:1. Alternate translation: “And when any person sins, and he hears” or “And when someone sins, and he hears”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ק֣וֹל אָלָ֔ה

sound/voice public_adjuration

The sound of a curse is an idiom that refers to someone hearing a publicly spoken imprecatory curse against the perpetrator of a crime which has harmed the individual who speaks the curse (see the parallel text in Proverbs 29:24). The implication of this verse is that if the individual who hears the curse against the perpetrator of the crime fails to testify against that individual in the context of the judicial system, then he must carry his iniquity (for this phrase, see the next note). Alternate translation: “someone pronouncing a curse against someone who has wronged them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נָשָׂ֥א עֲוֺנֽ⁠וֹ

and,bear guilt,his

The expression he shall carry his iniquity refers to being responsible to make restitution for the guilt acquired by an individual’s wrongdoing, whether intentional or unintentional. If your language has a similar idiom, consider using it here. If not, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “then he is now responsible to make restitution for his wrongdoing”
