UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יִּשְׁחָ֗ט

and,slaughtered

The one who offered a sacrifice would usually be the one who would slaughter the animal for that sacrifice. However, in this case, even though Moses is offering the sacrifice, the pronoun he likely refers to Aaron, acting together with his sons. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making the referent plain. Alternate translation: “And Aaron and his sons slaughtered it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּקַּ֨ח מֹשֶׁ֤ה אֶת־הַ⁠דָּם֙

and=he/it_took Mosheh DOM the,blood

See how you handled the implied information in this expression in 1:5.

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יְחַטֵּ֖א אֶת־הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ

and,purified DOM the,altar

Here, he purified the altar means that his symbolic action cleansed it from the impurity caused by the presence of sin. By putting blood on the horns of the altar and pouring blood on the altar’s base, Moses uses the cleansing power of blood to purify the altar and prepare it to be a vessel through which acceptable sacrifices might be offered. If this would be unclear in your language, consider clarifying by adding words in your translation or by supplying a footnote. Alternate translation: “And, by putting blood on the altar, he purified the altar from the impurity of sin in order to make it an acceptable place to offer sacrifices to Yahweh”

Here, the word to marks making atonement on the altar as the goal or purpose of Moses purifying the altar. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: “And he made it holy. He did this so that atonement might be made on it”
