UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

תֵּשְׁב֨וּ & וּ⁠שְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם & וְ⁠לֹ֣א תָמ֑וּתוּ

remain & and,keep & and=not die

Here, the pronoun you is plural. It refers to Aaron and his sons, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

וּ⁠שְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת יְהוָ֖ה

and,keep DOM charge YHWH

Words from the same root are repeated for emphasis. The word watch is from the same root as the verb keep. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠שְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת יְהוָ֖ה

and,keep DOM charge YHWH

To keep the watch of Yahweh does not mean to stand and guard the entrance to the sacred tent. Rather, the expression implies carefully avoiding Yahweh’s prohibitions, the things Yahweh has commanded his people not to do. If this meaning would not be clear, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you will carefully keep Yahweh’s laws about what you are not to do”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠לֹ֣א תָמ֑וּתוּ

and=not die

The phrase and you will not die is the result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: ”and by doing this, you will not die”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כִּי־כֵ֖ן צֻוֵּֽיתִי׃

that/for/because/then/when so (Some words not found in UHB: and,entrance tent/house meeting remain day and,night seven days and,keep DOM charge YHWH and=not die that/for/because/then/when so commanded )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “because thus Yahweh commanded me”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּי־כֵ֖ן צֻוֵּֽיתִי׃

The word translated as because 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, with a period before: “You should do all this because thus I have been commanded”

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

צֻוֵּֽיתִי׃

(Some words not found in UHB: and,entrance tent/house meeting remain day and,night seven days and,keep DOM charge YHWH and=not die that/for/because/then/when so commanded )

Here the pronoun I refers to Moses. IIt may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “I, Moses, have been commanded”
