UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠עֲל֣וֹת עַֽל־מִזְבְּחִ֗⁠י

to,go_up on/upon altar_of,my

Yahweh assumes that Eli will know what he means by the phrase to go up on my altar. This could mean: (1) that Yahweh chose the family of Aaron to do specific work at his altar. Alternate translation: [to approach my altar] or [to serve at my altar] (2) that Yahweh chose the family of Aaron to offer sacrifices on his altar. Alternate translation: [to offer sacrifices on my altar]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וָֽ⁠אֶתְּנָ⁠ה֙ לְ⁠בֵ֣ית אָבִ֔י⁠ךָ

and,gave, to,house_of I_will_show=you(ms)

Yahweh is using the term house by association to mean the household or family of Aaron, and in this context specifically his descendants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to your ancestor Aaron and to his descendants]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

אֶת־כָּל־אִשֵּׁ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

DOM all/each/any/every fire_offerings_of sons_of Yisrael

When Yahweh says all, he means “some of every,” not everything entirely. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a portion of every animal that the Israelites sacrificed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

sons_of Yisrael

See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Samuel of this use of the expression the sons of a person to mean the nation or tribe that consists of his descendants. Decide how you will translate it throughout the book. Alternate translation: [the Israelites]
