The word “house” is a metonym for the people who lived in the house. See how you translated this in 1 Samuel 2:27. Alternate translation: “the family of your ancestor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
(Occurrence 0) should walk before me
(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence declares YHWH god Yisrael to_promise promised house,your and,house I_will_show=you(ms) walk to/for=my=face/front until forever and=now declares YHWH far_be_it!, to/for=me that/for/because/then/when honor,me honour and,despise,me lightly_esteemed )
This is an idiom that means “live in obedience to me.”
(Occurrence 0) Far be it from me to do this
(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence declares YHWH god Yisrael to_promise promised house,your and,house I_will_show=you(ms) walk to/for=my=face/front until forever and=now declares YHWH far_be_it!, to/for=me that/for/because/then/when honor,me honour and,despise,me lightly_esteemed )

The words “lightly esteemed” is an ironic euphemism for “greatly despised.” 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: “I will lightly esteem those who despise me” or “I will greatly despise those who despise me” (See also: figs-euphemism and figs-activepassive)
