"Please do not kill us because we caused this man to die" or "We are going to cause this man to die. But please do not kill us"
# do not lay upon us the guilt of his death
# do not put innocent blood on us
"please do not blame us for his death" or "do not consider us guilty when this man dies." The author speaks of "guilt" as if it were an object that can be placed on top of a person. It refers to making that person accountable for their actions. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
Blood is a metonym for the death of a person, and to put or lay blood on people is to make them responsible for that person's death. Alternate translation: "do not make us responsible for the death of an innocent man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
