They
the Levites (Ezekiel 44:10)
They will not come near
"I will not permit them to come near." Yahweh does not want them to come to him the way a servant comes to a king to receive commands, as the descendants of Zadok will do (Ezekiel 40:46).
will bear their reproach and their guilt
"will be ashamed and suffer when I punish them"
disgusting practices
"the disgusting things you do." God was angry because the people were worshiping idols and false gods. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:9.
