must not dishonor the holy things
This can be stated in positive form. AT: "must treat the holy things with honor" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives)
that they have raised high and presented
The phrase "raised high" refers to a symbolic gesture of respect that represents offering something to Yahweh. It means basically the same thing as "presented." AT: "that they have offered" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
cause themselves to carry the sin that would make them guilty
Sin is spoken of as if it were an object that people can carry. Possible meanings are 1) they would be responsible for the sin and so become guilty. AT: "they would be guilty for the sin that they committed" or 2) the word "sin" is a metonym for punishment for the sin that they committed. AT: "they would receive the punishment because they are guilty" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
