Macbeth uses euphemisms to describe Duncan's murder because he feels very uncomfortable about the idea - probably because in the Jacobean period, when Shakespeare was writing the murder of a monarch was seen as an act of heresy. (Divine Right of Kings) Therefore, Macbeth would be aware that if he goes through with the murder he will go to hell. The fact that he still "yields" to the idea shows his inherent character flaws and his weak will.
