וְאֵ֣ין הָעָ֗ם מַכִּירִים֙
and,not the,people distinguish
The word So indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “As a result the people could not differentiate”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וְאֵ֣ין הָעָ֗ם מַכִּירִים֙ ק֚וֹל תְּרוּעַ֣ת הַשִּׂמְחָ֔ה לְק֖וֹל בְּכִ֣י הָעָ֑ם כִּ֣י הָעָ֗ם מְרִיעִים֙ תְּרוּעָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֔ה
and,not the,people distinguish sound/voice shout the,joyful to=sound/voice weeping the,people that/for/because/then/when the,people shouted shout loudly
If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Because the people who were happy were shouting so loudly, no one could distinguish their cries from the sounds of weeping of the other people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְאֵ֣ין הָעָ֗ם מַכִּירִים֙ ק֚וֹל תְּרוּעַ֣ת הַשִּׂמְחָ֔ה לְק֖וֹל בְּכִ֣י הָעָ֑ם כִּ֣י הָעָ֗ם מְרִיעִים֙ תְּרוּעָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֔ה
and,not the,people distinguish sound/voice shout the,joyful to=sound/voice weeping the,people that/for/because/then/when the,people shouted shout loudly
In its first occurrence here, the phrase the people means all the Israelites who had gathered for this ceremony. In its second occurrence, the phrase refers to one group of them, the older leaders who had seen the first temple and were weeping. In its third occurrence, it refers to another group of them, the younger Israelites who were shouting for joy. Alternate translation: “Because the people who were happy were shouting so loudly, no one at the ceremony could distinguish their cries from the sounds of the people who were weeping”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְהַקּ֥וֹל נִשְׁמַ֖ע עַד־לְמֵרָחֽוֹק
and,the,sound heard until to,at,afar
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “the combined sound was so loud that those who lived far away from Jerusalem could hear it”
