(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was as,when heard Şanⱱallaţ and,Tobiah and,the,Arabs and,the,Ammonites and,the,Ashdodites that/for/because/then/when going_forward repair of,walls_of Yerushalayim that/for/because/then/when beginning the,gaps to,closed and=it_glowed/burned to/for=them very )
Nehemiah uses this phrase to introduce the next event in his story. You do not need to represent it in your translation unless your language has a similar expression that it characteristically uses.
Note 2 topic: translate-names

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was as,when heard Şanⱱallaţ and,Tobiah and,the,Arabs and,the,Ammonites and,the,Ashdodites that/for/because/then/when going_forward repair of,walls_of Yerushalayim that/for/because/then/when beginning the,gaps to,closed and=it_glowed/burned to/for=them very )
This is a man’s name. See how you translated this in 2:10.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיִּ֣חַר ל֔וֹ וַיִּכְעַ֖ס הַרְבֵּ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was as,when heard Şanⱱallaţ and,Tobiah and,the,Arabs and,the,Ammonites and,the,Ashdodites that/for/because/then/when going_forward repair of,walls_of Yerushalayim that/for/because/then/when beginning the,gaps to,closed and=it_glowed/burned to/for=them very )
These two phrases mean similar things. Nehemiah uses the repetition to emphasize how angry Sanballat was. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases and say something like “he became furiously angry” or “he became very angry”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיִּ֣חַר ל֔וֹ וַיִּכְעַ֖ס
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was as,when heard Şanⱱallaţ and,Tobiah and,the,Arabs and,the,Ammonites and,the,Ashdodites that/for/because/then/when going_forward repair of,walls_of Yerushalayim that/for/because/then/when beginning the,gaps to,closed and=it_glowed/burned to/for=them very )
Here Nehemiah says that Sanballat’s anger was a fire that burned inside of him. Alternate translation: “he became furious”
OET (OET-LV) [fn] and_he/it_was as_when he_heard Şanⱱallaţ and_Ţōⱱiyyāh and_the_ˊArāⱱī and_the_ˊAmmōnī and_the_ʼAshdōdites if/because_that it_had_gone_up [the]_repair of_walls_of of_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) if/because_that they_had_begun the_gaps to_closed and_it_glowed/burned to/for_them exceedingly.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
