כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי֙ אֶת־זַֽעֲקָתָ֔⁠ם וְ⁠אֵ֖ת הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֥ים הָ⁠אֵֽלֶּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_glowed/burnt to=me very just=as I_heard DOM outcry_of,their and=DOM the,words the=these )

Outcry is an abstract noun that refers to complaints that the poorer Jews made to Nehemiah about how the wealthier and more powerful Jews were treating them. You can translate the idea behind this word with a verb such as “complain.” Alternate translation: [when I heard how they were complaining]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אֶת־זַֽעֲקָתָ֔⁠ם וְ⁠אֵ֖ת הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֥ים הָ⁠אֵֽלֶּה

DOM outcry_of,their and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=it_glowed/burnt to=me very just=as I_heard DOM outcry_of,their and=DOM the,words the=these )

These two short phrases mean similar things. They are used together to emphasize the urgency and severity of these complaints. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: [everything that they were complaining about]
