UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

בַ⁠יּוֹם־הַ֠⁠הוּא

in/on/at/with,day (the)=that

This is a flexible expression that can mean either on that same day or around that time. But since this verse continues to describe the celebrations for the dedication of the wall, here it likely means on that same day.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּ֤י הָ⁠אֱלֹהִים֙ שִׂמְּחָ⁠ם֙ שִׂמְחָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֔ה

that/for/because/then/when the=ʼElohīm made_~_rejoice,them joy great

The abstract noun rejoicing describes how happy the people were as they held this celebration to dedicate the wall. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with an adjective such as happy. Alternate translation: “God had made them all very happy”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠תִּשָּׁמַ֛ע שִׂמְחַ֥ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם מֵ⁠רָחֽוֹק

and,heard joy Yerushalayim at,far

In this case the abstract noun rejoicing refers to the loud sound that the singers and the people made as they held the ceremony to dedicate the rebuilt wall. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this abstract noun with a concrete noun such as “sound.” Alternate translation: “the sound that the people made as they celebrated in Jerusalem was so loud that even other people who were far away could hear it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תִּשָּׁמַ֛ע שִׂמְחַ֥ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם מֵ⁠רָחֽוֹק

and,heard joy Yerushalayim at,far

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 sound that the people made as they celebrated in Jerusalem was so loud that even other people who were far away could hear it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

שִׂמְחַ֥ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם

Here the story speaks of Jerusalem as if it were a living thing that could celebrate. Alternate translation: “the sound that the people made as they celebrated in Jerusalem”
