Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
מַחְשִׁ֤ים לְכָל־הָעָם֙
calmed to/from=all/each/any/every the,people
These are two overstatements that emphasize how encouraging the Levites were trying to be. All the people does not mean everyone in the crowd, but those who were crying. Be silent does not mean “say nothing” or “make no noise,” but “stop crying.” (Certainly the Levites hoped that these people would soon be talking and laughing with others at celebration meals.) Alternate translation: “encouraged the people who were weeping to stop crying”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
הַ֔סּוּ כִּ֥י הַיּ֖וֹם קָדֹ֑שׁ וְאַל־תֵּעָצֵֽבוּ
be_still that/for/because/then/when the=day holy and,not grieved
If it would be helpful in your language, you could put your translation of “for today is holy” first since it gives the reason for the resulting actions in the other two phrases. You could also show the connection by using a word such as “so.” Alternate translation: “This is a day of celebration, so stop crying now, and do not be sad”
הַ֔סּוּ
be_still
This is a word that signals to a person that they should be quiet. If your language has a similar expression, you can use it in your translation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could also give the meaning in this context. Alternate translation: “Shhh” or “Stop crying now”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְאַל־תֵּעָצֵֽבוּ
and,not grieved
If you expressed the idea behind this phrase with an active form in 8:10 and you said there what was causing the action, you would not need to repeat that information here. Alternate translation: “do not be sad”
