וַ⁠יֵּלְכ֨וּ כָל־הָ⁠עָ֜ם לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֤ל וְ⁠לִ⁠שְׁתּוֹת֙ וּ⁠לְ⁠שַׁלַּ֣ח מָנ֔וֹת וְ⁠לַ⁠עֲשׂ֖וֹת שִׂמְחָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֑ה

and,went all the,people to,eat and,to,drink and,to,send portions and,to,make joy great

If it would be helpful in your language, you could put the last phrase at the beginning of the sentence since it gives the reason for the rest of the actions. Alternate translation: “So the people celebrated by eating and drinking and sharing with the poor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֤ל וְ⁠לִ⁠שְׁתּוֹת֙

to,eat and,to,drink

The implication is that they enjoyed the special food and drink described in 8:10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “eating rich foods and drinking sweet drinks”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֤ל וְ⁠לִ⁠שְׁתּוֹת֙

to,eat and,to,drink

Eating and drinking are used together here to convey a single idea, celebrating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine them into a single phrase. Alternate translation: “celebrating with festive meals”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠לְ⁠שַׁלַּ֣ח מָנ֔וֹת

and,to,send portions

The implication is that they sent these portions to the poor, who would not have been able to afford rich food and drink, as described in 8:10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “sharing with the poor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠לַ⁠עֲשׂ֖וֹת שִׂמְחָ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֑ה

and,to,make joy great

כִּ֤י הֵבִ֨ינוּ֙ בַּ⁠דְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הוֹדִ֖יעוּ לָ⁠הֶֽם

that/for/because/then/when understood in/on/at/with,words which/who known to/for=them

The implication is that the leaders helped the people recognize that being able to understand Yahweh’s law should be a source of joy and encouragement to them. They should not be sad or discouraged because they had disobeyed in the past, because now they would know how to obey. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “because now that they were able to understand God’s law, they would be able to obey it in the future”

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֤י הֵבִ֨ינוּ֙ בַּ⁠דְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הוֹדִ֖יעוּ לָ⁠הֶֽם

that/for/because/then/when understood in/on/at/with,words which/who known to/for=them

If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this phrase at the beginning of the verse since it gives the reason for the rest of the actions that the verse describes. You could show the connection by using a word like “so” after this phrase. Alternate translation: “the people realized that they would be able to obey God’s law in the future because now they were able to understand it. So …”
