Let them not grieve you read yuhzinka or yahzunka from 1st form hazanahu ‘he made him grieve’ an alternative expression to 4th form ahzanahu ‘he made him grieve’ those that vie with one another in unbelief succumbing to it promptly by supporting it namely the Meccans or the hypocrites in other words do not be concerned for their unbelief; they will not hurt God at all by their actions only hurting themselves. God desires not to assign them any portion any lot in the Hereafter that is in Paradise and that is why God forsook them; and theirs is a mighty chastisement in the Fire.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
Then Allah mentioned how the hypocrites hastened to ally themselves with the Jews, saying: (Let not their conduct grieve thee) O Muhammad, or sadden you, (who run easily) who hasten (to disbelief) the hastening of the hypocrites to ally themselves with the Jews, (for Lo! they injure Allah not at all) they will not harm Allah by hastening to join the Jews as allies. (It is Allah's will) Allah wants (to assign them) i.e. the Jews and hypocrites (no portion) no share (in the Hereafter) in Paradise, (and theirs will be an awful doom) as awful as can be.
