Grammar Rules

Verb form IV — causative
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم (And surely, We will let them taste) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").
We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم (And surely, We will let them taste) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم (And surely, We will let them taste) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Sahih International

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].
