It doesn't translate. The trailing -n on the main clause is a mild emphatic that grammatically turns it into a noun phrase, so then you use the copula (da) to finish the sentence. My suggestion would have been "-n dakara" to preserve the nuance you'd already given, but you could have also said "ukeru kara".
