Por mucho que lo intenten......How translated?

Context: Por mucho que lo intenten, nunca lograrán silenciarnos.
I know that "intenter" is "to try". And the last part is "they will never silence us". I'm having trouble with the first part, "por mucho que lo intenten".
My attempt:
"that they try much"

However hard they try, they will never manage to silence us.
The golden rule is, don't translate word for word. Translate meaning and context.
