That means "they will lose nothing and they will not lose their chains". 
{cumki jinga} should be {ka'e jinga}. Here's a possible translation:

   no da po'u nai tu'a lo linsi zo'u lo gunka ka'e cirko da .i ku'i ra 
ka'e tolcirko tu'a lo munje

You can move {lo gunka} first and remove the prenex, but make sure to 
keep {no da} in front of {ka'e}:

   lo gunka no da po'u nai tu'a lo linsi ka'e cirko

Unnecessary {cu}, and I assume you used {ba'e} for the capitalization. 
Use {la} instead, e.g. {casnu la nundamba pe lo ka zasti}.

{lo cisma} is someone who smiles, I'd say {lo nuncisma}. After {mu'i} it 
has to be {lo nu} to wrap the sentence into a sumti so that it can be 
the argument of {mu'i}. My stab:

   ko'oi ma'a ro roi pensi'u fau lo nuncisma .i ki'u bo lo nuncisma cu 
tolfa'o lo nunprami

(instead of {nun-} you can always use {nu} if you want)

mi'e la selpa'i mu'o
