Spanish term or phrase: Ya

Context:

DOE: Ven, ciérralo ya - ya - ya.

Buenas,
Estoy traduciendo una 911 CALL y me pregunto cual sería la forma más correcta de traducir la expresión "ya" cuando se usa sola con el sentido de consolar a alguien. Esta traducción es para los Estados Unidos. En el ejemplo el hablante le habla otra persona que se encuentra en estado de shock y llorando.
he visto otro post con el mismo uso pero no me convencen las respuestas.

It's ok,it's ok

Explanation:
One option, used in situations to calm somebody. I don't think other options like "There, there" or "Stay calm" would be appropriate in the context.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Sí finalmente usé está opción, que ya la había pensado, el hecho de trabajar con traducciones "strict verbatim" es que a aveces cambiar una palabra por una oración o frase suele tener mala devolución. Pero quedó muy bien! gracias!

Asker: a veces*
