OET (OET-RV) Finally when the 13th of March arrived, it was time for everyone to do what the letters from the king said that he had decreed for them to do. The enemies of the Jews had expected to destroy the Jews on that day but just the opposite happened—instead, it was the Jews who destroyed their enemies.
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
וּבִשְׁנֵים֩ עָשָׂ֨ר חֹ֜דֶשׁ
and,in/on/at/with,two ten month
This introduces a new event. Use a natural way in your language to indicate a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּבִשְׁנֵים֩ עָשָׂ֨ר חֹ֜דֶשׁ הוּא־חֹ֣דֶשׁ אֲדָ֗ר בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֨ה עָשָׂ֥ר יוֹם֙ בּ֔וֹ
and,in/on/at/with,two ten month he/it month Adar in/on/at/with,three ten day in/on/over=him/it
The implication is that this happened in the twelfth month of the same year that the letters were sent out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of that year, the month of Adar”
Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal
וּבִשְׁנֵים֩ עָשָׂ֨ר חֹ֜דֶשׁ
and,in/on/at/with,two ten month
Alternate translation: “now in the twelfth month”
Note 4 topic: translate-hebrewmonths
הוּא־חֹ֣דֶשׁ אֲדָ֗ר
he/it month Adar
Adar is the name of the twelfth and last month of the Hebrew calendar. See how you translated this in 3:7, 3:13, and 8:12.
Note 5 topic: translate-ordinal

in/on/at/with,three ten day in/on/over=him/it

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִגִּ֧יעַ דְּבַר־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְדָת֖וֹ לְהֵעָשׂ֑וֹת
which/who arrived word/matter_of the=king and,edict,his to,executed
This expression describes the king’s decree as if it had traveled through time (as a person travels through space) and reached this particular day. This phrase means that it was time for people to obey the decree. Alternate translation: “when the time came for people to obey the king’s law and decree” or “when it was the day established in the king’s letters for people to carry out the king’s law”
בַּיּ֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר שִׂבְּר֜וּ אֹיְבֵ֤י הַיְּהוּדִים֙ לִשְׁל֣וֹט בָּהֶ֔ם
in_the=day which/who hoped enemies the,Jews to,gain_power (is)_in=them
Alternate translation: “the enemies of the Jews had expected to defeat the Jews on that day”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לִשְׁל֣וֹט
to,gain_power
This word usually means “to rule over,” but here it means “to have power over, to be able to destroy.”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְנַהֲפ֣וֹךְ
and,changed
Saying that a situation was turned over is a figurative way of saying that what happened was the opposite of what was expected. Alternate translation: “the situation was reversed” or “the opposite happened”
ה֔וּא אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁלְט֧וּ הַיְּהוּדִ֛ים הֵ֖מָּה בְּשֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם
he/it which/who gain_power the,Jews they(emph) in/on/at/with,hated,them
Alternate translation: “Instead, it was the Jews themselves who destroyed their enemies”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּשֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם
in/on/at/with,hated,them
This is an idiom that describes enemies
9:1 on March 7: When that fateful day arrived, there were many enemies of the Jews who wanted to carry out Haman’s wishes.
