to=know DOM how_~_was ʼEşttēr and,how happening in/on/at/with,her
This is background information that explains why Mordecai would walk around in front of the courtyard. It was so that he could ask people who were going into or coming out of the courtyard how Esther was doing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could place this first in the verse because it explains the rest of what is said.

Alternate translation: “how Esther was doing” or “about Esther’s well-being”

how_~_was ʼEşttēr and,how happening in/on/at/with,her
These two phrases mean similar things. The story is using the repetition to emphasize how concerned Mordecai was for Esther. You could combine them and say, “how Esther was doing” or “if Esther was all right.”
