UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וּ⁠מָרְדֳּכַ֞י יָצָ֣א

and,Mordecai he/it_went_forth

This introduces a new event in the story. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֗לֶךְ

from=to/for=face/front/presence the=king

Here, face represents the presence of a person. This phrase means that Mordecai had been in the presence of King Ahasuerus and was now leaving in order to fulfill his duties as a high official in the Persian government. Alternate translation: “from the palace”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּ⁠לְב֤וּשׁ מַלְכוּת֙ תְּכֵ֣לֶת וָ⁠ח֔וּר וַ⁠עֲטֶ֤רֶת זָהָב֙ גְּדוֹלָ֔ה וְ⁠תַכְרִ֥יךְ בּ֖וּץ וְ⁠אַרְגָּמָ֑ן

in/on/at/with,robes royal blue and,white and,crown gold great and,robe fine_linen and,purple

The implication is that the king gave Mordecai these special things to wear to show that he was now his highest officer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. To put these events in chronological order, you could place this information before the report that Mordecai left the king’s presence to fulfill his duties.

בִּ⁠לְב֤וּשׁ מַלְכוּת֙ תְּכֵ֣לֶת

in/on/at/with,robes royal blue

Alternate translation: “a blue and white garment that the king had worn”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

צָהֲלָ֖ה וְ⁠שָׂמֵֽחָה

shouted and,rejoiced

צָהֲלָ֖ה וְ⁠שָׂמֵֽחָה
