OET (OET-LV) And_she_refused the_queen Vashti to_come at_the_message_of the_king which was_by_the_hand_of the_officials and_he_was_angry the_king exceedingly and_rage_of_his it_burnt in_him/it.

OET (OET-RV) The servants told her Ahasuerus’s command, but Queen Vashti refused to come. When they reported back to Ahasuerus, he was furious and sat there raging for a while.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:10–22: Queen Vashti disobeyed the king and he removed her from her position as queen

Towards the end of the feast, when he had drunk too much wine, the king sent a message, ordering the queen to come to him so that he could show off her beauty to his guests. But she probably did not wish to be seen by a crowd of drunken, leering men, and so she refused. The king was very angry about the queen’s disobedience and asked his advisors what the law said about how she should be punished. The advisors said that the king should divorce the queen, in order to show all wives in the empire that they must obey their husbands. The king was pleased with this advice and issued a decree to inform everyone about it.

1:12a

Queen Vashti, however, refused to come at the king’s command brought by his eunuchs.

1:12b

And the king became furious, and his anger burned within him.

became furious, and his anger burned within him: The Hebrew uses two expressions to show how very angry the king was. You need to decide whether you should use two expressions in your language or just one very strong expression to show the same thing.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וַ⁠תְּמָאֵ֞ן הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֣ה וַשְׁתִּ֗י לָ⁠בוֹא֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

You can put the events in chronological order and say first that the eunuchs told Vashti what the king had commanded and then say that she refused to come.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תְּמָאֵ֞ן הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֣ה וַשְׁתִּ֗י לָ⁠בוֹא֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

If your language needs to give a reason why she refused, it is most likely because she did not want a group of drunken men staring at her lustfully.

בִּ⁠דְבַ֣ר הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

Alternate translation: [at the king’s command] or [what the king wanted]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יַ֣ד הַ⁠סָּרִיסִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

Here, hand refers to the eunuchs themselves, viewed through their action of telling Vashti what the king had commanded. Alternation translation: “when those servants told Queen Vashti what the king wanted”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

הַ⁠סָּרִיסִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

See how you translated this term in [1:10](../01/10.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יִּקְצֹ֤ף הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַ⁠חֲמָת֖⁠וֹ בָּעֲרָ֥ה בֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

These two phrases mean similar things. The repetition is used to emphasize the idea that they are expressing. You could combine them as UST does by saying, “The king became so angry that he could barely contain himself.”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠חֲמָת֖⁠וֹ בָּעֲרָ֥ה בֽ⁠וֹ

and,rage_of,his (Some words not found in UHB: and,she_refused the,queen Vashti to,come at,the_word_of the=king which/who [was]_by,the_hand_of the=officials and,he_was_angry the=king very and,rage_of,his burnt in=him/it )

Here the story uses a metaphor that pictures the king’s anger as a fire that burned inside of him. If your language has a different word picture that it uses to describe extreme anger, you can use that here. If not, you can translate plainly, “his anger continued to increase.”
