OET interlinear EST 1:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וַ⁠תְּמָאֵ֞ן הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֣ה וַשְׁתִּ֗י לָ⁠בוֹא֙

and,refused the,queen Vashti to,come

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

and,refused the,queen Vashti to,come

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

in/on/at/with,command the=king

Alternate translation: “at the king’s command” or “what the king wanted”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יַ֣ד הַ⁠סָּרִיסִ֑ים

in/on/at/with,hand_of the=officials

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

the=officials

See how you translated this term in 1:10.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יִּקְצֹ֤ף הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַ⁠חֲמָת֖⁠וֹ בָּעֲרָ֥ה בֽ⁠וֹ

and,became_~_angry the=king very and,anger,his burned 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,anger,his burned 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.”
