(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when known deed_of of,the_queen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women to,make_despicable husbands_of,their in,eyes_of,their because,they,will_say the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen before,,him and=not come )

This introduces the reason why Memukan says that Queen Vashti has done wrong against all the men in the kingdom and not only against King Ahasuerus. To show that, you can begin with “This is what will happen.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

יֵצֵ֤א דְבַר־הַ⁠מַּלְכָּה֙ עַל־כָּל־הַ⁠נָּשִׁ֔ים

known deed_of (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when known deed_of of,the_queen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women to,make_despicable husbands_of,their in,eyes_of,their because,they,will_say the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen before,,him and=not come )

To emphasize his point, Memukan exaggerates and says that every single woman in the empire will hear about Queen Vashti refusing to obey King Ahasuerus. You could say, as UST does, that “women all over the empire” will hear about what the queen did. Or you could preserve Memukan’s manner of speaking by saying, “every woman” will hear.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠הַבְז֥וֹת בַּעְלֵי⁠הֶ֖ן בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠הֶ֑ן

to,make_despicable (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when known deed_of of,the_queen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women to,make_despicable husbands_of,their in,eyes_of,their because,they,will_say the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen before,,him and=not come )

Here, eyes stand for seeing, and seeing means knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. The phrase means that the women will treat their husbands with disrespect and not obey them. Alternate translation: [women will despise their husbands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠אָמְרָ֗⁠ם הַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֡וֹשׁ אָמַ֞ר לְ⁠הָבִ֨יא אֶת־וַשְׁתִּ֧י הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֛ה לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו וְ⁠לֹא־בָֽאָה

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when known deed_of of,the_queen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women to,make_despicable husbands_of,their in,eyes_of,their because,they,will_say the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen before,,him and=not come )

The implication is that they will go on to say, “So if even the queen can disobey the king, why should I have to obey my husband?” If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly.

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

הַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֡וֹשׁ אָמַ֞ר לְ⁠הָבִ֨יא אֶת־וַשְׁתִּ֧י הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֛ה לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו וְ⁠לֹא־בָֽאָה

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when known deed_of of,the_queen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women to,make_despicable husbands_of,their in,eyes_of,their because,they,will_say the=king ʼAḩashvērōsh he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen before,,him and=not come )

The women will stop respecting their husbands after they hear about this. You can put this report about what Queen Vashti did first, before “women will stop respecting their husbands,” because it is the reason that explains that result.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו

before,,him

Here, face means the presence of a person. The phrase means the Queen Vashti refused to come into the presence of King Ahasuerus when he summoned her during the feast. See how you translated this in verse 11.
