כִּֽי
that/for/because/then/when
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 the,queen's on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,women
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
with,contempt husbands,their in/on/at/with,look,them
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
in/on/at/with,say,they the=king ʼₐḩashəvērōshz he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen to,presence,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
the=king ʼₐḩashəvērōshz he/it_had_said to=bring DOM Vashti the,queen to,presence,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
to,presence,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.
1:17 Women everywhere will begin to despise their husbands: Fear of consequences rather than facts or law motivated the council’s decision.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
