Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִשְׁמַע֩ פִּתְגָ֨ם הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ
and,proclaimed decree the=king
You can say this with an active form, and you can say who will do the action. Alternate translation: “when everyone … hears”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
פִּתְגָ֨ם הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ
decree the=king
Memukan speaks to the king in third person as a form of respect. You could express the same meaning in the second person: “When they hear what you have commanded.” Alternate translation: “when they hear the king’s decree”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶֽׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה֙ בְּכָל־מַלְכוּת֔וֹ
that he/it_made/did in=all his/its=kingdom
Even though the decree of Ahasuerus applied only to Vashti directly, implicitly it meant that all wives had to obey their husbands or else their husbands could banish and divorce them as well. You can say this explicitly at the end of the verse by saying, “because if any wife disobeys her husband, he can banish and divorce her, just as you did to Vashti.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
מַלְכוּת֔וֹ
his/its=kingdom
Memukan speaks to the king in third person as a form of respect. Alternate translation: “for all your kingdom”
כִּ֥י רַבָּ֖ה הִ֑יא
that/for/because/then/when enough/great(fs) she/it
Alternate translation: “even though your empire is very large”
הַנָּשִׁ֗ים יִתְּנ֤וּ יְקָר֙ לְבַעְלֵיהֶ֔ן
the,women give honor to,husbands,their
Alternate translation: “women will respect and obey their husbands”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
לְמִגָּד֖וֹל וְעַד־קָטָֽן
to,from,greatest and=unto least
This expression refers to all of the husbands in the empire. By naming both extremes, it includes everyone in between. You could just give the meaning, as UST does: “every husband in the empire.” Alternate translation: “this will be true for both the most important man and the least important man in the empire, and everyone in between”

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.
