OET (OET-LV) And_he_sent_out documents to all_of the_provinces_of the_king to province and_province according_to_of_its_writing and_near/to people and_people according_to_of_its_language to_be every_of man ruling over_his_own_of_household and_speaking according_to_the_language_of his_people_of_his.

OET (OET-RV) and sent letters to every province in his empire. He wrote to every province using its own alphabet and to each people group in its own language. The letters said that men should be the masters over their wives and children, and that a husband should be able to give orders to his wife in his own native language that she should understand and obey.

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.

1:22a

He sent letters to all the provinces of the kingdom,

letters: This means written messages, which would have been taken by messengers throughout the kingdom.

1:22b

to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language,

script: This means the alphabet people used to write their language. For example, if you write Hebrew, you use a different script from English.

1:22c

proclaiming that every man should be master of his own household.

in their own language: This phrase is at the end of the verse in Hebrew and is literally “and speaking according to the language of his people.” Commentators and translators have found it difficult to understand this phrase and have many different solutions. Some of the possibilities are:

  1. It is referring again to the language in which the message was to be written and announced (BSB, NIV, NLT).

  2. The LXX (Greek OT) omitted the phrase completely and some English versions do the same (NJB, NRSV, CEV, NCV).

  3. The husband should speak with final authority (GNT).

You may want to follow the interpretation of the major national translation in your area. The Display follows the first interpretation.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֤ח סְפָרִים֙ אֶל־כָּל־מְדִינ֣וֹת הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

and,he_sent_out letters to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king

He means King Ahasuerus. This is saying that the king sent letters to every province in his empire.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מְדִינָ֤ה וּ⁠מְדִינָה֙

province and,province

This is an idiom that means “every province” or every single province.

כִּ⁠כְתָבָ֔⁠הּ

according,to_of,its_writing

Alternate translation: [using its own alphabet] or [written in its own script]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַ֥ם וָ⁠עָ֖ם

people and,people

This is an idiom that means “every people group” or every single people group.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּ⁠לְשׁוֹנ֑⁠וֹ

according,to_of,its_language

Here, tongue means the language spoken by a person or a group of people. Alternate translation: [in its own language]

לִ⁠הְי֤וֹת כָּל־אִישׁ֙ שֹׂרֵ֣ר בְּ⁠בֵית֔⁠וֹ

to=be all/each/any/every (a)_man master over,his_own_of,household

This meant that all men should have complete authority over their wives and their children.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּ⁠לְשׁ֥וֹן עַמּֽ⁠וֹ

according,to_the_language_of his_people_of,his

Here, tongue means the language spoken by a person or a group of people.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּ⁠לְשׁ֥וֹן עַמּֽ⁠וֹ

according,to_the_language_of his_people_of,his

The implication is that the husband ought to be able to give orders to his wife in his own native language and that she should understand and obey him, even if she had to learn his language to do so. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly.
