OET (OET-LV) And_ documents _they_were_sent by_the_hand_of the_runners to all_of the_provinces_of the_king to_annihilate to_kill and_to_destroy DOM all_of the_Yəhūdī/(Jews) from_young_man and_unto old_man little_one[s] and_women in/on_day one on_day_thir- teen of_month two_plus ten that is_the_month_of Adar and_spoil_of_their to_take_as_plunder.

OET (OET-RV) Couriers delivered the letters to the officials in every province in the empire. The letters said to completely destroy all the Jews, including the children and women, on a single day. That was to be the thirteenth day of March early in the following year. The letters also stated that those who killed the Jews could take everything that belonged to them.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:7–15: Haman plotted to kill the Jews

Haman went to the king and told him that the Jews in the empire did not obey the laws of the land, and so they all should be killed. The king authorized him to write an order saying that the Jews should be killed. Haman caused the order to be sent out everywhere in the kingdom on the thirteenth day of the first month of the next year. The order told the public to be ready to attack the Jews on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month.

3:13a

And the letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces

And the letters: See note on 1:22a.

couriers: These were people whose job was to travel throughout the empire delivering important messages.

3:13b

with the order to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—

destroy, kill, and annihilate: These three words are similar in meaning and when used together cause the language to be very strong. The Display shows one way of translating this.

3:13c

and to plunder their possessions

Adar: See note on 3:7d.

3:13d

on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month.

plunder their possessions: This means to take and keep the belongings of the people they had killed.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נִשְׁל֨וֹחַ סְפָרִ֜ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

The expression were sent is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Haman sent the letters]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠יַ֣ד הָ⁠רָצִים֮

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

Here, hand could mean two different things: (1) It could literally mean “hand,” meaning that the couriers carried the letters in their hands. Alternate translation: [couriers hand-delivered the documents]; (2) “Hand” could also be a metaphor for power, control, or authority, meaning that couriers were the ones who delivered the letters to all the provinces throughout the empire. Alternate translation: [couriers gave the documents directly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶל־כָּל־מְדִינ֣וֹת הַ⁠מֶּלֶךְ֒

to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

Haman did not send the letters to the provinces (the geographical territories) themselves. Rather, he sent them to the officials in every province in the empire. The story is using the word “province” to refer to these officials by something associated with them, the territories they ruled. Your translation should make clear that the letters were sent to people, not places.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לְ⁠הַשְׁמִ֡יד לַ⁠הֲרֹ֣ג וּ⁠לְ⁠אַבֵּ֣ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

These words mean the same thing. They are used together to emphasize the completeness of the destruction that is envisioned. You could combine them as UST does and say something like “completely destroy.” (A “doublet” can use more than two words.)

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠נַּ֨עַר וְ⁠עַד־זָקֵ֜ן

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

This is a figure of speech that describes all of something by naming two extreme parts of it in order to include everything in between. You could express its meaning as UST does and say something like “every single one of them.” Alternate translation: [including young people and old people]

טַ֤ף וְ⁠נָשִׁים֙

children (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

Alternate translation: [including the children and the women]

Alternate translation: [on a single day]

Implicitly, this means “the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of that same year.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly.

Alternate translation: [of month twelve]

Note 10 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

הוּא־חֹ֣דֶשׁ אֲדָ֑ר

he/it month_of Adar

This is the name of the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar. See how you decided in [2:16](../02/16.md) and [3:7](../03/07.md) to express dates that the story gives according to the Hebrew calendar.

וּ⁠שְׁלָלָ֖⁠ם לָ⁠בֽוֹז

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_sent letters by,the_hand_of of,the_runners to/towards all/each/any/every provinces_of the=king to,annihilate to,kill and,to,destroy DOM all/each/any/every the,Jews from,young_man and=unto old children and,women in/on=day one(ms) on_[day],thir- ten of,month two ten he/it month_of Adar and,spoil_of,their to,take_as_plunder )

This means that the letters also said that those who killed the Jews could take everything that belonged to them.

OET (OET-LV) And_ documents _they_were_sent by_the_hand_of the_runners to all_of the_provinces_of the_king to_annihilate to_kill and_to_destroy DOM all_of the_Yəhūdī/(Jews) from_young_man and_unto old_man little_one[s] and_women in/on_day one on_day_thir- teen of_month two_plus ten that is_the_month_of Adar and_spoil_of_their to_take_as_plunder.

OET (OET-RV) Couriers delivered the letters to the officials in every province in the empire. The letters said to completely destroy all the Jews, including the children and women, on a single day. That was to be the thirteenth day of March early in the following year. The letters also stated that those who killed the Jews could take everything that belonged to them.

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