OET (OET-LV) And_ the_servants_of _they_said the_king who were_at_the_gate_of the_king to_Mārəddəkay why are_you transgressing DOM the_command_of the_king.
OET (OET-RV) “Why are you disobeying the king’s command?” asked the other royal servants at the king’s gate.
The next event in the story was that the king promoted one of his officials called Haman to the highest position in the land, next to the king himself. The king ordered all his servants to bow down to Haman in respect to him, but Mordecai refused to do this because he was a Jew. When Haman heard about this, he was angry and planned to destroy all the Jews in the empire. He cast lots to find out the best day to choose for killing the Jews.
Then the royal servants at the king’s gate asked Mordecai,
Then/So the other officials who worked at the palace gate asked Mordecai,
royal servants: See note on “officials” at 1:3a.
at the king’s gate: See note on 2:19b.
“Why do you disobey the command of the king?”
“Why do you refuse to do what the king has ordered?”
עַבְדֵ֥י הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־בְּשַׁ֥עַר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ
servants_of the=king which/who [were]_at,the_gate_of the=king
See how you translated this expression at the beginning of [3:2](../03/02.md).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ & לְמָרְדֳּכָ֑י
and=they_said & to,Mordecai
They spoke to Mordecai because they saw that he did not bow down. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. You could say, for example, “The other officials saw that, and they asked Mordecai.”
מַדּ֨וּעַ֙ אַתָּ֣ה עוֹבֵ֔ר אֵ֖ת מִצְוַ֥ת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ

Alternate translation: [why are you disobeying the king’s command] or [why are you not obeying what the king commanded]
