OET (OET-RV) But no one was wearing mourning garb was allowed inside the king’s gate, so when Mordekai reached the gate, he had to stay just outside it.

He means Mordecai. Alternate translation: “Mordecai came”

עַ֖ד לִפְנֵ֣י שַֽׁעַר־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ
until to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before gate the=king
Here, face represents the front of an object. The phrase means that Mordecai could not come inside the gate to the king’s palace, but had to wait just outside of it.
שַֽׁעַר־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ
gate the=king
See how you translated this in 2:19. Alternate translation: “the gate to the king’s palace”

not to,enter to/towards gate the=king in/on/at/with,clothed sackcloth
If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this information first in the verse because it explains why Mordecai waited outside. See the UST. Alternate translation: “But no one who was wearing sackcloth was allowed inside the palace gates”
4:2 no one was allowed: The king did not want to hear all the sorry stories of misfortune and people pleading for mercy.

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.
