4:4 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

4:4 OSHB note: Marks an anomalous form.

4:4 OSHB note: We have abandoned or added a ketib/qere relative to BHS. In doing this we agree with L against BHS.

OET (OET-RV) When Queen Esther’s young female attendants came with her guardians and told her what was going on outside, even the queen became very scared. She sent Mordekai some good clothes to wear instead of the sackcloth, but he wouldn’t accept them.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–17: Mordecai asked Esther to beg the king to save the Jews

When Mordecai heard about the order to kill the Jews, he dressed in the sort of clothes he would wear to mourn someone who had died and walked around the city weeping loudly. Esther sent him other clothes but he refused to wear them. She then sent a messenger to find out why he was behaving in this way. Mordecai gave the messenger a copy of the decree to show to Esther, and he pleaded with her to go and ask the king not to destroy the Jews. Esther hesitated, but finally agreed, although it was dangerous for her to approach the king in this way and she might be killed.

4:4a

When Esther’s maidens and eunuchs came and told her about Mordecai, the queen was overcome with distress.

Esther’s maidens and eunuchs: These were Esther’s female and male servants. For more on “eunuch” see the note on 1:10b.

4:4b

She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

uW Translation Notes:

נַעֲר֨וֹת אֶסְתֵּ֤ר

maids_of ʼEştēr's

Alternate translation: [Esther’s female servants] of “Esther’s maids”

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠סָרִיסֶ֨י⁠הָ֙

and,eunuchs_of,her

See how you translated this term in [1:10](../01/10.md). Alternate translation: [her male servants] or [her other officials]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּגִּ֣ידוּ לָ֔⁠הּ

and,they_told to/for=her/it

That is, they told her that Mordecai was sitting outside the gate wearing sackcloth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תִּתְחַלְחַ֥ל הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֖ה מְאֹ֑ד

and,she_agonized the,queen very

The queen means Esther. You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: [Esther herself became very afraid] or [this made the queen very distressed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּתְחַלְחַ֥ל הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֖ה מְאֹ֑ד

and,she_agonized the,queen very

The implication is that this happened when she heard what Mordecai was doing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [When she heard about this, Esther herself became very afraid]

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠תִּשְׁלַ֨ח בְּגָדִ֜ים לְ⁠הַלְבִּ֣ישׁ אֶֽת־מָרְדֳּכַ֗י

and,she_sent garments to,clothe DOM Mārəddəkay

She means Esther. This was her way of encouraging Mordecai to be hopeful and act publicly as if whatever situation he was worried about were not completely desperate. Alternate translation: [she sent servants to take to Mordecai some good clothes to wear]

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠לֹ֥א קִבֵּֽל

and=not accept

This was Mordecai’s way of replying to Esther that the situation truly was desperate. Alternate translation: [he refused to put them on]
