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.
נַעֲר֨וֹת אֶסְתֵּ֤ר
maids ʼEştēr's
Alternate translation: “Esther’s female servants” of “Esther’s maids”
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
וְסָרִיסֶ֨יהָ֙
and,eunuchs,her
See how you translated this term in 1:10. Alternate translation: “her male servants” or “her other officials”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ לָ֔הּ
and,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,distressed 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,distressed 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,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”
