OET (OET-LV) And_ Hathach _he/it_went_out to Mārəddəkay to the_open_place_of the_city which to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_gate_of the_king.

OET (OET-RV) So Hathak went out to talk to Mordekai who was out in the plaza in front of the king’s gate.

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.

4:6

So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the king’s gate,

the city square: This was an open area where there were no buildings.

the king’s gate: See note on 4:2a. Here too it refers literally to the palace entrance.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֥א הֲתָ֖ךְ אֶֽל־מָרְדֳּכָ֑י

and=he/it_went_out Hathach to/near Mārəddəkay

Hathak went out specifically to speak with Mordecai and find out why he was so distressed, as Esther had asked him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Hathak went out to speak with Mordecai]

רְח֣וֹב הָ⁠עִ֔יר

open_square_of the=city

Alternate translation: [the central plaza]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

Here, face represents the front of an object. The phrase means that the open square was in front of the palace gate.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שַֽׁעַר־הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

gate_of of,the_king

The citadel is being described by reference to something associated with it, the gate that leads into it. Alternate translation: [the citadel gate]
