and,put_on_~_robes ʼEştēr royal
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word royalty, you can express the same idea with an adjective and a concrete noun. Alternate translation: “Esther put on the robes that showed that she was the queen”

וַתִּלְבַּ֤שׁ אֶסְתֵּר֙ מַלְכ֔וּת
and,put_on_~_robes ʼEştēr royal
It is clear from the story that before she went to see the king, Esther got a banquet ready so that she could invite him and Haman to come to it right away. If it is confusing to leave that out, you can explain that here. Alternate translation, add: “Esther prepared a grand banquet and then put on her royal robes”

Royalty is an abstract noun that refers to those things that belonged only to the king. You can translate this idea with a verb, “the throne he ruled from” and “the palace where he reigned,” or with an adjective, “his royal throne” and “his royal palace.” Alternate translation: “in the throne room of the palace, sitting on the king’s throne”
