וְרֹ֣ב בָּנָ֑יו

Having many sons was probably seen as a mark of honor and status in Persian culture. This phrase probably means that Haman was boasting about the status he enjoyed in Persian society because he had many sons. Alternate translation: “how many sons he had”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
בָּנָ֑יו
sons,his
This word can sometimes be used in Hebrew to mean both male and female children. However, here it clearly refers to male children, so you should translate it that way.
גִּדְּל֤וֹ
honored,him
Alternate translation: “how the king had continually given him more authority” or “how the king had honored him many times by giving him more important work”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

the,officials and,servants the,king
This means all of the others, as 3:1 makes clear. Alternate translation: “all of his other officials and administrators”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
הַשָּׂרִ֖ים וְעַבְדֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
the,officials and,servants the,king
The words officials and administrators mean similar things. If your language uses one word for these, you can combine them.
5:9-14 This brief interlude emphasizes the depth of Haman’s hatred for Mordecai.
OET (OET-LV) And_recounted to/for_them Haman DOM the_splendor wealth_his and_number sons_his and_DOM all how honoured_him the_king and_DOM how promoted_him above the_officials and_servants the_king.
OET (OET-RV) boasting to them about how rich he was and about how many sons he had, and how the king had promoted him many times and given him a position above all of the other officials and administrators.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
