the=officials to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king
See how you translated this term and this phrase in 1:10. Alternate translation: “the guardians who served the king personally”
הִנֵּה
see/lo/see!
Behold is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If there is not a good way to translate this term in your language, it can be omitted from your translation. But consider using an expression that is natural in your language for someone to address the king directly to get his attention. For example, you could say, “O king!”
גַּ֣ם & הָעֵ֣ץ אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֪ה הָמָ֟ן לְֽמָרְדֳּכַ֞י & עֹמֵד֙ בְּבֵ֣ית הָמָ֔ן
also/yet & the=tree which/who he/it_had_made Haman for,Mordecai & stands in=house_of Haman's
Alternate translation: “Haman has also set up a pole [or gallows] at his house because he wants to impale [or hang] Mordecai on it”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
הָעֵ֣ץ
the=tree
See how you translated this in 2:23. Review the note there if that would be helpful. Be sure your translation is consistent in the chapters that follow.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְֽמָרְדֳּכַ֞י אֲשֶׁ֧ר דִּבֶּר־ט֣וֹב עַל־הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ
for,Mordecai which/who he/it_had_said good on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=king
This expression means that Mordecai said something that benefitted the king. Specifically, Mordecai reported an assassination plot and saved the king’s life. Alternate translation: “Mordecai, who saved the king’s life.”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
דִּבֶּר־ט֣וֹב עַל־הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ
he/it_had_said good on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=king
Harbona addresses the king in the third person as a way of showing respect. Alternate translation: “saved your life”
עֹמֵד֙
stands
Alternate translation: “is set up”
Note 7 topic: translate-bdistance
גָּבֹ֖הַּ חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה
high fifty cubits
If it would be helpful in your language, you could convert this to a modern measure. See how you translated this phrase in 5:14. Alternate translation: “seventy-five feet high” or “twenty-five meters high”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
תְּלֻ֥הוּ עָלָֽיו
hang,him on/upon/above=him/it
Him means Haman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “hang [or impale] Haman on it”
7:9 He intended to use it to impale Mordecai: Harbona, one of the king’s seven eunuchs (1:10), was apparently no friend of Haman and was already aware of Haman’s plot.
• impale Haman on it! This great reversal of fortunes demonstrates the guiding hand of God. Regarding impalement, see study note on 2:23.
