OET (OET-LV) The_runners who_rode_of the_steed[s] (the)_royal they_went_out hastened and_hurried at_the_message_of the_king and_the_law it_was_given in_Shūshan the_citadel.

OET (OET-RV) So the couriers on the royal horses rode out quickly under the king’s orders to deliver the letters. The new law was also proclaimed throughout the capital city of Shushan.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–17: Xerxes allowed the Jews to protect themselves

After Haman’s death, the king gave Esther everything that had belonged to Haman and made Mordecai the chief official in the land. Esther asked the king to cancel Haman’s order to kill the Jews. The king instead permitted her and Mordecai to send letters in his name allowing the Jews to defend themselves and kill their enemies. The news of this order brought great joy to the Jews.

Paragraph 8:9–14

There are many similarities between this passage and the section about Haman’s plot to kill the Jews. You should compare this passage with 3:12–15.

8:14a

The couriers rode out in haste on their royal horses, pressed on by the command of the king.

couriers: See note on 3:13a.

pressed on by the command of the king: See note on 3:15a. Although it was Mordecai who issued the orders, he did so with the authority of the king.

8:14b

And the edict was also issued in the citadel of Susa.

And the edict was also issued in the citadel of Susa: This is similar to 3:15b. See notes on that verse.

uW Translation Notes:

הָ⁠רָצִ֞ים רֹכְבֵ֤י הָ⁠רֶ֨כֶשׁ֙ הָֽ⁠אֲחַשְׁתְּרָנִ֔ים

the,runners mounted_of of,the_steed[s] (Some words not found in UHB: the,runners mounted_of of,the_steed[s] (the),royal they_came_out in_haste and,hurried at,the_word_of the=king and,the,law issued in,Susa the,citadel )

See how you translated this in [8:10](../08/10.md). Alternate translation: [messengers riding on fast horses that were used for the king’s business]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מְבֹהָלִ֥ים וּ⁠דְחוּפִ֖ים בִּ⁠דְבַ֣ר הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ

You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the king commanded the couriers to deliver the letters as quickly as possible]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

מְבֹהָלִ֥ים וּ⁠דְחוּפִ֖ים

in_haste and,hurried

These two terms mean almost the same thing and are used together to emphasize the fact that the couriers were told to deliver the letters as quickly as possible. Alternate translation: [they went immediately] or [as quickly as possible]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

הָ⁠רָצִ֞ים רֹכְבֵ֤י הָ⁠רֶ֨כֶשׁ֙ הָֽ⁠אֲחַשְׁתְּרָנִ֔ים

To present the events in chronological order, you can put this after the king’s command, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
