OET (OET-RV) and he told Queen Esther, “Here in the capital city of Shushan the Jews have killed 500 men, including Haman’s ten sons. In the rest of my empire, they must have killed many more than that! So tell me what else you want and I’ll do it for you. I’ll do whatever you ask, so do tell me.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
הָרְגוּ֩ & וְאַבֵּ֜ד
killed & and,destroyed
These terms mean the same thing and are used together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “killed”
Note 2 topic: translate-numbers
חֲמֵ֧שׁ מֵא֣וֹת אִ֗ישׁ
five hundreds (a)_man
Alternate translation: “five hundred men”
וְאֵת֙
and=DOM
Alternate translation: “including”
Note 3 topic: translate-numbers
עֲשֶׂ֣רֶת בְּנֵֽי
ten sons_of
Alternate translation: “10 sons”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
בִּשְׁאָ֛ר מְדִינ֥וֹת הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ מֶ֣ה עָשׂ֑וּ
in/on/at/with,rest provinces the=king what? they_had_acquired
The king is making a statement, but he uses a question form to show that he is very convinced that the Jews must have also killed many people in the other provinces. Alternate translation: “what they must have done in the rest of the king’s provinces” or “they must have killed many more in the rest of the king’s provinces”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וּמַה־שְּׁאֵֽלָתֵךְ֙ וְיִנָּ֣תֵֽן לָ֔ךְ וּמַה־בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֥ךְ ע֖וֹד וְתֵעָֽשׂ
and,what petition,your and,granted to/for=you(fs) and,what request,your again/more and,done
These two statements mean basically the same thing. Ahasuerus says the same thing twice to show that he is truly disposed to give Esther what she wants. If it would be confusing, you do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation. Alternate translation: “is there anything more that you want? Tell me, and I will do it for you”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְיִנָּ֣תֵֽן לָ֔ךְ & וְתֵעָֽשׂ
and,granted to/for=you(fs) & and,done
You can capture these parallel passive statements with one statement using an active form. You can also say who will do the action. Alternate translation: “I will do it for you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
שְּׁאֵֽלָתֵךְ֙ & בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֥ךְ
petition,your & request,your
The two abstract nouns petition and request can be expressed with a single phrase using the verb “want.” Alternate translation: “anything more that you want”
9:12 If the king had been disturbed by the high numbers, he would not have allowed another day of fighting (9:14-15). It seems more likely that the king was astonished that there were so many people who followed Haman and opposed the new regime directed by Mordecai. He was thinking of the political stability of the empire.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
