OET (OET-RV) “If it seems like a good plan to you, your majesty,” Esther replied, “then please allow the Jews who live here in Shushan to do again tomorrow what you allowed them to do today. Also, command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be impaled on the wooden pole.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אִם־עַל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב
if on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=king good
This is an idiom that has been used many times in the story. Alternate translation: “if it seems like a good idea to you, O king”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יִנָּתֵ֣ן
allowed
You can say this with an active form, and you can indicate that Esther is asking the king to do it. Alternate translation: “please allow”
גַּם־מָחָ֗ר לַיְּהוּדִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּשׁוּשָׁ֔ן לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת כְּדָ֣ת הַיּ֑וֹם
also/yet tomorrow to_the,Jews which/who in/on/at/with,Susa for=doing according_to,edict the=day
Alternate translation: “all the Jews who live in Susa to obey today’s decree tomorrow also” or “to do tomorrow also what was decreed that they should do today”
בְּשׁוּשָׁ֔ן
in/on/at/with,Susa
Alternate translation: “in the capital city of Susa”
עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי־הָמָ֖ן יִתְל֥וּ
ten sons_of Haman's hanged
The request is not for the king to allow the bodies to be impaled (or hanged), but instead, for the king to order this. Alternate translation: “and have the bodies of Haman’s ten sons hanged [or impaled]”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי־הָמָ֖ן יִתְל֥וּ
ten sons_of Haman's hanged
The purpose of this would not be to kill the sons, since they are already dead, but to demonstrate publicly that the enemies of the Jews had been completely defeated.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי־הָמָ֖ן יִתְל֥וּ
ten sons_of Haman's hanged
It is implicit that since Haman’s sons are already dead, what Esther is actually asking for is for their bodies to be impaled or hanged. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the bodies of Haman’s ten sons”
Note 5 topic: translate-numbers
עֲשֶׂ֥רֶת בְּנֵֽי
ten sons_of
Alternate translation: “10 sons”
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
הָעֵֽץ
the=tree
See how you translated this in 2:23. Review the note there if that would be helpful.
9:13 Possibly Esther knew that some of the people in Susa who had attacked Jews on the first day had gotten away and would be planning additional attacks to avenge the death of Haman.

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.
