assembled and,defend on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lives,their
Here, standing is a metaphor meaning to defend oneself and to fight back instead of running away from an enemy. See how you translated this in 8:11. Alternate translation: “joined together to fight back against their enemies”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נִקְהֲל֣וּ ׀ וְעָמֹ֣ד עַל־נַפְשָׁ֗ם
assembled and,defend on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lives,their
It’s implicit here, and stated explicitly in the next verse, that these other Jews fought their enemies only on the thirteenth day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly here. Alternate translation, add: “on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְנ֨וֹחַ֙ מֵאֹ֣יְבֵיהֶ֔ם
and,gained_relief from,enemies,their
Here, resting is a figurative way of saying that they no longer needed to fight against their enemies because they had won the battle. Alternate translation: “they had no more trouble from their enemies”
וְהָרֹג֙ בְּשֹׂ֣נְאֵיהֶ֔ם חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה וְשִׁבְעִ֖ים אָ֑לֶף
and,killed in/on/at/with,hated,them five and=seventy thousand
Alternate translation: “and killed 75,000 of them”
Note 4 topic: translate-numbers
חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה וְשִׁבְעִ֖ים אָ֑לֶף
five and=seventy thousand
Alternate translation: “seventy-five thousand”
לֹ֥א שָֽׁלְח֖וּ אֶת־יָדָֽם
not lay DOM hands,their
Alternate translation: “they did not take the things that belonged to them” or “they did not take the valuable things” or “the did not take their possessions”
9:16 75,000 seems like quite a large number. The Old Greek translation has 15,000 and the Targum has 10,107 men. The Hebrew word translated thousands can also indicate an extended family or lineage, so it is possible that 75 extended families were killed.

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.
