This gives the result of the reasons described in [verses 26](../09/26.md) and [27](../09/27.md). Alternate translation: [therefore] or [that is why]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ֠⁠אֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִ֨ים וְ⁠נַעֲשִׂ֜ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,days the=these remembered and,observed in=all generation and,generation family and,clan province and,province and,city and,city and,the_days_of of,the_Purim the=these not fall_into_disuse from,among_of the,Jews and,remembrance_of,their not fade from,offspring_of,their )

Remembered and made mean basically the same thing here. The repetition is used to emphasize that the Jews have been faithful in doing this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the general meaning by saying something like “So the Jews have celebrated these days.” Alternate translation: [therefore they said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ֠⁠אֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִ֨ים וְ⁠נַעֲשִׂ֜ים

This expression uses two passive forms, but you could say the same thing using active forms. Alternate translation: [so the Jews have celebrated and observed these days]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מְדִינָ֥ה וּ⁠מְדִינָ֖ה וְ⁠עִ֣יר וָ⁠עִ֑יר

province and,province and,city and,city

This could be a figure of speech that refers to something by speaking of two extreme parts of it in order to include everything in between those parts. Generally speaking, a province would be the largest division of the empire that would identify a person’s location, and a city would be the smallest. Particularly, since the Jews would continue to celebrate Purim after the Persian empire and its provinces no longer exist, you might choose to express the meaning of this figure of speech in a more general way. Alternate translation: [everywhere they have lived]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מְדִינָ֥ה וּ⁠מְדִינָ֖ה

and,the_days_of of,the_Purim (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,days the=these remembered and,observed in=all generation and,generation family and,clan province and,province and,city and,city and,the_days_of of,the_Purim the=these not fall_into_disuse from,among_of the,Jews and,remembrance_of,their not fade from,offspring_of,their )

These two phrases mean similar things. The repetition is used to emphasize that the Jews will definitely not stop celebrating Purim each year. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis with a word like “definitely” or “certainly” or “always.” Alternate translation: [the Jews and their descendants will certainly always continue to celebrate this festival of Purim]
