Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְכֹל֙ כְּסַ֣ף וּדְהַ֔ב דִּ֣י תְהַשְׁכַּ֔ח בְּכֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל
and=all/each/any/every silver and,gold that/who find in/on/at/with,whole province Babel
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could also divide this verse into two sentences. This phrase could be the first sentence. Here, find is an idiom that in this context means “can obtain.” Artaxerxes is giving Ezra permission to invite everyone in the province of Babylon to contribute. Alternate translation: “I also give you permission to ask everyone living in the province of Babylon to contribute silver and gold.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְכֹל֙ כְּסַ֣ף וּדְהַ֔ב דִּ֣י תְהַשְׁכַּ֔ח בְּכֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל
and=all/each/any/every silver and,gold that/who find in/on/at/with,whole province Babel
The implication is that these would be contributions towards the expenses of the worship of Yahweh in the temple in Jerusalem, just like the gifts described in the rest of the verse. The further implication is that, just as the king and his counselors were sympathetic to the Jews in Jerusalem and eager to please the “God of heaven” (7:23), others in the province might be eager to do so as well. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I also authorize you to ask everyone living in the province of Babylon to contribute silver and gold towards the expenses of the worship of Yahweh in the temple in Jerusalem”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּכֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל
in/on/at/with,whole province Babel
Artaxerxes is describing the people who live in the province of Babylon figuratively, by reference to something associated with them, the province where they live. Alternate translation: “among everyone living in the province of Babylon”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
בָּבֶ֑ל
Babel
Babylon (also called “Babylonia”) is the name of one of the provinces in the Persian Empire. See how you translated it in 1:11. Review the note there if that would be helpful.
עִם֩ הִתְנַדָּב֨וּת עַמָּ֤א וְכָֽהֲנַיָּא֙ מִֽתְנַדְּבִ֔ין לְבֵ֥ית אֱלָהֲהֹ֖ם דִּ֥י בִירוּשְׁלֶֽם
with freewill_offerings people,the and,priests,the given_willingly for,house god,their that/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem
If you have chosen to divide this verse into two sentences, this can be the second sentence. Here, the people means the people of Israel, as in 7:13. Alternate translation: “I also authorize you to collect any offerings that the people of Israel and their priests want to give freely for the temple in Jerusalem.”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
דִּ֥י בִירוּשְׁלֶֽם
that/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem
Like Darius in 6:12, here Artaxerxes repeats some background information in order to be very explicit about which temple his command applies to. Alternate translation: “in Jerusalem”
7:16 Like Cyrus (1:4, 6), Artaxerxes allowed Jews in Babylon to send freewill offerings to Jerusalem. A sizeable sum was collected from the king and his council as well as from Jewish contributors (8:25-27).

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.
