uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֣י

and=he/it_was

Nehemiah uses this phrase to introduce the next event in his story. You do not need to represent it in your translation unless your language has a similar expression that it characteristically uses. Alternate translation: [Then one day]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ נִיסָ֗ן שְׁנַ֥ת עֶשְׂרִ֛ים לְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֥סְתְּא הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,the_month_of Nisan year_of twentieth of,Artaxerxes the=king wine [was],before_of,him and,I_took DOM the,wine and,I,gave_[it] to/for=the_king and=not been evil before,,him )

Since there were twelve months in the Hebrew calendar, and it was still the same year in the reign of Artaxerxes, this means that four months had gone by since Hanani came and spoke with Nehemiah. The implication is that Nehemiah had been praying all this time in the way described in [chapter 1](../01/01.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [I prayed like this for four months]

Note 3 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

בְּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ נִיסָ֗ן

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,the_month_of Nisan year_of twentieth of,Artaxerxes the=king wine [was],before_of,him and,I_took DOM the,wine and,I,gave_[it] to/for=the_king and=not been evil before,,him )

Nisan is the name of the first month of the Hebrew calendar.

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

שְׁנַ֥ת עֶשְׂרִ֛ים לְ⁠אַרְתַּחְשַׁ֥סְתְּא הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,the_month_of Nisan year_of twentieth of,Artaxerxes the=king wine [was],before_of,him and,I_took DOM the,wine and,I,gave_[it] to/for=the_king and=not been evil before,,him )

This is referring to the number of years that Artaxerxes had been reigning as king. Alternate translation: [in year 20 of the reign of Artaxerxes as the king of Persia]

יַ֣יִן לְ⁠פָנָ֑י⁠ו

wine [was],before_of,him

Him means King Artaxerxes. Alternate translation: [when it was time to serve him the wine]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַ֣יִן לְ⁠פָנָ֑י⁠ו

wine [was],before_of,him

Here, face is a figurative way of referring to the presence of a person. This sentence means that a time had come when Nehemiah needed to serve wine to the king.

וָ⁠אֶשָּׂ֤א אֶת־הַ⁠יַּ֨יִן֙ וָ⁠אֶתְּנָ֣⁠ה לַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,the_month_of Nisan year_of twentieth of,Artaxerxes the=king wine [was],before_of,him and,I_took DOM the,wine and,I,gave_[it] to/for=the_king and=not been evil before,,him )

Alternate translation: [I poured a cup of wine and gave it to the king]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לֹא־הָיִ֥יתִי רַ֖ע לְ⁠פָנָֽי⁠ו

and=not been evil before,,him

In this context, unpleasant refers to a person looking sad or upset. Alternate translation: [I did not look sad in his presence]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹא־הָיִ֥יתִי

and=not been

The context suggests that I was not actually means I had never been. It seems that King Artaxerxes always wanted his officials to be cheerful in his presence. That is why Nehemiah became afraid when the king asked him why he was sad. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say “I had never been”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠פָנָ֑י⁠ו

[was],before_of,him

Here, face is a figurative way of referring to the presence of a person. Alternate translation: [in his presence]
