UTN uW Translation Notes:

וְֽ⁠הַ⁠יּ֨וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֜ה

and,the,day the=this

Alternate translation: “even today” or “even this very day”

שָׂר֣וֹת פָּֽרַס־וּ⁠מָדַ֗י

noble_women Fāraş and=Maday

It becomes clear later in the verse that Memukan is speaking of the wives of the king’s officials, and you could communicate that here by saying, “the wives of the officials who govern Persia and Media.” But the term “noblewomen” indicates that they also had high status of their own, so you could also call them “the leading women of Persia and Media.”

דְּבַ֣ר הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֔ה

word/matter_of the,queen's

Alternate translation: “what the queen has done”

תֹּאמַ֣רְנָה

respond

This means that they will “talk back” or “disobey.” Alternate translation: “refuse to obey”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠כֹ֖ל שָׂרֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ

to=all/each/any/every officials the=king

This means the husbands of the noblewomen. The implication may be, “They will disobey their husbands even though they are officials of the king.” You could say that explicitly, as UST does.

וּ⁠כְ⁠דַ֖י בִּזָּי֥וֹן וָ⁠קָֽצֶף

and,resulting_in,no_end contempt and,anger

This could mean either that they will treat their husbands with disrespect, and this will make their “husbands angry with them” or that “they will be angry with their husbands and treat them with contempt.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠כְ⁠דַ֖י

and,resulting_in,no_end

This could mean that the husbands will be as furious “as much as they can bear.” But you could also say, “That will be bad enough by itself, even if the news does not spread any farther.” If you think that is the meaning, you can say that explicitly, as UST does.
