UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠בִ⁠מְל֣וֹאת ׀ הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֗לֶּה

and,in/on/at/with,completed the=days the=these

This implies “at the end of that feast.” You could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “after those 180 days were over” or “at the end of those six months”

Note 2 topic: translate-numbers

עָשָׂ֣ה הַ⁠מֶּ֡לֶךְ & מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה

he/it_had_made the=king & banquet

This was a second feast that the king hosted. He likely did this to thank the people who had worked so hard in hosting the first feast. You could say that explicitly.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

בְּ⁠שׁוּשַׁ֨ן הַ⁠בִּירָ֜ה

in/on/at/with,Susa the,citadel

The expression in this case seems to refer specifically to the royal citadel from which the city got its name. This second feast would not have been for everyone in the entire city. It was specifically for the people who served the king in the citadel and who had worked so hard over the previous six months hosting the first feast. Alternate translation: “for every man who worked for him in the palace at Susa”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠נִּמְצְאִים֩

the,present

Here, found is an idiom that means could be found or were there.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠נִּמְצְאִים֩

the,present

You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “who worked for him in”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

לְ⁠מִ⁠גָּ֧דוֹל וְ⁠עַד־קָטָ֛ן

for,from,greatest and=unto least

The person telling this story is referring to the staff of the palace by speaking of two extreme parts of it, the most important and the least important people who worked there, in order to include everyone in between. You could just explain this meaning, as UST does. Alternate translation: “from the most important official to the least important servant”

שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים

seven days

The story does not suggest that this was an unusually long time by saying, “for many days.” But you could also say something like “a whole week” to show that this was a generous gesture of thanks on the part of the king. Alternate translation: “another feast that lasted seven days”
