UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠כָל־זֶ֕ה אֵינֶ֥⁠נּוּ שֹׁוֶ֖ה לִ֑⁠י בְּ⁠כָל־עֵ֗ת אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנִ֤י רֹאֶה֙

and=all this no,he satisfy to=me in=all time which/who I see

This is a figurative way of speaking. It is as if Haman is weighing his happiness on one side of a scale and his unhappiness on the other side. Haman is saying that his happiness over all the honors he has received is still not greater than his unhappiness over seeing Mordecai fail to honor him, so on balance, he is unhappy. Alternate translation: “I still cannot be happy as long as I keep seeing” or “all of this does not make me happy” or “ … does not satisfy me”

וְ⁠כָל־זֶ֕ה

and=all this

Haman is continuing to speak here. You can show this by beginning with “Then Haman said.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֔י

the,Jew

This phrase gives clarifying information about Mordecai.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יוֹשֵׁ֖ב בְּ⁠שַׁ֥עַר הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

sitting in/on/at/with,gate the,king's

Haman could be referring to the way Mordecai has been refusing to stand up to honor him, or he could be referring generally to the way Mordecai has never honored him (by either bowing or standing up) ever since he was appointed to a position in the king’s service and stationed at the gate. Either way, being reminded of this dishonor is the reason why Haman continues to be unhappy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “sitting at the citadel gate and refusing to honor me”

בְּ⁠שַׁ֥עַר הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

in/on/at/with,gate the,king's

Alternate translation: “the citadel gate”
