UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּמָּצֵ֣א כָת֗וּב

and,found written

Both terms found and recorded can be expressed in active form. Alternate translation: “they found that the writers had recorded there” or “they read the part where the writers had written”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִגִּ֨יד מָרְדֳּכַ֜י עַל

he/it_told Mārəddəkay on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in

The implication is that Mordecai had saved the king’s life by discovering the plot and telling him about it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Mordecai had saved the king’s life by discovering a plot against the king and telling him about it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events

הִגִּ֨יד מָרְדֳּכַ֜י עַל

he/it_told Mārəddəkay on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in

To relate the events in chronological order, you can put this at the end of the verse. Alternate translation: “but Mordecai had saved the king’s life by discovering their plot and telling him about it”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

בִּגְתָ֣נָא וָ⁠תֶ֗רֶשׁ

Bigthana and,Teresh

These are the same two men who are named in 2:21. However, there the first man’s name is said to be “Bigthan.” Decide on a consistent way of translating these names so your readers will know that they are the same men.

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

שְׁנֵי֙ סָרִיסֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

two_of eunuchs the=king

See how you translated the term eunuch in 1:10. Alternate translation: “two of the royal guardians”

מִ⁠שֹּׁמְרֵ֖י הַ⁠סַּ֑ף

from,guarded the,threshold

See how you translated this expression in 2:23. Alternate translation: “who protected the doorway to the king’s private quarters”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בִּקְשׁוּ֙

conspired

Here, seeking means actively trying to do something. Alternate translation: “they had planned” or “they had tried”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לִ⁠שְׁלֹ֣חַ יָ֔ד

to,lay hands

As in 2:21, the expression to stretch out a hand means to cause someone physical harm with the intention of killing them. Alternate translation: “to assassinate” or “to kill”
