UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

בַּ⁠יּ֤וֹם הַ⁠שֵּׁנִי֙

in_the=day the=second

This refers to the day after the first banquet, as mentioned in 5:8. Alternate translation: “at that second banquet” or “on that second day of feasting”

בְּ⁠מִשְׁתֵּ֣ה הַ⁠יַּ֔יִן

in/on/at/with,drinking the,wine

Alternate translation: “while they were drinking wine” or “while the servants were pouring the wine and giving it to them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מַה־שְּׁאֵלָתֵ֛⁠ךְ & וְ⁠תִנָּ֣תֵֽן לָ֑⁠ךְ וּ⁠מַה־בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֛⁠ךְ עַד־חֲצִ֥י הַ⁠מַּלְכ֖וּת וְ⁠תֵעָֽשׂ

what? petition,your & and,given to/for=you(fs) and,what request,your until half the,kingdom and,done

These two statements mean almost the same thing. Ahasuerus says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to show that he is truly disposed to giving Esther what she wants. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “now please tell me what you really want. Tell me, and I will do it for you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַה־שְּׁאֵלָתֵ֛⁠ךְ

what? petition,your

Ahasuerus has now allowed Esther to show her hospitality at two banquets. But he knows that she has done this as a gesture of respect for him and their relationship, and that this signals that she has an important and urgent request to make. You can indicate this by having the king ask, “Now please tell me what you really want.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠תִנָּ֣תֵֽן & וְ⁠תֵעָֽשׂ

and,given & and,done

You can capture these parallel passive statements with one statement using an active form. Alternate translation: “I will give you what you ask for” or “I will do for you what you ask”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שְּׁאֵלָתֵ֛⁠ךְ & בַּקָּשָׁתֵ֛⁠ךְ

petition,your & request,your

The two abstract nouns petition and request can be expressed with a single phrase using the verb “want.” Alternate translation: “what you really want”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

עַד־חֲצִ֥י הַ⁠מַּלְכ֖וּת

until half the,kingdom

See how you translated this expression in 5:3 and 5:6. Alternate translation: “I will give you anything you ask for, no matter how great it is”
