UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

בַּ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠ה֗וּא

in_the=day (the)=that

This could mean one of three things: (1) A new series of events is now being described, but the story makes clear that they happened on the same day as the second banquet. While it must have been some time later in the day, the idea is that when Haman lost his life, and also his property, Esther gained what her enemy had lost. Alternate translation: “that same day” (2) The expression could also be an idiom that means “as of that day.” This would refer to the effective date for the transfer of Haman’s property to Esther. Alternate translation: “as of that day” (3) The term “day” could also be used to mean around the same time.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נָתַ֞ן הַ⁠מֶּ֤לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ֙ לְ⁠אֶסְתֵּ֣ר הַ⁠מַּלְכָּ֔ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית הָמָ֖ן

he/it_gave the=king ʼAḩashəvērōshz to,Esther the,queen DOM house_of Haman

Here, house represents all the household and property of Haman. The story could be referring to all the property by naming one part of it, the house. Or “house” could be a metonym for “property,” meaning everything a person owns and keeps in their house, and by extension everything they own beyond the house as well. Alternate translation: “King Ahasuerus declared that everything that Haman had owned would now belong to Queen Esther”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

צֹרֵ֣ר הַיְּהוּדִ֑ים

enemy (Some words not found in UHB: in_the=day (the)=that he/it_gave the=king ʼAḩashəvērōshz to,Esther the,queen DOM house_of Haman enemy the,Jews and,Mordecai he/it_came to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king that/for/because/then/when told ʼEştēr what? he/it to/for=her/it )

This phrase gives clarifying information about Haman. Alternate translation: “the enemy of the Jews”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מָרְדֳּכַ֗י בָּ֚א לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

and,Mordecai he/it_came to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king

The implication is that when the king learned how Mordecai was related to Esther, he summoned Mordecai into his presence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “when he learned that, the king sent for Mordecai to come into his presence”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king

Here, face represents the presence of a person. This phrase indicates that Mordecai was allowed to come into the king’s presence. Alternate translation: “into his presence”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / events

הִגִּ֥ידָה אֶסְתֵּ֖ר מַ֥ה הוּא־לָֽ⁠הּ

told ʼEştēr what? he/it to/for=her/it

You can say this before saying that the king summoned Mordecai, since it happened first. See the UST. Alternate translation: “Esther told the king how Mordecai was related to her”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִגִּ֥ידָה אֶסְתֵּ֖ר מַ֥ה הוּא־לָֽ⁠הּ

told ʼEştēr what? he/it to/for=her/it

Esther told this to the king. She would likely have explained not just how she and Mordecai were related, but that he had raised her after her parents died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Esther told the king that Mordecai was her cousin and that he had been like a father to her”
