UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וּ⁠מָרְדֳּכַ֞י יָצָ֣א

and,Mordecai he/it_went_forth

This introduces a new event in the story. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֗לֶךְ

from=to/for=face/front/presence the=king

Here, face represents the presence of a person. This phrase means that Mordecai had been in the presence of King Ahasuerus and was now leaving in order to fulfill his duties as a high official in the Persian government. Alternate translation: [from the palace]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּ⁠לְב֤וּשׁ מַלְכוּת֙ תְּכֵ֣לֶת וָ⁠ח֔וּר וַ⁠עֲטֶ֤רֶת זָהָב֙ גְּדוֹלָ֔ה וְ⁠תַכְרִ֥יךְ בּ֖וּץ וְ⁠אַרְגָּמָ֑ן

in/on/at/with,robes_of royal_of blue and,white and,crown_of gold great and,robe_of fine_linen and,purple

The implication is that the king gave Mordecai these special things to wear to show that he was now his highest officer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. To put these events in chronological order, you could place this information before the report that Mordecai left the king’s presence to fulfill his duties.

בִּ⁠לְב֤וּשׁ מַלְכוּת֙ תְּכֵ֣לֶת

in/on/at/with,robes_of royal_of blue

Alternate translation: [a blue and white garment that the king had worn]

וַ⁠עֲטֶ֤רֶת זָהָב֙ גְּדוֹלָ֔ה

and,crown_of gold great

Alternate translation: [a large golden crown]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠הָ⁠עִ֣יר שׁוּשָׁ֔ן צָהֲלָ֖ה וְ⁠שָׂמֵֽחָה

and,the,city Shūshan shouted and,rejoiced

Here, the city represents the people living in it. Alternate translation: [the people of Susa]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

צָהֲלָ֖ה וְ⁠שָׂמֵֽחָה

shouted and,rejoiced

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with “and.” The word rejoiced tells how they cheered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning by saying something like “shouted joyfully.” Alternate translation: [cheered and were happy]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

צָהֲלָ֖ה וְ⁠שָׂמֵֽחָה

shouted and,rejoiced

The implication is that the people did this when they saw Mordecai. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly.
