until silver talents one_hundred and=unto wheat kor_\add_measures\add* one_hundred and=unto wine baths one_hundred and=unto baths oil 100 and,salt that/who not limit

Here, the king is speaking in an abbreviated, official way, and the connection to the previous verse may not be entirely clear for all readers. He is describing how much he is authorizing Ezra to ask for from the treasury in money and supplies. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly, and you could also make this verse a sentence of its own. Alternate translation: “I am authorizing Ezra to ask you treasurers for up to 100 kikkars of silver, 100 cors of wheat, 100 baths of wine, 100 baths of oil, and an unlimited amount of salt.”

Note 2 topic: translate-bmoney

כְּסַף֮ כַּכְּרִ֣ין מְאָה֒

silver talents one_hundred

You could try to express the modern value of this amount of silver. But since prices vary over time, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate. So you could express the amount instead using the ancient measurement, the kikkar, and explain in a note that this was equivalent to about 30 kilograms. Alternatively, you could specify the weight of the silver in the text, as UST does.

Note 3 topic: translate-bvolume

חִנְטִין֙ כֹּרִ֣ין מְאָ֔ה

wheat kor_\add_measures\add* one_hundred

A cor was equivalent to about 220 liters. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the quantity in modern measurements, as UST does, “500 bushels of wheat.” Alternatively, to help your readers recognize that the biblical writings come from a long time ago when people used different measures, you could express the amount using the ancient measurement, the cor, and explain the equivalent in modern measurements in a footnote.

Note 4 topic: translate-bvolume

וְ⁠עַד־חֲמַר֙ בַּתִּ֣ין מְאָ֔ה וְ⁠עַד־בַּתִּ֥ין מְשַׁ֖ח מְאָ֑ה

and=unto and=unto wine baths one_hundred and=unto baths oil 100

According to ancient measurements, baths were equivalent to about 22 liters. Once again, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the quantity in modern measurements, or you could express the amount using the ancient measurement and explain its modern equivalent in a footnote. Alternate translation: “and as much as 2,200 liters of wine, and as much as 2,200 liters of oil” or “and as much as 600 gallons of wine, and as much as 600 gallons of oil”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠מְלַ֖ח דִּי־לָ֥א כְתָֽב

and,salt that/who not limit

This expression means that the king is not specifying in writing a maximum amount of salt that Ezra can request, as he did for the silver, wheat, wine, and oil. Alternate translation: “and an unlimited amount of salt”
