103	3:Introducción	zb26				0	# Ester 3 Notas Generales\n\n## Conceptos religiosos y culturales en este capítulo\n\n### Amán conspira en contra de los judíos\n\nA Mardoqueo se le dijo que se postrara ante Amán. Esto sería considerado adoración. Pero para un judío, era incorrecto adorar a otro que no sea Jehová. Por esto, se negó a hacerlo. Esto hizo que Amán se molestara, así que decidió matar a todos los judíos en el imperio de Persia. Amán era un descendiente de Agag, un rey del pueblo amalecita. Los amalecitas se convirtieron en enemigos de los judíos durante el éxodo (Éxodos 17:8–16). Moisés dijo al pueblo que tendrían que destruirlos. (Deuteronomio 25:17–19), y más tarde Dios le encomendó a Saúl destruirlos (1 Samuel 15:2–3). Samuel mató al rey Agag (1 Samuel 15:33), pero los amalecitas nunca fueron destruidos completamente (1 Samuel 30:17). Tanto Mardoqueo como Amán, probablemente fueron muy conscientes de que sus pueblos eran enemigos.

107	3:1	abh9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	גִּדַּל֩ & אֲחַשְׁוֵר֜וֹשׁ אֶת־הָמָ֧ן	1	Esto significa que Asuero **ascendió** a Amán.

108	3:1	ptm4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	כִּסְא֔⁠וֹ	1	Aquí, **sede de autoridad** significa la posición o estatus de Amán en el gobierno persa.

110	3:2	e25k		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	כֹּרְעִ֤ים וּ⁠מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִים֙	1	Esto significa que los demás oficiales se humillaron y se tumbaron en el suelo ante Amán. Estas acciones representaban reconocimiento y respeto por la altísima posición que el rey le había dado en el gobierno persa.
111	3:2	fg8v			וּ⁠מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִים֙	1	Esto significa inclinarse hasta el suelo.

Así que, por motivos religiosos, Mardoqueo se negó a inclinarse. Si fuera útil en su idioma, podría decir esto explícitamente.

Mardoqueo los escuchó, pero no hizo lo que le aconsejaron hacer. Esto significa que a pesar de que los otros oficiales lo interrogaron y probablemente le advirtieron, aún así se negó a inclinarse.
117	3:4	uek4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	וַ⁠יַּגִּ֣ידוּ לְ⁠הָמָ֗ן לִ⁠רְאוֹת֙ הֲ⁠יַֽעַמְדוּ֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י מָרְדֳּכַ֔י	1	En este contexto, **resistir** significa superar un reto, y **palabras** significa las razones que Mardoqueo dio por sus acciones. Esta frase significa que los otros oficiales se lo contaron a Amán para ver si lo toleraría.
118	3:4	abj4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	כִּֽי־הִגִּ֥יד לָ⁠הֶ֖ם אֲשֶׁר־ה֥וּא יְהוּדִֽי	1	La explicación de Mardoqueo habría incluido el hecho de que los judíos solo adorarían a Jehová. Si fuera útil en su idioma, podría decir eso explícitamente.
119	3:5	abj5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וַ⁠יַּ֣רְא הָמָ֔ן	1	Aquí, **ver** significa conocimiento, aviso, atención o juicio. Esta frase significa que Amán se enteró de esto.
120	3:5	wk8p		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וַ⁠יִּמָּלֵ֥א הָמָ֖ן חֵמָֽה	1	Aquí, se habla de **la ira de Amán** como algo que podría llenarlo. Podrías decir que estaba furioso o extremadamente enojado.
121	3:6	abj6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יִּ֣בֶז בְּ⁠עֵינָ֗י⁠ו	1	Amán probablemente decidió llegar a tales extremos porque estaba muy enojado. Si fuera útil en su idioma, podría decir eso explícitamente.
122	3:6	abj7			וַ⁠יִּ֣בֶז	1	**Despreciar** en este contexto no significa odiar, sino tener en poco o pensar que algo es demasiado pequeño. Esta expresión significa que Amán decidió que no sería suficiente con solo matar a Mardoqueo.
123	3:6	j11r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	לִ⁠שְׁלֹ֤ח יָד֙	1	As in [2:21](../02/21.md), the expression **to stretch out a hand** means to cause someone physical harm with the intention of killing them.
124	3:6	abj9			כִּֽי־הִגִּ֥ידוּ ל֖⁠וֹ אֶת־עַ֣ם מָרְדֳּכָ֑י	1	**They** means the other royal officials. **Him** refers to Haman. **The people of Mordecai** means the Jews. Mordecai had told these officials that he would not bow down to Haman because Jews worshiped only God. So this means that the other officials had told Haman that Mordecai was not bowing down to him because he was a Jew.
125	3:6	hue9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וַ⁠יְבַקֵּ֣שׁ הָמָ֗ן לְ⁠הַשְׁמִ֧יד	1	Here, **seeking** means trying to do something. In this context, it means that Haman decided that he would try to kill all the Jews.
126	3:6	abk0			בְּ⁠כָל־מַלְכ֥וּת אֲחַשְׁוֵר֖וֹשׁ	1	This means in the entire empire that King Ahasuerus ruled.
127	3:6	abk1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֛ים & עַ֥ם מָרְדֳּכָֽי	1	These two phrases refer to the same group of people. The repetition emphasizes how great the threat was to their existence. You could combine them as UST does and say something like “all of the Jews.” Alternate translation: “Mordecai’s people, the Jews”
128	3:7	zl12		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal	בַּ⁠חֹ֤דֶשׁ הָ⁠רִאשׁוֹן֙	1	Alternate translation: “In month one”
129	3:7	wyv6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths	הוּא־חֹ֣דֶשׁ נִיסָ֔ן	1	**Nisan** is the name of the first month of the Hebrew calendar.
130	3:7	abk2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	חֹ֣דֶשׁ נִיסָ֔ן	1	As in [2:16](../02/16.md), you could convert the Hebrew month into an approximate time on the calendar that your culture uses. However, the Jews used a lunar calendar, so if you use a solar calendar, the dates will be different every year and the translation will not be quite accurate. So you may just want to give the Hebrew month.
131	3:7	tw99		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal	בִּ⁠שְׁנַת֙ שְׁתֵּ֣ים עֶשְׂרֵ֔ה לַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֑וֹשׁ	1	Alternate translations: “during the twelfth year of the reign of Ahasuerus as king of Persia” or “when King Ahasuerus had reigned for about twelve years”
132	3:7	g4lt		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names	הִפִּ֣יל פּוּר֩ ה֨וּא הַ⁠גּוֹרָ֜ל	1	The storyteller is giving both the Persian and the Hebrew name because this is the story behind the Festival of Purim, which takes its name from “Pur.” So this is not repetition for emphasis. You can put in the Persian name and the word for “lot” in your own language to show that the storyteller is doing this.
133	3:7	abk3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	הַ⁠גּוֹרָ֜ל	1	A **lot** was an object with different markings on various sides that was used, most likely by dropping it on the ground, to select a specific time for doing something. The belief was that God or the gods would control which way the object fell, thus guiding the selection process and granting favor to the action if it were done on the date chosen.
134	3:7	abk4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	הִפִּ֣יל פּוּר֩	1	You can say this with an active form, and you can say who did the action. You can say, for example, “Haman had his servants cast a Pur.”
135	3:7	abk5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result	הִפִּ֣יל פּוּר֩	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this information first because it explains the rest of what happens in this verse.
136	3:7	j13r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הָמָ֗ן	1	Here, **face** represents the presence of a person. In this context, the phrase means that Haman was physically present when the lot was cast. Alternate translation: “as Haman watched”
137	3:7	j15r			מִ⁠יּ֧וֹם ׀ לְ⁠י֛וֹם וּ⁠מֵ⁠חֹ֛דֶשׁ לְ⁠חֹ֥דֶשׁ	1	This expression means that the lot was cast to select a particular day of the month and a particular month of the year.
138	3:7	j17r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	מִ⁠יּ֧וֹם ׀ לְ⁠י֛וֹם וּ⁠מֵ⁠חֹ֛דֶשׁ לְ⁠חֹ֥דֶשׁ	1	Haman was casting the lot to determine the best day and the best month to kill the Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to determine the best day and the best month to kill the Jews”
139	3:7	ih4b		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths	שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר הוּא־חֹ֥דֶשׁ אֲדָֽר	1	**Adar** is the name of the twelfth and last month of the Hebrew calendar. This name occurs several times in the story. Be sure to translate it consistently.
140	3:7	abk6			שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר הוּא־חֹ֥דֶשׁ אֲדָֽר	1	See how you decided in [2:16](../02/16.md) and the first part of this verse to represent the dates that are given in the Hebrew calendar in the book of Esther. Be consistent.
141	3:7	abk7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר הוּא־חֹ֥דֶשׁ אֲדָֽר	1	This means that the lot indicated the twelfth month of that year as the time for Haman to carry out his plan. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. (The day that was chosen is reported in verse 13.) Alternate translation: “the lot indicated the twelfth month, the month of Adar, as the best month to kill the Jews”
142	3:7	k3vd		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal	שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר	1	Alternative translation: “month twelve” or “the twelfth month”
143	3:8	abk8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר הָמָן֙ לַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֔וֹשׁ	1	The implication is that Haman then went to see the king so that he could speak with him. You could say that explicitly. Do not give your readers the impression that the king was present with Haman while he was casting the lot.
144	3:8	aig9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers	יֶשְׁנ֣⁠וֹ עַם־אֶחָ֗ד	1	**He** refers to the king, and **one people** refers to the Jews as a people group. So this means there is a people group or a group of people.
145	3:8	p4a8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	מְפֻזָּ֤ר וּ⁠מְפֹרָד֙	1	These two words mean almost the same thing. Haman uses the repetition to emphasize that the Jews are everywhere throughout the empire and so their influence, which he says is bad, will affect everyone. You could combine these words as UST does.
146	3:8	abk9			בֵּ֣ין הָֽ⁠עַמִּ֔ים בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל מְדִינ֣וֹת מַלְכוּתֶ֑⁠ךָ	1	Haman is saying that the Jews are mixed in with all the other peoples, and they live in every province.
147	3:8	abl0			וְ⁠דָתֵי⁠הֶ֞ם שֹׁנ֣וֹת מִ⁠כָּל־עָ֗ם וְ⁠אֶת־דָּתֵ֤י הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֵינָ֣⁠ם עֹשִׂ֔ים	1	Haman is saying that the Jews have their own set of laws, and he is accusing them of not obeying the king’s laws as a result.
148	3:8	r34x		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	דָּתֵ֤י הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙	1	Haman speaks to the king in the third person as a sign of respect. You could have him say, “your laws.” Or you could indicate this respect another way by having Haman begin by saying, “Your Majesty.”
149	3:8	bf9g			וְ⁠לַ⁠מֶּ֥לֶךְ אֵין־שֹׁוֶ֖ה לְ⁠הַנִּיחָֽ⁠ם	1	Haman is saying, “It is not good for you to allow them to live in your empire.” This can also be stated without the negative. Alternate translation: “the king should remove them” or “you should remove them”
150	3:8	j19r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	וְ⁠לַ⁠מֶּ֥לֶךְ	1	Haman speaks to the king in the third person as a sign of respect. You could express the same meaning in the second person by saying, “not good for you.”
151	3:9	abl1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	אִם־עַל־הַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב	1	Haman speaks to the king in third person as a form of respect.
152	3:9	abl2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	אִם־עַל־הַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב	1	See how you decided to translate this idiom in [1:19](../01/19.md). Alternate translation: “if it seems like a good idea to you, O king” or “if the king thinks this is a good idea” or “if this advice is pleasing to the king”
153	3:9	abl3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	יִכָּתֵ֖ב	1	You can say this with an active form, and you can say who would do the action. For example, you could say, “the king could write a decree” or “you could write a decree.”
154	3:9	abl4			לְ⁠אַבְּדָ֑⁠ם	1	This means that the decree would say that all the Jews should be killed.
155	3:9	eh3w		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	אֶשְׁקוֹל֙ עַל־יְדֵי֙ עֹשֵׂ֣י הַ⁠מְּלָאכָ֔ה	1	This could mean either of two possibilities: (1) Haman could mean that the king’s men will be able to collect a huge amount of money from the plunder that they would get from the Jews. Referring to the weight would be a way of saying, “I guarantee that it will be at least that much.” This reasoning agrees with 3:13, where the king’s letter specifies that those who kill the Jews can take their plunder. Alternate translation: “we will get so much plunder that the officers you send will be able to bring back” (Also see UST) (2) “**Weigh out into the hands**” could be an idiom that means Haman himself will pay the officers who will put the plan into effect. Haman will not do this personally, but it means that he will take responsibility for paying them from his own resources. Alternate translation: “From my own resources I will pay … to the men who do the work”
156	3:9	lhv5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney	וַ⁠עֲשֶׂ֨רֶת אֲלָפִ֜ים כִּכַּר־כֶּ֗סֶף	1	This would be worth over $300 million at current prices today. But since prices vary over time, if you expressed the value in modern measurements, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate. Instead you could express the amount using the ancient measurement, the talent, and explain in a note that a talent was equivalent to about 30 kilograms. Alternatively, you could specify the weight of the silver in the text, as UST does in metric tons.
157	3:9	vm59		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole	וַ⁠עֲשֶׂ֨רֶת אֲלָפִ֜ים כִּכַּר־כֶּ֗סֶף	1	The **talent** was the largest unit of money and **10,000** was the largest number in the counting system of the time. It is possible that Haman used these terms to represent a very large, but not precise, amount. Alternate translation: “a huge amount of silver” or “enormous amounts of silver”
158	3:9	abl5			עֹשֵׂ֣י הַ⁠מְּלָאכָ֔ה	1	This could mean: (1) those who work for the king in general (administrators) or (2) more specifically the officers whom Ahasuerus would send around the empire to organize the killing of the Jews.
159	3:9	abl7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	גִּנְזֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ	1	Haman speaks to the king in third person as a form of respect. You could also have him speak of “your royal treasuries.”
160	3:10	abl8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יָּ֧סַר הַ⁠מֶּ֛לֶךְ אֶת־טַבַּעְתּ֖⁠וֹ מֵ⁠עַ֣ל יָד֑⁠וֹ וַֽ⁠יִּתְּנָ֗⁠הּ לְ⁠הָמָ֧ן	1	The implication is that Ahasuerus thought that Haman’s suggestion was a good idea and he agreed to it. You could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the king agreed that this was a good idea, so”
161	3:10	abl9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	וַ⁠יָּ֧סַר הַ⁠מֶּ֛לֶךְ אֶת־טַבַּעְתּ֖⁠וֹ מֵ⁠עַ֣ל יָד֑⁠וֹ וַֽ⁠יִּתְּנָ֗⁠הּ לְ⁠הָמָ֧ן	1	**Giving the ring to Haman** showed that Haman could act on the king’s own authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the king gave Haman the power to act on his authority to carry out the plan. To show that, he gave Haman the ring he wore that had his official seal on it”
162	3:10	c9md		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	טַבַּעְתּ֖⁠וֹ	1	This was a special ring that could be used to imprint the king’s official seal on a law or decree. This ring had the king’s name or mark on it. When he put a wax seal on important papers, he would press the mark onto the seal. If a paper had this mark on its seal, people would know that what was written on the paper was written with the king’s authority and had to be obeyed. You could describe this as “the ring he wore that had his official seal on it.”
163	3:10	abm0			בֶּֽן־הַמְּדָ֛תָא הָ⁠אֲגָגִ֖י	1	This information about Haman’s identity is repeated to stress that the king giving him the signet ring was an official legal act that transferred power to him. (In the same way, legal documents today often use a person’s full name and other identifying information.) If you repeat this information in your own translation, your readers should see this significance.
164	3:10	abm1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish	צֹרֵ֥ר הַ⁠יְּהוּדִֽים	1	This phrase gives clarifying information about Haman. It means that he had become “the enemy of the Jews.”
165	3:11	sz4b		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	הַ⁠כֶּ֖סֶף נָת֣וּן לָ֑⁠ךְ	1	You can say this with an active form. This could mean one of the following things: (1) “You can keep the money from plundering the Jews for yourself.” (2) “I give you permission to take the money from the Jews and to give it to the men just as you have said.” (3) “You do not need to pay for the expenses of the plan yourself.” (4) This statement by the king may also be a formal and cultural way of expressing gratitude for the promised money without actually releasing Haman from paying the money into the treasury.
166	3:11	abm2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וְ⁠הָ⁠עָ֕ם לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת בּ֖⁠וֹ כַּ⁠טּ֥וֹב בְּ⁠עֵינֶֽי⁠ךָ	1	Here, **eyes** represent seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. The king is telling Haman that **he can do whatever he wants to the Jews**. Alternate translation: “you can do to the Jews as you see fit”
167	3:12	hx6c		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	וַ⁠יִּקָּרְאוּ֩ סֹפְרֵ֨י הַ⁠מֶּ֜לֶךְ	1	You can say this with an active form. You can also say who did the action. It was most likely Haman, since the king had given him authority to act on his behalf. So you could say, “Haman called in the royal scribes.” Alternate translation: “the king summoned his scribes”
168	3:12	t6qa		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-hebrewmonths	בַּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הָ⁠רִאשׁ֗וֹן בִּ⁠שְׁלוֹשָׁ֨ה עָשָׂ֣ר יוֹם֮ בּ⁠וֹ֒	1	You can add “of that same year” to show that Haman did this right after Ahasuerus agreed to his plan. Alternate translation: “on the thirteenth day of the first month”
169	3:12	abm3			בַּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הָ⁠רִאשׁ֗וֹן בִּ⁠שְׁלוֹשָׁ֨ה עָשָׂ֣ר יוֹם֮ בּ⁠וֹ֒	1	You can put this information first because it places the event within the timeline of the story.

He could see out of the entrance to the room into the courtyard and tell if anyone came and stood there. Anyone who did that was asking to speak to the king. Alternate translation: “who goes into the inner courtyard of the palace, where the king can see them”
256	4:11	abq9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יִקָּרֵ֗א	1	If it would help your readers to understand, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “when the king has not summoned that person”
257	4:11	abr0			אַחַ֤ת דָּת⁠וֹ֙	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this after the explanation of the law itself. Alternate translation: “this law applies to everyone in the kingdom”
258	4:11	abr1			לְ⁠הָמִ֔ית	1	Alternate translation: “that person must be executed” or “the guards will kill that person”

Alternate translation: “unless the king extends his golden scepter towards him”
260	4:11	abr3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	שַׁרְבִ֥יט הַ⁠זָּהָ֖ב	1	A scepter was an ornamental staff or wand that rulers carried or held as a symbol of their authority. According to this, the scepter of King Ahasuerus was made of gold. Alternate translation: “golden scepter”
261	4:11	ilp4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וְ⁠חָיָ֑ה	1	This means that the guards will not kill this person and he can proceed to speak to the king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “then the guards will not kill him and he can speak to the king”
262	4:11	abr4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠אֲנִ֗י לֹ֤א נִקְרֵ֨אתי֙ לָ⁠ב֣וֹא אֶל־הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ זֶ֖ה שְׁלוֹשִׁ֥ים יֽוֹם	1	Esther is saying by implication that she cannot speak to the king as Mordecai has requested because the king has not been calling for her, which would have given her an opportunity to speak to him. If she goes without being summoned, she could be put to death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly, as in the UST.
263	4:11	j49r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast	וַ⁠אֲנִ֗י	1	This expression indicates a contrast between Esther’s present situation and the situation she has just described.
264	4:11	abr5			זֶ֖ה שְׁלוֹשִׁ֥ים יֽוֹם	1	The phrase means that Esther has not been called in the king’s presence for a period of at least 30 days. You could use an equivalent expression in your language that would indicate this is a long enough time that Esther has reason to believe the king is not interested in seeing her. Alternate translation: “in over a month”
265	4:11	gv1v		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers	זֶ֖ה שְׁלוֹשִׁ֥ים יֽוֹם	1	Alternate translation: “thirty days”
266	4:12	abr6			וַ⁠יַּגִּ֣ידוּ לְ⁠מָרְדֳּכָ֔י	1	From this point on, the author focuses only on Mordecai and Esther and does not specify who the messenger is. You can use a general phrase such as, “they told Mordecai” or “Mordecai was told” or “messengers told Mordecai.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could continue to specify that the messenger was Hathak. The UST models a way to do that.
267	4:13	abr7			וַ⁠יֹּ֥אמֶר מָרְדֳּכַ֖י לְ⁠הָשִׁ֣יב אֶל־אֶסְתֵּ֑ר	1	Alternate translation: “then Mordecai sent back this message to Esther”

Alternate translation: “someone else will rise up from another place and rescue the Jews”
269	4:14	t3k7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	רֶ֣וַח וְ⁠הַצָּלָ֞ה	1	Here, **relief** and **deliverance** mean very similar things. They are used together to emphasize the great emotion behind being delivered from this great evil. If it works better in your language, you can use one word instead of two, as in the UST.
270	4:14	abs0			וְ⁠אַ֥תְּ וּ⁠בֵית־אָבִ֖י⁠ךְ תֹּאבֵ֑דוּ	1	The implication is that the Jews will be rescued starting in that other place, but the ones living in Susa will still be in danger because no one who could have helped them there (such as Esther) would have done anything. Alternate translation: “you and your relatives will be killed”
271	4:14	dtg7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion	וּ⁠מִ֣י יוֹדֵ֔עַ אִם־לְ⁠עֵ֣ת כָּ⁠זֹ֔את הִגַּ֖עַתְּ לַ⁠מַּלְכֽוּת	1	This is really a statement, and it is about what is happening right then. Mordecai asks it in question form so that Esther will think deeply about her role in this situation. Alternate translation: “who knows, perhaps it was to intervene in this very situation that you became queen”
272	4:16	d6cq		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	כָּל־הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֜ים הַֽ⁠נִּמְצְאִ֣ים בְּ⁠שׁוּשָׁ֗ן	1	You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “all the Jews who live here in Susa”
273	4:16	t2wg		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	וְ⁠צ֣וּמוּ עָ֠לַ⁠י	1	The verb **fast** here is plural, including Mordecai and all of the Jews. Fasting (that is, going without eating) was a symbolic act that the Jews did when they were praying intensely. You could make the connection with prayer explicit. Alternate translation: “fast and pray for me”
274	4:16	qw8v		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers	וְ⁠אַל־תֹּאכְל֨וּ וְ⁠אַל־תִּשְׁתּ֜וּ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ לַ֣יְלָה וָ⁠י֔וֹם	1	This expression means that Esther was asking the Jews in Susa not to eat or drink anything during the day or the night for a period of three days. Alternate translation: “tell them to not eat or drink anything for three days and three nights”
275	4:16	j51r			גַּם־אֲנִ֥י וְ⁠נַעֲרֹתַ֖⁠י אָצ֣וּם כֵּ֑ן	1	Alternate translation: “my maids and I will also fast”

279	4:17	abs5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַֽ⁠יַּעֲבֹ֖ר מָרְדֳּכָ֑י	1	The implication is that Mordecai did this after Hathak brought Esther’s reply back to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “so after Hathak told this to Mordecai, he went”
280	4:17	abs6			כְּ⁠כֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוְּתָ֥ה עָלָ֖י⁠ו אֶסְתֵּֽר	1	Alternate translation: “everything that Esther had told him to do”

284	5:2	z4mn		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	וַ⁠תִּגַּ֖ע בְּ⁠רֹ֥אשׁ הַ⁠שַּׁרְבִֽיט	1	Esta acción era probablemente habitual para los siervos de un rey en una corte persa, cuando el rey extendía el cetro real.
285	5:9	j75r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וְ⁠ט֣וֹב לֵ֑ב	1	Aquí, **corazón** representa la acción de pensar o sentir. La frase significa que Amán se sentía feliz.

This phrase probably means that Haman was boasting about the status he enjoyed in Persian society because he had many sons. Alternate translation: “how many sons he had”

293	6:intro	i9x7				0	# Esther 6 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter continues the story of Haman’s fall.\n\n## Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter\n\n### Approaching the king\n\nIt was not possible for a person to easily approach the king. Normally, access to him was very limited. There are several events in this chapter which show the layers of protection surrounding the king.
294	6:1	j85r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent	בַּ⁠לַּ֣יְלָה הַ⁠ה֔וּא	1	This introduces a new event in the story. Use a natural way of introducing a new event in your language.
295	6:1	abw9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification	נָדְדָ֖ה שְׁנַ֣ת הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ	1	Here, **sleep** is spoken of as if it were a living thing that could flee away. Alternate translation: “the king could not sleep”
296	6:1	abx1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר לְ⁠הָבִ֞יא	1	**He** means the king. The implication is that he told the young men who attended him to do this. Verses 3 and 5 indicate this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “so he commanded his servants to fetch”
297	6:1	abx2			סֵ֤פֶר הַ⁠זִּכְרֹנוֹת֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּמִ֔ים	1	This is equivalent to the expression “the book of the events of days” in [2:23](../02/23.md). See how you translated that expression. Alternate translation: “the royal chronicles” or “the records of what had happened during all the time that he had been king”
298	6:1	abx3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	וַ⁠יִּהְי֥וּ נִקְרָאִ֖ים	1	This means that the chronicles were read out loud. You can say this with an active form, and you can say who did the action. Alternate translation: “the young men got the chronicles and began to read them out loud”
299	6:1	j87r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ	1	Here, **face** represents the presence of a person. This phrase means that the book was being read in the king’s presence. Alternate translation: “to the king”
300	6:2	u4gi		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	וַ⁠יִּמָּצֵ֣א כָת֗וּב	1	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”
301	6:2	abx4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	הִגִּ֨יד מָרְדֳּכַ֜י עַל	1	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”
302	6:2	abx5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-events	הִגִּ֨יד מָרְדֳּכַ֜י עַל	1	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”
303	6:2	syd9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names	בִּגְתָ֣נָא וָ⁠תֶ֗רֶשׁ	1	These are the same two men who are named in [2:21](../02/21.md). 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.
304	6:2	abx6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	שְׁנֵי֙ סָרִיסֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ	1	See how you translated the term **eunuch** in [1:10](../01/10.md). Alternate translation: “two of the royal guardians”
305	6:2	abx7			מִ⁠שֹּׁמְרֵ֖י הַ⁠סַּ֑ף	1	See how you translated this expression in [2:23](../02/23.md). Alternate translation: “who protected the doorway to the king’s private quarters”
306	6:2	abx8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	בִּקְשׁוּ֙	1	Here, **seeking** means actively trying to do something. Alternate translation: “they had planned” or “they had tried”
307	6:2	j89r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	לִ⁠שְׁלֹ֣חַ יָ֔ד	1	As in [2:21](../02/21.md), 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”
308	6:3	lmz6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys	מַֽה־נַּעֲשָׂ֞ה יְקָ֧ר וּ⁠גְדוּלָּ֛ה לְ⁠מָרְדֳּכַ֖י	1	**Honor** and **greatness** have similar meanings and they are used together to emphasize that Mordecai should certainly have been honored in some grand way for saving the king’s life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this by putting the terms together. For example, you could say, “What great honor was done for Mordecai?” Alternate translation: “what did we do to reward Mordecai or to show that we appreciated what he did”
309	6:3	aby0		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	נַּעֲשָׂ֞ה	1	You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “what did I do” or “what did we do”
310	6:3	n2az		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	לֹא־נַעֲשָׂ֥ה עִמּ֖⁠וֹ דָּבָֽר	1	You can say this with an active form. However, it would be good to say this in a way that does not create the impression that the young men are accusing the king. Alternate translation: “no one did anything for him”
311	6:3	aby1			עַל־זֶ֑ה	1	Alternate translation: “for saving my life”
312	6:4	aby2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	מִ֣י בֶ⁠חָצֵ֑ר	1	This could mean either: (1) The king knows that there is someone in the courtyard, maybe because he heard someone walking there; he wants to know who it is. (2) Since there are always people around the palace, the king assumes that there must be someone out in the courtyard. In either case, the king wants to know if there is someone there with whom he could consult about the best way to honor Mordecai. As the story has already said in [1:13](../01/13.md), it was the king’s habit to consult his advisors on important questions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the king wanted to consult someone about the best way to honor Mordecai, so he asked, ‘who is in the courtyard’”
313	6:4	aby3			מִ֣י בֶ⁠חָצֵ֑ר	1	In order to present the events in logical and chronological order, you can put the king’s question last in the verse if that would be more natural in your language. Haman had already come in the courtyard by the time the king asked this question.
314	6:4	j91r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-time-background	וְ⁠הָמָ֣ן בָּ֗א לַ⁠חֲצַ֤ר בֵּית־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַ⁠חִ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה לֵ⁠אמֹ֣ר לַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ לִ⁠תְלוֹת֙ אֶֽת־מָרְדֳּכַ֔י עַל־הָ⁠עֵ֖ץ אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִ֥ין לֽ⁠וֹ	1	This sentence indicates that Haman had already entered the outer court when King Ahasuerus asked his question. You could indicate this with a phrase such as “at that moment” or “just then” or “while they were talking”
315	6:4	rg8t			לַ⁠חֲצַ֤ר בֵּית־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַ⁠חִ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה	1	This phrase is describing the first courtyard a person would come to after entering the palace from the outside. Alternate translation: “the outer courtyard of the palace”
316	6:4	vu7p			לֵ⁠אמֹ֣ר לַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ לִ⁠תְלוֹת֙ אֶֽת־מָרְדֳּכַ֔י	1	Alternate translation: “to tell the king that he wanted to hang Mordecai” or “to tell the king that he wanted to impale Mordecai”
317	6:4	at53			הָ⁠עֵ֖ץ אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִ֥ין לֽ⁠וֹ	1	Alternate translation: “on the pole that he had set up” or “on the gallows that he had set up for Mordecai”
318	6:4	aby4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	הָ⁠עֵ֖ץ	1	See how you translated this in [2:23](../02/23.md). Review the note there if that would be helpful. Be sure your translation is consistent in the chapters that follow.
319	6:5	aby5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ נַעֲרֵ֤י הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙	1	It is implied that the young men went and looked, perhaps through a window or a doorway, to see who might be in the courtyard before they answered the king. If it would be helpful in your language, you can say so. Alternate translation: “the young men who served the king looked and saw that Haman was in the courtyard. They said”
320	6:5	j93r		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	הִנֵּ֥ה	1	This is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If there is not a good way to translate this term in your language, this term can be omitted from the translation. You could also have the young men address the king directly to get his attention. Alternate translation: “O king”
321	6:5	j95r			יָבֽוֹא	1	Alternate translation: “he may come in”
322	6:6	j97r			וַ⁠יָּבוֹא֮ הָמָן֒ וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר ל⁠וֹ֙ הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ	1	Alternate translation: “when Haman came in, the king said”
323	6:6	ky5i		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	מַה־לַ⁠עֲשׂ֕וֹת בָּ⁠אִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ חָפֵ֣ץ בִּ⁠יקָר֑⁠וֹ	1	Here the king speaks of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person instead. Alternate translation: “what should I do for the man whom I would really like to honor”
324	6:6	n3r5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ חָפֵ֣ץ בִּ⁠יקָר֑⁠וֹ	1	**To delight** in doing something means to be glad to do it and to really want to do it. Alternate translation: “whom I am glad to honor” or “whom I want to honor”
325	6:6	jh4i		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר הָמָן֙ בְּ⁠לִבּ֔⁠וֹ	1	Here, **heart** could mean two different things: (1) Heart could represent the action of thinking or feeling. In that case, the phrase would mean “then Haman said in his thoughts.” (2) Heart could also be a metaphor meaning to be inside someone or something. In that case, the phrase would mean “then Haman said inside himself.” Either way, the phrase means that Haman was not saying this out loud, but saying it to himself in his thoughts. Alternate translation: “Haman thought to himself”
326	6:6	yft1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion	לְ⁠מִ֞י יַחְפֹּ֥ץ הַ⁠מֶּ֛לֶךְ לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת יְקָ֖ר יוֹתֵ֥ר מִמֶּֽ⁠נִּי	1	Haman is actually making a statement to himself rather than asking a question and trying to figure out the answer. He uses a question form to emphasize how true he believes the statement to be. If it would be helpful in your language, instead of a question, you could use a statement such as, “Surely there is no one whom the king would take pleasure in honoring more than me!” Alternate translation: “whom would the king like to honor more than me”
327	6:7	j1d1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	אִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ חָפֵ֥ץ בִּ⁠יקָרֽ⁠וֹ	1	**To delight** in doing something means to be glad to do it and to really want to do it. Alternate translation: “for a man the king is glad to honor” or “for a man the king wants to honor”

329	6:8	mz79		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	יָבִ֨יאוּ֙	1	The implication is that the king’s servants would do this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “let someone bring” or “tell your servants to bring”
330	6:8	aby7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	לְב֣וּשׁ מַלְכ֔וּת אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָֽבַשׁ־בּ֖⁠וֹ הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ	1	**Royalty** is an abstract noun that refers to anything that belongs to the king. You can translate this idea with an adjective, “a royal garment.” Alternate translation: “one of your own royal robes that you have already worn yourself” or “one of the robes you wear to show that you are the king”
331	6:8	aby8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person	אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָֽבַשׁ־בּ֖⁠וֹ הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ	1	Haman speaks to the king in the third person as a sign of respect. You can have him address the king in the second person. Alternate translation: “that you have already worn yourself”

334	6:8	abz0		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִתַּ֛ן כֶּ֥תֶר מַלְכ֖וּת בְּ⁠רֹאשֽׁ⁠וֹ	1	The implication is that this would be done to show that this was one of the king’s own horses.

335	6:8	abz1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	כֶּ֥תֶר מַלְכ֖וּת	1	**Royalty** is an abstract noun that refers to the royal authority that the king exercised. You can translate this idea with an adjective, “a royal crown.”

It appears that the king himself would not perform such acts of service to one of his subjects even if he really wanted to honor that person. So Haman is saying that on behalf of the king, representing his authority and power, one of the king’s most noble officials should present the man with the robe and the horse. Alternate translation: “then, on your behalf, have one of your most noble officials present the man with the robe and the horse”

In either case, this would have been a public area where people could gather, and so it was a place where a great number of people would have seen how the king was honoring Mordecai. Alternate translation: “through the public square of the city”
342	6:9	qs3k			וְ⁠קָרְא֣וּ	1	Alternate translation: “and tell the noble official and servants to proclaim” or “and have them shout out”

350	6:10	gln7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	אַל־תַּפֵּ֣ל דָּבָ֔ר	1	Here the action of letting **fall** is a metaphor meaning to leave out or leave unfulfilled. The phrase means that Haman must do absolutely everything that he said. Alternate translation: “do not leave out anything that you suggested”
351	6:10	abz8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives	אַל־תַּפֵּ֣ל דָּבָ֔ר	1	This can be stated positively. Alternate translation: “Be sure to do absolutely everything that you have said”

355	6:12	uri5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	אָבֵ֖ל וַ⁠חֲפ֥וּי רֹֽאשׁ	1	People often covered their heads to show that they were either extremely sad or ashamed. Alternate translation: “covering his head because he felt completely disgraced”
356	6:13	j3d1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	וַ⁠יְסַפֵּ֨ר הָמָ֜ן	1	The implication is that, just as Haman gathered his friends together in [5:10](../05/10.md) to boast of his status, now he gathered them together once again to talk about what had just happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Haman brought all his friends together again. He told …”
357	6:13	aca1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר קָרָ֑⁠הוּ	1	The implication is that he told about the things that had happened to him “that day.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly.

Haman wanted Mordecai to bow down in front of him. But instead, the story would be saying that Haman is starting to bow down (in a metaphorical sense) in front of Mordecai. Alternate translation: “Mordecai has begun to humiliate you. If he … ” (2) “Fall” could be a figurative way of saying “be killed in battle.” In that case, Zeresh would be comparing Haman and Mordecai to two soldiers who are fighting. She is saying that Haman has already “begun to fall,” that is, he is losing the battle, and he is likely to be killed. Alternate translation: “Mordecai has begun to defeat you. Since he …”
361	6:13	j3d3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֙	1	Here, **face** represents the front of a person. This could mean: (1) that Haman has already begun to fall down (bow down) in front of Mordecai figuratively, or (2) that Haman and Mordecai are facing one another in hand-to-hand combat. Alternate translation: “before whom” or “in whose presence”
362	6:13	p5t2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	מִ⁠זֶּ֣רַע הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֡ים	1	Here, **seed** means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is among the descendants of the Jews”
363	6:13	nan5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	לֹא־תוּכַ֣ל ל֔⁠וֹ	1	Here Haman’s wife and friends are again speaking as if Haman is in a battle with Mordecai. Alternate translation: “you will not win against him” or “you will not have greater honor than he has”
364	6:13	j3d5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast	כִּֽי	1	This conjunction indicates a contrast between the actions of prevailing (in the previous clause) and falling.
365	6:13	j3d7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	נָפ֥וֹל תִּפּ֖וֹל	1	Here the action of **falling**: (1) either refers once again to prostrating oneself, and is a metaphor meaning to be dishonored and defeated, or (2) Haman’s wife and friends are saying that for Haman, defeat will be the outcome of the figurative battle. Alternate translation: “you will certainly lose to him”
366	6:13	j3d9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	לְ⁠פָנָֽי⁠ו	1	Here, **face** represents the front of a person. The phrase means that Haman will lose in his struggle with Mordecai. Alternate translation: “before him” or “in his presence”

369	6:14	aca5			וַ⁠יַּבְהִ֨לוּ֙ לְ⁠הָבִ֣יא אֶת־הָמָ֔ן	1	Alternative translation: “they wanted to bring Haman quickly”

Ambas preguntan sobre la identidad del hombre que está tratando de destruir a los judíos. El Rey Asuero usa la repetición para enfatizar cuán indignado está.

Sin embargo, desde otra perspectiva, tanto la identidad del hombre como su ubicación son importantes de saber para que su complot pueda ser detenido. Así que, por esa razón, también podrías decidir incluir ambas frases en tu traducción.

Sabrían de qué se trataba el ayuno. Podría ser: (1) el ayuno como parte de Purim. Sabemos que algunos judíos ayunaban el día 13 del mes de Adar para conmemorar el día en que Amán pretendía destruirlos, o (2) otras épocas de ayuno. Desde la destrucción de Jerusalén, los judíos ayunaban y guardaban luto en el quinto mes del año para mostrar su dolor por lo sucedido. (El relato se refiere a la conquista babilónica de Jerusalén en [2:6](../02/06.md).). Puedes poner esta información en una nota a pie de página si ayuda a tus lectores a entenderlo.
