3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
3 Kwa maana Mordekai Myahudi akawa wa pili wake mfalme Ahasuero, na mkuu wa Wayahudi, amependeza mbele ya jamii ya ndugu zake; ambaye aliwatafuta watu wake wema, na kuiangalia hali njema ya wazao wao wote.
