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 Sapagka't si Mardocheo na Judio ay pangalawa ng haring Assuero, at dakila sa gitna ng mga Judio, at kinalulugdan ng karamihan ng kaniyang mga kapatid: na humahanap ng ikabubuti ng kaniyang bayan, at nagsasalita ng kapayapaan sa kaniyang buong lahi.
