Und er war ein Vormund der Hadassa, das ist Esther, eine Tochter seines Oheims; denn sie hatte weder Vater noch Mutter. Und sie war eine schöne und feine Dirne. Und da ihr Vater und ihre Mutter starb, nahm sie Mardochai auf zur Tochter.
Y había criado a Hadassa, que es Esther, hija de su tío, porque no tenía padre ni madre; y era moza de hermosa forma y de buen parecer; y como su padre y su madre murieron, Mardochêo la había tomado por hija suya.
Él criaba a Hadasa, es decir, Ester, hija de su tío, pues ella no tenía padre ni madre. La joven era de hermosa figura y de buen parecer. Al morir su padre y su madre, Mardoqueo la había tomado como hija suya.
Il élevait Hadassa, qui est Esther, fille de son oncle; car elle n'avait ni père ni mère. La jeune fille était belle de taille et belle de figure. A la mort de son père et de sa mère, Mardochée l'avait adoptée pour fille.
Ed egli allevava Hadassa, la quale è Ester, figliuola del suo zio; perciocchè ella non avea nè padre nè madre; e la fanciulla era formosa, e bella di aspetto; e dopo la morte di suo padre e di sua madre, Mardocheo se l’avea presa per figliuola.
Este criara a Hadassa (que é Ester, filha de seu tio), porque não tinha pai nem mãe; e era jovem bela de presença e formosa; e, morrendo seu pai e sua mãe, Mardoqueu a tomara por sua filha.
