17 As for putting the interests of others ahead of one's own, we have an excellent example in Esther, who became queen of the Persian Empire in the fifth century B.C.E. Although living in a palace, she was willing to put her own life at risk in behalf of God's people, acting in harmony with his will.
17 Malunghana ni ku rhangisa swilaveko swa van'wana eka swa hina, hi ni xikombiso lexinene ngopfu xa Estere, loyi a veke nsati wa hosi ya Mfumo wa Peresiya hi lembe-xidzana ra vuntlhanu B.C.E. Hambileswi a a tshama exigodlhweni, a a tiyimiserile ku hoxa vutomi byakwe ekhombyeni hikwalaho ka vanhu va Xikwembu a endla swilo hi ku pfumelelana ni ku rhandza ka xona.
