which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem with the,captives which/who carried_away with Jeconiah king Yehuda which/who carried_away Nebukadnetstsar king Bāⱱel
The story now tells about something that happened many years before. This is background information that explains how this Jewish family came to live in Susa. You can introduce this by saying something like, “Many years earlier.”

אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָגְלָה֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔יִם
which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: “King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had taken Kish away from Jerusalem along with some other captives”
Note 3 topic: writing-background
אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָגְלָה֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔יִם
which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem
You can bring this information forward from later in the verse because it provides background information that helps identify Mordecai.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָגְלָה֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔יִם
which/who taken_into_exile from,Jerusalem
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say where King Nebuchadnezzar brought the people that he took away from Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “had taken Kish away from Jerusalem … and brought him to Babylon.”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

This means that the two things happened at the same time. You can indicate this with a phrase like “at the same time that he took.”
Note 6 topic: translate-names
יְכָנְיָ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֑ה
Jeconiah king Yehuda
In the historical passage where this event is described (2 Kings 24:8–17), this king is called Jehoiachin. That was another name by which he was known. You can call him Jehoiachin here in Esther if you think that would help your readers recognize him better.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶגְלָ֔ה נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּ֖ר מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל
which/who which/who carried_away Nebukadnetstsar king Bāⱱel
You can say where King Nebuchadnezzar brought this king when he took him away from Jerusalem. For example, you can say, “Nebuchadnezzar … took King Jehoiachin of Judah away from Jerusalem and brought him to Babylon.”
2:6 His family (literally He): Since King Jehoiachin was exiled in 597 BC (2 Kgs 24:6-16), over 100 years earlier, it was probably one of Mordecai’s ancestors who was part of the group taken into Babylonian captivity.
