מַֽה־נַּעֲשָׂ֞ה יְקָ֧ר וּגְדוּלָּ֛ה לְמָרְדֳּכַ֖י
what bestowed honor and,distinction on,Mordecai
Honor and greatness have similar meanings and they are used together to emphasize that Mordecai should certainly have been honored in some grand way for saving the king’s life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this by putting the terms together. For example, you could say, “What great honor was done for Mordecai?” Alternate translation: “what did we do to reward Mordecai or to show that we appreciated what he did”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נַּעֲשָׂ֞ה

You can say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “what did I do” or “what did we do”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
לֹא־נַעֲשָׂ֥ה עִמּ֖וֹ דָּבָֽר
not done with=him/it anything
You can say this with an active form. However, it would be good to say this in a way that does not create the impression that the young men are accusing the king. Alternate translation: “no one did anything for him”

6:3 What reward or recognition did we ever give Mordecai? The Persian kings were known for generosity to their supporters, so the king was probably surprised that nothing had been done.
