أَسْتِير 10

١ 1 وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ جِزْيَةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَزَائِرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

٢ 2 وَكُلُّ عَمَلِ سُلْطَانِهِ وَجَبَرُوتِهِ وَإِذَاعَةُ عَظَمَةِ مُرْدَخَايَ ٱلَّذِي عَظَّمَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ؟

And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ مُرْدَخَايَ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ ثَانِيَ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، وَعَظِيمًا بَيْنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ، وَمَقْبُولًا عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ، طَالِبًا ٱلْخَيْرَ لِشَعْبِهِ وَمُتَكَلِّمًا بِٱلسَّلَامِ لِكُلِّ نَسْلِهِ.

For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.
