< Estera 10 >
1 Kralj Ahasver udari danak na zemlju i na otoke morske.
And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.
2 Sva djela njegove moći i hrabrosti, a tako i izvještaj o uzdignuću Mordokaja koga je kralj uzvisio, zapisani su u Ljetopisima kraljeva Medije i Perzije:
And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:
3 kako je Židov Mordokaj bio prvi iza kralja Ahasvera, velik u očima Židova, voljen od mnoštva svoje subraće kao pobornik blagostanja svoga naroda i glasnik mira za svoj rod.
And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
