Estera 10

1 Kralj Ahasver udari danak na zemlju i na otoke morske.

King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.

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:

All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king advanced him, are they not recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

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.

For Mordecai the Jew was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and loved by them all. He sought the good of his people and promoted the welfare of their descendants.
