< Esther 10 >
1 Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
O rei Assuero fez uma homenagem em terra e nas ilhas do mar.
2 And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
Aren't 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, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of the Media and Persia?
3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
Para Mordecai o judeu estava ao lado do rei Assuero, e grande entre os judeus e aceito pela multidão de seus irmãos, buscando o bem de seu povo e falando de paz a todos os seus descendentes.
