< Esther 10 >
1 King Xerxes imposed taxes throughout the empire, even to its most distant shores.
Kralj Ahasvér je naložil davek deželi in morskim otokom.
2 All he accomplished through his power and strength, as well as the complete account of the high position to which the king promoted Mordecai, are written down in the Book of the Records of the kings of Media and Persia.
Vsa dejanja njegove oblasti, njegove moči in razglas Mordohajeve veličine, kamor ga je kralj napredoval, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi kraljev Medije in Perzije?
3 For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Xerxes, leader of the Jews and highly-respected in the Jewish community, he worked to help his people and improve the security of all Jews.
Kajti Jud Mordohaj je bil drugi za kraljem Ahasvérjem in velik med Judi in sprejet od množice svojih bratov, prizadevajoč si za blagostanje svojega ljudstva in govoril je mir vsemu svojemu semenu.
