Esther 10

1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and [upon] the isles of the sea.

Kralj Ahasver udari danak na zemlju i na otoke morske.

2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

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:

3 For Mordecai the Jew [was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

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.
