Esther 10

1 And king Achashverosh imposed a tribute upon the land, and the isles of the sea.

וַיָּשֶׂם֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ אֲחַשֵׁרֹשׁ (אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֧ושׁ ׀) מַ֛ס עַל־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְאִיֵּ֥י הַיָּֽם׃

2 And all the acts of his strength and of his might, and the exposition of the greatness of Mordecai, wherewith the king made him great, behold they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

וְכָל־מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה תָקְפֹּו֙ וּגְב֣וּרָתֹ֔ו וּפָרָשַׁת֙ גְּדֻלַּ֣ת מָרְדֳּכַ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר גִּדְּלֹ֖ו הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ הֲלֹוא־הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל־סֵ֙פֶר֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י הַיָּמִ֔ים לְמַלְכֵ֖י מָדַ֥י וּפָרָֽס׃

3 For Mordecai the Jew was the second in rank after king Achashverosh, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the multitude of his brethren, a promoter of good to his people, and speaking peace to all its seed.

כִּ֣י ׀ מָרְדֳּכַ֣י הַיְּהוּדִ֗י מִשְׁנֶה֙ לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֔ושׁ וְגָדֹול֙ לַיְּהוּדִ֔ים וְרָצ֖וּי לְרֹ֣ב אֶחָ֑יו דֹּרֵ֥שׁ טֹוב֙ לְעַמֹּ֔ו וְדֹבֵ֥ר שָׁלֹ֖ום לְכָל־זַרְעֹֽו׃
