Esther 10

1 King Xerxes required that all the people in his empire pay taxes. Even the people who lived on the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] (OR, in coastal areas) were required to pay taxes.

Potom uložil král Asverus daň na zemi i na ostrovy mořské.

2 And all the great and powerful things that Xerxes did were written in the scroll called/entitled ‘The record of the things done by the kings of Media and Persia’. In this book were also written [the things done] by Mordecai, the man whom the king had greatly honored.

Všickni pak činové síly jeho a moci jeho, i vypsání důstojnosti Mardocheovy, kterouž ho zvelebil král, to vše zapsáno jest v knize o králích Médských a Perských.

3 Mordecai, who was a Jew, became the king’s most important official, and [all] the Jews also considered him to be a very great man. They [all] respected him, because he did many good things for the Jews, and he often asked [the king] to do good things for them.

Nebo Mardocheus Žid byl druhý po králi Asverovi, a veliký u Židů, i vzácný u všeho množství bratří svých, pečuje o dobré lidu svého, a způsobuje pokoj všemu semeni svému.
