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.

१राजा क्षयर्ष ने देश और समुद्र के टापुओं पर कर लगाया।

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.

२उसके माहात्म्य और पराक्रम के कामों, और मोर्दकै की उस बड़ाई का पूरा ब्योरा, जो राजा ने उसकी की थी, क्या वह मादै और फारस के राजाओं के इतिहास की पुस्तक में नहीं लिखा है?

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.

३यहूदी मोर्दकै, क्षयर्ष राजा ही के बाद था, और यहूदियों की दृष्टि में बड़ा था, और उसके सब भाई उससे प्रसन्न थे, क्योंकि वह अपने लोगों की भलाई की खोज में रहा करता था और अपने सब लोगों से शान्ति की बातें कहा करता था।
