< 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.
ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನು ದೇಶದ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ದ್ವೀಪಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ತೆರಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ನೇಮಿಸಿದನು.
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.
ಅವನ ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳೂ ಅವನ ಪರಾಕ್ರಮವೂ ಅರಸನು ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈಯನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಿದ ಮಹತ್ತಿನ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧಿಯೂ ಮೇದ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾರಸಿಯ ಅರಸರ ಇತಿಹಾಸಗಳ ಗ್ರಂಥದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದಿರುತ್ತವೆ.
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.
ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯನಾದ ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈ ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನಿಗೆ ಎರಡನೆಯವನೂ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಸನ್ಮಾನಿತನೂ ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರ ಸಮೂಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಗೌರವ ಪಾತ್ರನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜನರ ಹಿತಚಿಂತಕನೂ ತನ್ನ ಸಂತಾನದವರಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷೇಮಾಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯನ್ನು ಮಾತನಾಡುವವನೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದನು.
