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.

Y el rey Asuero impuso un impuesto sobre la tierra y sobre las islas del mar.

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.

Y todos sus actos de poder y su gran fuerza y la historia completa del lugar elevado que el rey dio a Mardoqueo, ¿no están registrados en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Media y Persia?

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.

Para Mardoqueo, el judío, era superado solo por el rey Asuero, y grande entre los judíos y respetado por el cuerpo de sus compatriotas; trabajando por el bien de su pueblo, y diciendo palabras de paz a toda su simiente.
