< Esther 10 >
1 Then King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on the land and on the coastlands along the sea.
Написа же царь по всему царствию своему, еже на земли и на мори,
2 All the achievements of his power and might, together with the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.
и силу свою, и мужественная исправления, богатство же и славу царствия своего: се, писана суть в книзе царей Персских и Мидских, на память.
3 Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Ahasuerus. He was great among the Jews and popular with his many Jewish brothers, for he sought the welfare of his people and he spoke for the peace of all his people.
Мардохей бо вторый бе по цари Артаксерксе, и велик бе во царствии и прославлен от Иудей и любимь, поведаше содеянная всему языку своему.
