< Esther 10 >
1 And the king Ahasuerus setteth a tribute on the land and the isles of the sea;
O rei Assuero fez uma homenagem em terra e nas ilhas do mar.
2 and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king made him great, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of Media and Persia?
Aren't all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of the Media and Persia?
3 For Mordecai the Jew [is] second to king Ahasuerus, and a great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
Para Mordecai o judeu estava ao lado do rei Assuero, e grande entre os judeus e aceito pela multidão de seus irmãos, buscando o bem de seu povo e falando de paz a todos os seus descendentes.
