Esther 10

1 Or le roi Assuérus rendit toute la terre et toutes les îles de la mer tributaires.

King Xerxes imposed taxes throughout the empire, even to its most distant shores.

2 Sa force, et son empire, et la dignité et la grandeur à laquelle il éleva Mardochée, sont écrits dans les livres des Mèdes et des Perses;

All he accomplished through his power and strength, as well as the complete account of the high position to which the king promoted Mordecai, are written down in the Book of the Records of the kings of Media and Persia.

3 Et comme Mardochée, de la race judaïque, devint le second après le roi Assuérus, grand parmi les Juifs, et agréable à la foule de ses frères, cherchant le bien pour son peuple, et ne disant que ce qui intéressait la paix de sa race.

For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Xerxes, leader of the Jews and highly-respected in the Jewish community, he worked to help his people and improve the security of all Jews.
