Ester 10

1 Kalpasanna, nangituyang ni Ari Ahasuero iti panagbuis kadagiti daga ken kadagiti daga iti igid ti baybay.

Then King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on the land and on the coastlands along the sea.

2 Amin dagiti nagun-od ti pannakabalinna ken kinamaingelna, agraman ti pakasaritaan ti kinatan-ok ni Mardokeo, isu a nangitan-okan kenkuana ti ari, naisurat dagitoy Iti Libro dagiti Cronicas dagiti Ari ti Media ken Persia.

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.

3 Ni Mardokeo a Judio ti maikadua iti saad ni Ari Ahasuero. Natan-ok isuna kadagiti Judio ken nalatak kadagiti adu a kakabsatna a Judio, gapu ta kinalikagumanna ti pagsayaatan dagiti tattaona, ken nagsao para iti kinatalna dagiti amin a tattaona.

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.
