Ester 10

1 Raja Ahasyweros mengadakan kerja paksa, bukan hanya pada rakyat di daerah-daerah pantai laut dalam kerajaannya, tetapi juga di daerah-daerah pedalaman.

And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.

2 Segala perbuatannya yang besar dan hebat, dan juga kisah lengkap tentang bagaimana ia mengangkat Mordekhai menjadi pejabat tinggi, tercatat dalam buku sejarah raja-raja Persia dan Media.

And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:

3 Mordekhai, orang Yahudi itu tetap menduduki jabatan tertinggi di bawah Raja Ahasyweros sendiri. Mordekhai dihormati dan disukai oleh orang-orang sebangsanya. Ia berjuang untuk keselamatan dan kesejahteraan bangsanya serta seluruh keturunan mereka.

And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
