< Esther 10 >

1 Rex vero Assuerus omnem terram, et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias:
King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
2 cuius fortitudo et imperium, et dignitas atque sublimitas, qua exaltavit Mardochaeum, scripta sunt in libris Medorum, atque Persarum:
Are not 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 Media and Persia?
3 et quomodo Mardochaeus Iudaici generis secundus a rege Assuero fuerit: et magnus apud Iudaeos et acceptabilis plebi fratrum suorum, quaerens bona populo suo, et loquens ea, quae ad pacem seminis sui pertinerent.
For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
