Esther 10

1 Rex vero Assuerus omnem terram, et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias:

King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.

2 cuius fortitudo et imperium, et dignitas atque sublimitas, qua exaltavit Mardochaeum, scripta sunt in libris Medorum, atque Persarum:

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, are they not recorded 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 in rank to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and loved by them all. He sought the good of his people and promoted the welfare of their descendants.
