< Esther 10 >

1 rex vero Asuerus omnem terram et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias
Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
2 cuius fortitudo et imperium et dignitas atque sublimitas qua exaltavit Mardocheum scripta sunt in libris Medorum atque Persarum
And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not 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 second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
