< Esther 10 >
1 rex vero Asuerus omnem terram et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias
And King Ahasuerus sets a tribute on the land and the islands of the sea;
2 cuius fortitudo et imperium et dignitas atque sublimitas qua exaltavit Mardocheum scripta sunt in libris Medorum atque Persarum
and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king made him great, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles 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 [is] second to King Ahasuerus, and a great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brothers, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
