< Esther 10 >
1 rex vero Asuerus 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 Mardocheum scripta sunt in libris Medorum atque Persarum
Aren’t 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 amongst the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
