< Esteres 10 >
1 Un ķēniņš Ahasverus uzlika klausību zemei un jūras salām.
Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
2 Bet visi viņa varas un viņa stipruma darbi un Mardakaja lielā paaugstināšana, ar ko ķēniņš viņu paaugstinājis, tas viss rakstīts Mēdiešu un Persiešu ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
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 Jo Jūds Mardakajs bija otrais pie ķēniņa Ahasverus un augsts pie Jūdiem un pieņēmīgs(patīkams) pie visiem saviem brāļiem; jo viņš meklēja labumu priekš savas tautas, un runāja par visa sava dzimuma labklāšanos.
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.
