एस्तेर 10
King Xerxes required that all the people in his empire pay taxes. Even the people who lived on the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] (OR, in coastal areas) were required to pay taxes.
2 २ त्याची सामर्थ्याची व पराक्रमाची जी कृत्ये, त्यांची आणि मर्दखयाचे महत्व, राजाने ज्यांना थोर केले ते पारस आणि माद्य राजांच्या इतिहासाच्या ग्रंथात लिहिले आहेत.
And all the great and powerful things that Xerxes did were written in the scroll called/entitled ‘The record of the things done by the kings of Media and Persia’. In this book were also written [the things done] by Mordecai, the man whom the king had greatly honored.
3 ३ राजा अहश्वेरोशाच्या खालोखाल यहूदी मर्दखयाचे स्थान होते. त्याचे यहूदी बांधव त्यास फार मान देत. कारण लोकांच्या भल्यासाठी तो खूप मेहनत घेई. त्याच्या सर्व लोकांशी शांततेने बोलत असे.
Mordecai, who was a Jew, became the king’s most important official, and [all] the Jews also considered him to be a very great man. They [all] respected him, because he did many good things for the Jews, and he often asked [the king] to do good things for them.
