एस्तर 10

1 तब राजा अहासूरसले आफ्नो साम्राज्य र समुद्री छेउका देशहरूमा कर लगाए ।

And king Achashverosh imposed a tribute upon the land, and the isles of the sea.

2 तिनको शक्ति र ताकतका सबै प्राप्‍तिसाथै राजाले उच्‍च दर्जा दिएका मोर्दकैको महानताको पूर्ण विवरण मादी र फारसका राजाहरूका इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।

And all the acts of his strength and of his might, and the exposition of the greatness of Mordecai, wherewith the king made him great, behold they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

3 यहूदी मोर्दकै राजा अहासूरसको दोस्रो दर्जामा थिए । तिनी यहूदीहरूका बिचमा महान् थिए, र तिनका धेरै जना यहूदी दाजुभाइका माझमा लोकप्रिय थिए, किनकि तिनले आफ्नो जातिको भलाइ गरे र आफ्ना सबै मानिसको शान्तिको पक्षमा बोले ।

For Mordecai the Jew was the second in rank after king Achashverosh, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the multitude of his brethren, a promoter of good to his people, and speaking peace to all its seed.
