< एस्तर 10 >

And King Ahasuerus sets a tribute on the land and the islands 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 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 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 [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.
