एस्तर 10

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

And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon 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 power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not 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 next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the welfare of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
