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 wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
