Книга Есфири 10

1 Написа же царь по всему царствию своему, еже на земли и на мори,

And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2 и силу свою, и мужественная исправления, богатство же и славу царствия своего: се, писана суть в книзе царей Персских и Мидских, на память.

And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 Мардохей бо вторый бе по цари Артаксерксе, и велик бе во царствии и прославлен от Иудей и любимь, поведаше содеянная всему языку своему.

For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.
