And King Ahasuerus sets a tribute on the land and the islands of the sea;

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 Mordekai ará Júù ni ó jẹ́ igbákejì ọba Ahaswerusi, ó tóbi láàrín àwọn Júù, ó sì jẹ́ ẹni iyì lọ́dọ̀ àwọn Júù ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ fún ìre àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ fún àlàáfíà gbogbo àwọn Júù.
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.
