Esther 10

1 King Xerxes required that all the people in his empire pay taxes. Even the people who lived on the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] (OR, in coastal areas) were required to pay taxes.

Kralj Ahasvér je naložil davek deželi in morskim otokom.

2 And all the great and powerful things that Xerxes did were written in the scroll called/entitled ‘The record of the things done by the kings of Media and Persia’. In this book were also written [the things done] by Mordecai, the man whom the king had greatly honored.

Vsa dejanja njegove oblasti, njegove moči in razglas Mordohajeve veličine, kamor ga je kralj napredoval, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi kraljev Medije in Perzije?

3 Mordecai, who was a Jew, became the king’s most important official, and [all] the Jews also considered him to be a very great man. They [all] respected him, because he did many good things for the Jews, and he often asked [the king] to do good things for them.

Kajti Jud Mordohaj je bil drugi za kraljem Ahasvérjem in velik med Judi in sprejet od množice svojih bratov, prizadevajoč si za blagostanje svojega ljudstva in govoril je mir vsemu svojemu semenu.
