Книга Есфири 10

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

King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.

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

All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king advanced him, are they not recorded in the book of the chronicles 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 next in rank to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and loved by them all. He sought the good of his people and promoted the welfare of their descendants.
