Estera 10

1 Kralj Ahasver udari danak na zemlju i na otoke morske.

King Xerxes imposed taxes throughout the empire, even to its most distant shores.

2 Sva djela njegove moći i hrabrosti, a tako i izvještaj o uzdignuću Mordokaja koga je kralj uzvisio, zapisani su u Ljetopisima kraljeva Medije i Perzije:

All he accomplished through his power and strength, as well as the complete account of the high position to which the king promoted Mordecai, are written down in the Book of the Records of the kings of Media and Persia.

3 kako je Židov Mordokaj bio prvi iza kralja Ahasvera, velik u očima Židova, voljen od mnoštva svoje subraće kao pobornik blagostanja svoga naroda i glasnik mira za svoj rod.

For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Xerxes, leader of the Jews and highly-respected in the Jewish community, he worked to help his people and improve the security of all Jews.
