Esther 10

1 King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

rex vero Asuerus omnem terram et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias

2 Are not 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, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

cuius fortitudo et imperium et dignitas atque sublimitas qua exaltavit Mardocheum scripta sunt in libris Medorum atque Persarum

3 For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.

et quomodo Mardochaeus Iudaici generis secundus a rege Assuero fuerit et magnus apud Iudaeos et acceptabilis plebi fratrum suorum quaerens bona populo suo et loquens ea quae ad pacem seminis sui pertinerent
