אֶסְתֵר 10

1 וַיָּשֶׂם֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ אֲחַשֵׁרֹשׁ (אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֧ושׁ ׀) מַ֛ס עַל־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְאִיֵּ֥י הַיָּֽם׃

And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and [upon] the isles of the sea.

2 וְכָל־מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה תָקְפֹּו֙ וּגְב֣וּרָתֹ֔ו וּפָרָשַׁת֙ גְּדֻלַּ֣ת מָרְדֳּכַ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר גִּדְּלֹ֖ו הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ הֲלֹוא־הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל־סֵ֙פֶר֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י הַיָּמִ֔ים לְמַלְכֵ֖י מָדַ֥י וּפָרָֽס׃

And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 כִּ֣י ׀ מָרְדֳּכַ֣י הַיְּהוּדִ֗י מִשְׁנֶה֙ לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֔ושׁ וְגָדֹול֙ לַיְּהוּדִ֔ים וְרָצ֖וּי לְרֹ֣ב אֶחָ֑יו דֹּרֵ֥שׁ טֹוב֙ לְעַמֹּ֔ו וְדֹבֵ֥ר שָׁלֹ֖ום לְכָל־זַרְעֹֽו׃

For Mordecai the Jew [was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
