< Esther 10 >

1 Rex vero Assuerus omnem terram, et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias:
Truly, king Artaxerxes made all the land, and all the islands of the sea, tributaries.
2 cuius fortitudo et imperium, et dignitas atque sublimitas, qua exaltavit Mardochæum, scripta sunt in libris Medorum, atque Persarum:
And his strength and his authority, and the dignity and supremacy with which he exalted Mordecai, have been written in the books of the Medes and the Persians,
3 et quomodo Mardochæus Iudaici generis secundus a rege Assuero fuerit: et magnus apud Iudæos et acceptabilis plebi fratrum suorum, quærens bona populo suo, et loquens ea, quæ ad pacem seminis sui pertinerent.
and how Mordecai of Jewish birth, was second after king Artaxerxes, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking about things which pertained to peace for their descendants.
