Ester 10

1 Y EL rey Assuero impuso tributo sobre la tierra y las islas de la mar.2 Y toda la obra de su fortaleza, y de su valor, y la declaración de la grandeza de Mardochêo, con que el rey le engrandeció, ¿no está escrito en el libro de los anales de los reyes de Media y de Persia?3 Porque Mardochêo Judío fué segundo después del rey Assuero, y grande entre los Judíos, y acepto á la multitud de sus hermanos, procurando el bien de su pueblo, y hablando paz para toda su simiente.

Esther 10

Mordecai’s Fame Increases

1 King Ahasuerus then imposed forced labor on the land and on the coastlands of the sea.2 Now all the actions carried out under his authority and his great achievements, along with an exact statement concerning the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king promoted, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

3 Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus. He was the highest-rankingt Jew, and he was admired by his numerous relatives.t He worked enthusiasticallyt for the good of his people and was an advocate for the welfare oft all his descendants.s
