Grandeza de Mardoqueo

10 El rey Asuero impuso tributo sobre el país, hasta las costas del mar. Y todos los hechos de su poder y autoridad, y el relato de la grandeza que Mardoqueo recibió de parte del rey, quedaron registrados en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Media y de Persia. Porque Mardoqueo el judío fue el segundo en poder, después del rey Asuero. Mardoqueo fue un gran personaje entre sus hermanos judíos, y muy estimado por todos ellos, pues se preocupó por el bienestar de su pueblo y procuró la paz para todo su linaje.

Elogio de Mardoqueo y conclusión

10 El rey Asuero impuso un tributo tanto a los países en tierra firme como a los de las islas. Todo lo que hizo con autoridad y poder, así como el relato exacto del alto cargo que dio a Mardoqueo, está escrito en el libro donde se anotaban todos los sucesos del reino de Media y de Persia. El judío Mardoqueo ocupaba el primer lugar después del rey; fue un gran personaje entre los judíos, amado por todos sus compatriotas, porque buscó el bien de su pueblo y luchó por el bienestar de su raza.

The Greatness of Mordecai

10 King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the empire, to its distant shores.(A) And all his acts of power and might, together with a full account of the greatness of Mordecai,(B) whom the king had promoted,(C) are they not written in the book of the annals(D) of the kings of Media and Persia? Mordecai the Jew was second(E) in rank(F) to King Xerxes,(G) preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews.(H)

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

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?

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.
