Ester 10

Bible in Basic English

1And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

3For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y EL rey Assuero impuso tributo sobre la tierra y las islas de la mar.

2Y 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?

3Porque 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.
