Ester 10

Lexham English Bible

1King Ahasuerus imposed forced labor on the land and islands of the sea.

2All the work of his authority and his ⌞powerful deeds⌟, and the full accounting of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written on the scroll of the ⌞chronicles⌟ of the kings of Media and Persia?

3For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Ahasuerus. He was great for the Jews and popular with many of his brothers, for he sought good for his people, ⌞interceding for the welfare of all his descendants⌟.

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.

King James Version
