Est 10:1Rēx vērō Assuērus omnem terram et cūnctās maris īnsulās fēcit tribūtāriās: cujus fortitūdō et imperium, et dignitās atque sublīmitās, quā exaltāvit Mardochaeum, scrīpta sunt in librīs Mēdōrum, atque Persārum: et quōmodo Mardochaeus jūdaicī generis secundus ā rēge Assuērō fuerit, et magnus apud Jūdaeōs, et acceptābilis plēbī frātrum suōrum, quaerēns bona populō suō, et loquēns ea quae ad pācem sēminis suī pertinērent.But King Ahasuerus made every land and all the islands of the sea tributary: whose strength and rule, and dignity and loftiness, by which he exalted Mordecai, are written in the books of the Medes and of the Persians: and how Mordecai, of the Jewish race, was second to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the multitude of his brethren, seeking good things for his people, and speaking those things which pertained to the peace of his seed. Est 10:4Dīxitque Mardochaeus: Ā Deō facta sunt ista.And Mordecai said: "These things have been done by God. Est 10:5Recordātus sum somniī quod vīderam, haec eadem significantis: nec eōrum quidquam irritum fuit.I remembered the dream which I had seen, signifying these same things: nor has any of them been void.
Est 10:6Parvus fōns, quī crēvit in fluvium, et in lūcem sōlemque conversus est, et in aquās plūrimās redundāvit: Esther est quam rēx accēpit uxōrem, et voluit esse rēgīnam.The little spring, which grew into a river, and was turned into light and sun, and overflowed into very many waters: it is Esther, whom the king took as wife, and wished to be queen. Est 10:7Duo autem dracōnēs: ego sum, et Aman.But the two dragons: they are I, and Haman. Est 10:8Gentēs, quae convēnerant: hī sunt, quī cōnātī sunt dēlēre nōmen Jūdaeōrum.The nations which had come together: these are those who tried to blot out the name of the Jews. Est 10:9Gēns autem mea Isrāël est, quae clāmāvit ad Dominum, et salvum fēcit Dominus populum suum: līberāvitque nōs ab omnibus malīs, et fēcit signa magna atque portenta inter gentēs: et duās sortēs esse praecēpit, ūnam populī Deī, et alteram cūnctārum gentium.But my nation is Israel, which cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he freed us from all evils, and did great signs and wonders among the nations: and he commanded that there be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations.
Est 10:11Vēnitque utraque sors in statūtum ex illō jam tempore diem cōram Deō ūniversīs gentibus: et recordātus est Dominus populī suī, ac misertus est haerēditātis suae.And each lot came to the day appointed from that time now, before God, for all the nations: and the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance. Est 10:13Et observābuntur diēs istī in mēnse Adar Quārtādecimā et quīntādecimā diē ejusdem mēnsis, cum omnī studiō et gaudiō, in ūnum coetum populī congregātī, in cūnctās deinceps generātiōnēs populī Isrāël.And these days will be observed in the month Adar, on the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same month, with all zeal and joy, the people being gathered into one assembly, for all the generations of the people of Israel hereafter."
