亞哈隨魯和末底改的功績

10 亞哈隨魯王向國中和海島的人徵稅。 他以權柄能力所做的一切,以及他使末底改尊大、提升他的事,豈不都寫在瑪代波斯王的史籍上嗎? 猶太末底改亞哈隨魯王的宰相,在猶太人中為大,得許多弟兄的喜悅,為本族的人爭取福利,為他所有的後代謀求幸福。

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.

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)
