末底改的聲譽

10 亞哈隨魯王使陸地和眾海島的居民都向他進貢。 他所行有權能的事蹟,以及末底改被尊為大的詳細經過,不是都寫在瑪代和波斯王的史記上嗎? 猶大人末底改的地位僅次於亞哈隨魯王,在猶大人中被尊為大,得民眾同胞的愛戴;他為自己的族人求福祉,向他們說平安的話。

Mordecai’s Advancement

10 And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on (A)the islands of the sea. Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, (B)to which the king [a]advanced him, are they not written in the book of the (C)chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was (D)second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, (E)seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his [b]countrymen.
