亚哈随鲁和末底改的功绩

10 亚哈随鲁王使内陆和沿海的人民都进贡。 他所有的丰功伟绩以及擢升末底改的事都记在玛代和波斯的史书上。 犹太人末底改的地位仅次于亚哈随鲁王,他在犹太人中受尊崇,得到同胞的爱戴,因为他致力于本族人的益处,为他们谋求福祉。

Elogio de Mardoqueo y conclusión

10 El rey Asuero impuso un tributo tanto a los países en tierra firme como a los de las islas. Todo lo que hizo con autoridad y poder, así como el relato exacto del alto cargo que dio a Mardoqueo, está escrito en el libro donde se anotaban todos los sucesos del reino de Media y de Persia. El judío Mardoqueo ocupaba el primer lugar después del rey; fue un gran personaje entre los judíos, amado por todos sus compatriotas, porque buscó el bien de su pueblo y luchó por el bienestar de su raza.

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.

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)
