以斯帖記 10

1 薛西斯王向陸地及各海島的居民徵稅。

Forsothe kyng Assuerus made tributarye ech lond, and alle the ilis of the see;

2 他所行偉大英勇的事蹟，以及顯耀摩爾德開的詳細經過，都記載在瑪待和波斯君王的年鑑上。

whos strengthe and empire and dignyte and hiynesse, by which he enhaunside Mardochee, ben writun in the bookis of Medeis and of Persis;

3 猶太人摩爾德開，位僅次於薛西斯王，受猶太人的敬重，受他全體同胞的愛戴；他也努力為他的民族謀幸福，關心他的整個種族的安全。

and how Mardochee of the kyn of Jewis was the secounde fro king Assuerus, and was greet anentis Jewis, and acceptable to the puple of hise britheren, and he souyte goodis to his puple, and spak tho thingis, that perteyneden to the pees of his seed.
