Ester 10

1 Derefter lagde Kong Ahasverus Skat paa Landet og Øerne i Havet.

And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.

2 Men al hans Magt og hans Vældes Gerninger og Beretninger om Mardokajs Magt, som Kongen havde hævet ham til, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Kongerne af Mediens og Persiens Krøniker?

And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:

3 Thi Jøden Mardokaj var den anden efter Kong Ahasverus og mægtig hos Jøderne og behagelig for sine Brødres Mangfoldighed, da han søgte sit Folks Vel og talte til Bedste for al sin Slægt.

And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
