Ester 10

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

And King Ahasuerus laid tribute upon the land, and upon the shores of the sea.

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?

But, all the acts of his authority, and his might, and the clear story of the promotion of Mordecai, wherewith the king promoted him, are, they, not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

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.

For, Mordecai the Jew, was next unto King Ahasuerus, and became great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, —seeking happiness for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
