Esther 10

1 Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.

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

2 And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

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?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

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.
