Esther 10

1 And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

薛西斯王向陸地及各海島的居民徵稅。

2 And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

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。

3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

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。
