Esther 10

1 Truly, king Artaxerxes made all the land, and all the islands of the sea, tributaries.

薛西斯王向陸地及各海島的居民徵稅。

2 And his strength and his authority, and the dignity and supremacy with which he exalted Mordecai, have been written in the books of the Medes and the Persians,

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 and how Mordecai of Jewish birth, was second after king Artaxerxes, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking about things which pertained to peace for their descendants.

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。
