1And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
亚哈随鲁王使旱地和海岛的人民都进贡。
2And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, how the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
他以权柄能力所行的,并他抬举末底改使他高升的事,岂不都写在米底亚和波斯王的历史上吗?
3For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren; seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his seed.
