Esther 10

1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

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

2 And 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?

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 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.

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.
