Esther 10

1 And king Achashverosh imposed a tribute upon the land, and the isles of the sea.

亞哈隨魯王使旱地和海島的人民都進貢。

2 And all the acts of his strength and of his might, and the exposition of the greatness of Mordecai, wherewith the king made him great, behold they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

他以權柄能力所行的，並他抬舉末底改使他高升的事，豈不都寫在米底亞和波斯王的歷史上嗎？

3 For Mordecai the Jew was the second in rank after king Achashverosh, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the multitude of his brethren, a promoter of good to his people, and speaking peace to all its seed.

猶大人末底改作亞哈隨魯王的宰相，在猶大人中為大，得他眾弟兄的喜悅，為本族的人求好處，向他們說和平的話。
