2 But, all the acts of his authority, and his might, and the clear story of the promotion of Mordecai, wherewith the king promoted him, are, they, not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
Sa force, et son empire, et la dignité et la grandeur à laquelle il éleva Mardochée, sont écrits dans les livres des Mèdes et des Perses;
3 For, Mordecai the Jew, was next unto King Ahasuerus, and became great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, —seeking happiness for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
Et comme Mardochée, de la race judaïque, devint le second après le roi Assuérus, grand parmi les Juifs, et agréable à la foule de ses frères, cherchant le bien pour son peuple, et ne disant que ce qui intéressait la paix de sa race.
