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 declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which 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 to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
