< エステル 記 10 >
1 アハシユエロス王國土および海の島々に貢をたてまつらしむ
King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.
2 アハシユエロス王が權勢と能力をもて爲たる一切の事業および彼がモルデカイを高くして大いなる者とならしめたる事の委き話はメデアとぺルシヤの列王の日誌の書に記さるるにあらずや
All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king advanced him, are they not recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
3 ユダヤ人モルデカイはアハシユエロス王に次ぐ者となりユダヤ人の中にありて大なる者にしてその衆多の兄弟によろこばれたり彼はその民の福祉をもとめその一切の宗族に平和の言をのべたりき
For Mordecai the Jew was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and loved by them all. He sought the good of his people and promoted the welfare of their descendants.
