1 And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2 And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

1 亚哈随鲁王使陆地和众海岛的居民都向他进贡。

2 他所行有权能的事迹， 以及末底改被尊为大的详细经过， 不是都写在玛代和波斯王的史记上吗？

3 犹大人末底改的地位仅次于亚哈随鲁王， 在犹大人中被尊为大， 得民众同胞的爱戴； 他为自己的族人求福祉， 向他们说平安的话。
