亚哈随鲁和末底改的功绩

10 亚哈随鲁王使内陆和沿海的人民都进贡。 他所有的丰功伟绩以及擢升末底改的事都记在玛代和波斯的史书上。 犹太人末底改的地位仅次于亚哈随鲁王,他在犹太人中受尊崇,得到同胞的爱戴,因为他致力于本族人的益处,为他们谋求福祉。

末底改的声誉

10 亚哈随鲁王使陆地和众海岛的居民都向他进贡。 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? 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。

The Greatness of Mordecai

10 King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the empire, to its distant shores.(A) And all his acts of power and might, together with a full account of the greatness of Mordecai,(B) whom the king had promoted,(C) are they not written in the book of the annals(D) of the kings of Media and Persia? Mordecai the Jew was second(E) in rank(F) to King Xerxes,(G) preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews.(H)

10 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
