1And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.
1亞哈隨魯 王使旱地和海島的人民都進貢。
2And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:
2他以權柄能力所行的，並他抬舉 末底改 使他高升的事，豈不都寫在 米底亞 和 波斯 王的歷史上嗎？
3And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
3猶大 人 末底改 作 亞哈隨魯 王的宰相，在 猶大 人中為大，得他眾弟兄的喜悅，為本族的人求好處，向他們說和平的話。
4Then Mardochai said: God hath done these things.
