¹末底改的声誉

¹And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

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？

²And 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?

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。

³For 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.
