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

¹Potom uložil kráľ Ahasver daň na zem a na ostrovy mora.

²And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

²A všetky činy jeho moci a jeho hrdinská sila i zpráva o veľkosti Mardocheovej, na jakú ho zveličil kráľ, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov médskych a perzských?

³For Mordecai the Jew was second to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the welfare of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

³Lebo Žid Mardocheus bol druhý po kráľovi Ahasverovi a veľký u Židov a vzácny celému množstvu svojich bratov, hľadajúci dobré svojho ľudu a hovoril to, čo donášalo pokoj všetkému jeho semenu.
