¹King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and on the islands of the sea.

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

²All the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, aren’t they 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 next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his descendants.

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.
