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?

²In vsa dejanja njegove oblasti in moči njegove in natančno poročilo o velikosti Mardohejevi, do katere ga je kralj povzdignil, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Medije in Perzije?Zakaj Mardohej Jud je bil drugi za kraljem Ahasverom in velik med Judi in priljubljen množici bratov svojih, ker si je prizadeval za dobrine ljudstva svojega in govoril mir vsemu zarodu njegovemu.

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.

³Zakaj Mardohej Jud je bil drugi za kraljem Ahasverom in velik med Judi in priljubljen množici bratov svojih, ker si je prizadeval za dobrine ljudstva svojega in govoril mir vsemu zarodu njegovemu.
