The Greatness of Xerxes and Mordecai
1 King Xerxes made everyone in his kingdom pay taxes, even those in lands across the sea. 2 All the great and famous things that King Xerxes did are written in the record books of the kings of Media and Persia. These records also tell about the honors that the king gave to Mordecai. 3 Next to the king himself, Mordecai was the highest official in the kingdom. He was a popular leader of the Jews, because he helped them in many ways and would even speak to the king on their behalf.
Mordohaja diženums
1 Ķēniņš Ahasvērs uzlika klaušas visai zemei un salām jūrā. 2 Un visi viņa varenie spēka darbi un Mordohaja dižuma varenība, ko viņam deva ķēniņš, – vai tad par to nav rakstīts Persijas un Mēdijas laiku grāmatā? 3 Jo jūds Mordohajs bija otrais pēc ķēniņa Ahasvēra, viņš bija varens starp jūdiem, un viņa brāļi to mīlēja, jo viņam rūpēja savas tautas labums un viņš nesa mieru visam savam dzimumam.
