1 Tad ķēniņš Ahasvers uzlika klaušas visai zemei un jūras salām.
2 Bet visi viņa varenie un stiprie darbi ufi Mordochaja augstā goda attēlo-jums, līdz kuram viņu pacēla ķēniņš, ir ierakstīti Persijas un Mēdijas ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
3 Un tiešām, jūds Mordochajs bija otrs pēc ķēniņa Ahasvera, un viņš bija visai cienījams jūdu starpā un patīkams savu cilts brāļu vairumam, jo viņš meklēja savas tautas labumu un gādāja par labklājību visam savam dzimumam.
The Greatness of Xerxes and Mordecai
1 King Xerxes imposed forced labor on the people of the coastal regions of his empire as well as on those of the interior. 2 All the great and wonderful things he did, as well as the whole story of how he promoted Mordecai to high office, are recorded in the official records of the kings of Persia and Media. 3 Mordecai the Jew was second in rank only to King Xerxes himself. He was honored and well-liked by his fellow Jews. He worked for the good of his people and for the security of all their descendants.
