GREEK BIBLENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και επεβαλεν ο βασιλευς Ασσουηρης φορον επι την γην και τας νησους της θαλασσης.1 King Ahasuerus laid tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
2 Πασαι δε αι πραξεις της δυναμεως αυτου και της ισχυος αυτου, και η περιγραφη μεγαλειοτητος του Μαροδοχαιου, εις ην ο βασιλευς προεβιβασεν αυτον, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων της Μηδιας και Περσιας;2 All the acts of his power and valor, as well as a detailed account of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king promoted, are recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.
3 Διοτι ο Μαροδοχαιος ο Ιουδαιος εσταθη δευτερος μετα τον βασιλεα Ασσουηρην και μεγας μεταξυ των Ιουδαιων και αγαπωμενος υπο του πληθους των αδελφων αυτου, ζητων το καλον του λαου αυτου και λαλων ειρηνην περι παντος του σπερματος αυτου.3 The Jew Mordecai was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, in high standing among the Jews, and was regarded with favor by his many brethren, as the promoter of his people's welfare and the herald of peace for his whole race.
