Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και επέβαλεν ο βασιλεύς Ασσουήρης φόρον επί την γην και τας νήσους της θαλάσσης.
1 King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
2 Πάσαι δε αι πράξεις της δυνάμεως αυτού και της ισχύος αυτού, και η περιγραφή μεγαλειότητος του Μαροδοχαίου, εις ην ο βασιλεύς προεβίβασεν αυτόν, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων της Μηδίας και Περσίας;
2 Aren’t all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
3 Διότι ο Μαροδοχαίος ο Ιουδαίος εστάθη δεύτερος μετά τον βασιλέα Ασσουήρην και μέγας μεταξύ των Ιουδαίων και αγαπώμενος υπό του πλήθους των αδελφών αυτού, ζητών το καλόν του λαού αυτού και λαλών ειρήνην περί παντός του σπέρματος αυτού.
3 For 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.
