1 ث ُمَّ فَرَضَ المَلِكُ أحَشْوِيرُوشُ الضَرائِبَ عَلَى الشَّعبِ وَالمُدُنِ السّاحِلِيَّةِ.

And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2 أ مّا قِصَّةَ قُوَّةِ المَلِكِ أحَشْوِيرُوشَ وَعَظَمَتَهِ، وَكَيفَ رَقَّى مُرْدَخايَ، فَإنّها مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتابِ تارِيخِ مُلُوكِ مادِيَ وَفارِسَ.

Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 و َأصبَحَ مُرْدَخايُ اليَهُودِيُّ فِي المَرتَبَةِ الثّانِيَةِ بَعدَ المَلِكِ أحَشْوِيرُوشَ. وَعَظُمَ شأنُهُ عِندَ اليَهُودِ. نالَ رِضَى غالِبِيَّةِ إخْوَتِهِ اليَهُودِ، لأنَّهُ كانَ يَسْعَى إلَى خَيْرِ شَعبِهِ، وَيَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ لِجَمِيعِ اليَهُودِ.

For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
