鲁王

亚哈随鲁王使陆地和海岛的人民都进贡。

Now King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the coastlands of the sea .

斯1：9王后瓦实提在亚哈随鲁王的宫内、也为妇女设摆筵席。

Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus .

满是醉意的亚哈随鲁王突然兴起一个疯狂的念头。

King Xerxes had a mad thought in his drunken state .

亚哈随鲁王便命人念历史给他听。

King Xerxes had old history scrolls read to him !

当日，亚哈随鲁王把犹大人仇敌哈曼的家产，赐给王后以斯帖。

That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman , the enemy of the Jews .

而我们按照史料所知，以斯帖一直作王后，直至公元前465年亚哈随鲁王遭到暗杀，突然死亡为止；

As far as we know Esther continued as Queen until the sudden death by assassination of Xerxes in BC465 .

我们选读的经文描述她不仅容貌美丽，而且品格也好，两点都吸引了亚哈随鲁王。

Our reading speaks not only about her beauty but also about her fine character , both of which appealed to King Xerxes .

在标枪手中名列第三的是大个儿，这个巨人似的，脸膛煤黑的野黑人，走起路来活象一只狮子…看来就象是亚哈随鲁王。

Third among the harpooneers was Daggoo , a gigantic , coal-black negro-savage , with a lion-like tread -- an Ahasuerus to behold .

亚哈随鲁王似乎没有经过详细考虑，便摘下手上的印章指环给哈曼，让他可以随从己意书写和签印谕旨。

It would seem that without much thought Xerxes took off his signet ring and gave it to Haman to write and sign anything he wanted to .

亚哈随鲁王欣然答允，就像第一次一样，驿卒又要马上传达取消的谕旨。

King Xerxes agreed and just as the first edict had been carried by swift couriers , now the rescinding order must go in the same way .

亚哈随鲁王发现了我们许多人发现的真理，当他怒气平息之后，便后悔自己在怒气驱使下的所为。

King Xerxes discovered what many of us have found true-after his anger had subsided , he regretted what he had done while carried away by his outburst .

末底改记录这事，写信与亚哈随鲁王各省远近所有的犹大人

And Mordecai wrote these things , and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus , both nigh and far

1这事以后，亚哈随鲁王的忿怒止息，就想念瓦实提和她所行的，并怎样降旨办她。

After these things , when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased , he remembered Vashti , and what she had done , and what was decreed against her .

亚哈随鲁王第七年十月，就是提别月，以斯帖被引入宫见王。

So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month , which is the month Tebeth , in the seventh year of his reign .

这些事以后，亚哈随鲁王使亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼尊大，抬举他，叫他位居与他在一起的众首领之上。

After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the agagite , and he advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him .

犹大人在亚哈随鲁王各省的城里聚集起来，要下手攻击那些想谋害他们的人；

The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus , to lay hand on such as sought their hurt : and no man could withstand them ;

末底改奉亚哈随鲁王的名写谕旨，用王的戒指盖印，交给骑御马圈快马的驿卒，传到各处。

Mordecai wrote in the name of King Xerxes , sealed the dispatches with the king 's signet ring , and sent them by mounted couriers , who rode fast horses especially bred for the king .

因为王后这事必传到众妇人的耳中，说，亚哈随鲁王吩咐王后瓦实提到王面前，她却不来，她们就藐视自己的丈夫。

For the queen 's conduct will become known to all the women , and so they will despise their husbands and say , 'King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him , but she would not come .

犹大人末底改作亚哈随鲁王的宰相，在犹大人中为大，得他众弟兄的喜悦，为本族的人求好处，向他们说和平的话。

For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus , and great among the Jews , and accepted of the multitude of his brethren , seeking the wealth of his people , and speaking peace to all his seed .

这事以后，亚哈随鲁王抬举，亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼，使他高升，叫他的爵位超过与他同事的一切臣宰。

After these things , by the order of the king , Haman , the son of Hammedatha the Agagite , was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him .

当那时候，末底改坐在朝门，王的太监中有两个守门的，辟探和提列，恼恨亚哈随鲁王，想要下手害他。

In those days , while Mordecai sat in the king 's gate , two of the king 's chamberlains , Bigthan and Teresh , of those which kept the door , were wroth , and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus .
