Chap. X.
Assuerus subdueth manie countries. 4. Mardocheus vnderstandeth, and declareth
his dreame. 9. God separateth his people from other nations by a
better lotte.
1 Bvt king Assuerus made al the earth, and al the ilandes
of the sea tributaries.
2 Whose strength and empire, and
the dignitie and highnesse, wherewith he exalted Mardocheus,
are written in the bookes of the Medes, and of the
Persians:
3 and how Mardocheus of the Iewes kinred was
second after king Assuerus: and great with the Iewes, and
acceptable to the people of his bretheren, seking good to his
people, and speaking those things, which pertayned to the
good of his seede.
-- --
That [Subnote: S. Ierome here aduertiseth the reader that he found al hitherto in the Hebrew. And the parcels which folow only in the Septuaginta Greke Edition which either they translated out of the Hebrew, or added by inspiration of the Holie Ghost.] which is in the Hebrew I haue expressed most faithfully. And
these things that folow, I found written in [Subnote: The Greke of the 72. Interpreters.] the common edition,
which are conteyned in the greeke tongue and leetters: and in the
meane time this chapter was extant after the end of the booke: which
according to our custome, we haue marked with an Obelus before
it, that is to say, a broch.
4 And Mardocheus said: These things are done of God.
5 I remember the dreame that I saw, signifying these verie
things: neither was any of them frustrate.
6 The litle fountayne
which grew into a riuer, and was turned into light, and
into the sunne, and abounded into manie waters, is Esther,
whom the king tooke to wife, and made her to be queene.
7 But the two dragons: I am, and Aman.
8 The nations, that
were assembled: are they that endeuoured to destroy the name
of the Iewes.
9 And my nation: is Israel, which cried to our
Lord, and our Lord hath saued his people: and he hath deliuered
vs from al euils, and hath done great signes and wonders
among the nations:
10 and he commanded that there
should be two lottes, one of the people of God, and the other
of al Nations.
11 And both lottes are come to the day appointed
euen now from that time before God to al nations:
12 and
our Lord hath remembred his people, and hath had mercie on
his inheritance.
13 And these daies shal be obserued in the moneth
of Adar the fourtenth, and fiftenth day of the same moneth,
with al diligence, and ioy of the people gathered into
one assemblie, through out al the generations hereafter of
the people of Israel.
