< Esther 10 >

1 Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ʻAhasivelo ʻene fekau ke tukuhau ʻae fonua, pea mo e ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi.
2 And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
Pea ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻo ʻene mālohi mo ʻene mafai, mo hono fakahā ʻae lahi ʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe fakahikihiki ia ki ai ʻe he tuʻi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitia mo Peasia?
3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
He naʻe hoko ʻa Motekiai ko e Siu mo e tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea naʻe lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻae kakai Siu, pea naʻe maʻu lelei ia ʻe he fuʻu tokolahi ʻo hono kāinga, naʻe kumi ʻe ia ke koloaʻia ʻa hono kakai, pea naʻa ne lea fakamelino ki hono hako kotoa pē.
