< Esther 10 >
1 And the king levied [a tax] upon [his] kingdom both by land and sea.
Te te manghai Ahasuerus loh khohmuen neh tuipuei sanglak ah Ahasuerus kah saldong te a paek.
2 And [as for] his strength and valour, and the wealth and glory of his kingdom, behold, they are written in the book of the Persians and Medes, for a memorial.
Mordekai kah a saithainah bitat boeih neh a thayung thamal khaw, a lennah ciim neh manghai loh a pantai sak te khaw Madai neh Persia manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a?
3 And Mardochaeus was viceroy to king Artaxerxes, and was a great man in the kingdom, and honoured by the Jews, and passed his life beloved of all his nation.
Judah Mordekai he manghai Ahasuerus kah hnukthoi la om tih Judah lakli ah khaw len. A manuca boeih loh a moeithen tih a pilnam ham hnothen a toem pah. A tiingan boeih kah rhoepnah te a thui.
