< Esther 10 >
1 And the king levied [a tax] upon [his] kingdom both by land and sea.
Ọba Ahaswerusi sì fi owó ọba lélẹ̀ jákèjádò ilẹ̀ ọba, dé erékùṣù òkun.
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.
Gbogbo ìṣe agbára àti títóbi rẹ̀, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìròyìn títóbi Mordekai ní èyí tí ọba ti gbé e ga, kò ha wà nínú àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé ọdọọdún ọba ti Media àti ti Persia?
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.
