< Esther 10 >
1 And the king levied [a tax] upon [his] kingdom both by land and sea.
Ary Ahasoerosy mpanjaka nampandoa hetra ny tany sy ny nosin-dranomasina.
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.
Ary izay rehetra nataony araka ny fahefany sy ny heriny mbamin’ ny filazana ny fahalehibiazan’ i Mordekay, araka izay nanandratan’ ny mpanjaka azy, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ i Media sy Persia va izany?
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.
Fa Mordekay Jiosy no nanarakaraka an’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka sady nalaza tamin’ ny Jiosy ka nankasitrahan’ ny rahalahiny maro, satria nitady hihasoa ny fireneny izy sady nilaza fiadanana tamin’ ny olona rehetra iray firazanana aminy.
