< Esther 10 >
1 And the King Ahashuerosh layd a tribute vpon the land, and vpon the yles of the sea.
Mfalme Ahasuero alitoza ushuru katika ufalme wake wote hadi kwenye miambao yake ya mbali.
2 And all the actes of his power, and of his might, and the declaration of the dignitie of Mordecai, wherwith the King magnified him, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
Matendo yake yote ya nguvu na uwezo, pamoja na habari zote za ukuu wa Mordekai ambao mfalme alikuwa amemkuza, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Umedi na Uajemi?
3 For Mordecai the Iewe was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh, and great among the Iewes, and accepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seede.
Mordekai Myahudi alikuwa wa pili kwa cheo kutoka Mfalme Ahasuero, naye alikuwa bora kabisa miongoni mwa Wayahudi, akipandishwa katika heshima ya juu na ndugu zake Wayahudi kwa sababu aliwatendea mema watu wake, na alizungumza kwa ajili ya ustawi wa Wayahudi wote.
