< Esther 10 >

1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ʻAhasivelo ʻene fekau ke tukuhau ʻae fonua, pea mo e ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi.
2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced 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 next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren; seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
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.
