Esther 10

1 King Xerxes required that all the people in his empire pay taxes. Even the people who lived on the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] (OR, in coastal areas) were required to pay taxes.

Xerxes lengpa hin ama gamsung pumpi keo hilouva twikhanglen pang mun gamlatah a jong kai analah ahi.

2 And all the great and powerful things that Xerxes did were written in the scroll called/entitled ‘The record of the things done by the kings of Media and Persia’. In this book were also written [the things done] by Mordecai, the man whom the king had greatly honored.

Ama tohdoh thupitah tah hole, aman ana tunlet Mordecai nasatna hohi Media le Persia lengte thusimbu’a kijihlut’a ahi.

3 Mordecai, who was a Jew, became the king’s most important official, and [all] the Jews also considered him to be a very great man. They [all] respected him, because he did many good things for the Jews, and he often asked [the king] to do good things for them.

Judate mi Mordecai hi Xerxes lengpa bantah a thanei in apangin ahi. Amahi Judate te lah a mithupitah ahung hin chuleh jana sangtah anapeuvin ahi, ajehchu aman amite dingin thilpha anatong jingin chuleh khang nunungho changeija aphatna diuvin thu anaseijin ahi.
