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.

Eze bụ Ahasuerọs na-anakọta ụtụ site nʼaka ndị niile bi nʼalaeze ya tutu ruo nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri ebe alaeze ahụ sọtụrụ.

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.

Ma ọrụ ukwu na ọrụ niile ọ rụrụ, ya na ihe niile gbasara ịdị ukwuu nke Mọdekai, na ugwu niile eze nyere ya, ha niile ka e dere nʼime akwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Midia na Peshịa mere nʼoge ọchịchị ha.

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.

Mọdekai, onye Juu, bụ onye na-esote eze Ahasuerọs nʼọkwa. Ọ bụ onye dị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị Juu, na onye ndị Juu ibe ya na-asọpụkwara, nʼihi na ọ na-elenye anya nʼihe gbasara udo ndị Juu. Ọ bụkwa onye na-ekwuchite ọnụ nʼihe banyere ọdịmma nke ndị Juu niile.
