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.
Nampandoa’ i Akasverose mpanjaka rorotse i taney naho o tokonose an-driakeo.
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.
Le ty fitoloñan-kaozara’e naho i hafatrara’ey naho ty talily heneke amy hara’elahi’ i Mordekaiy, ty nampionjona’ i mpanjakay aze, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliam-panjaka’ i Meday naho i Parasey hao?
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.
Amy te nifaharoe’ i Akasverose mpanjakay t’i Mordekay nte-Iehoda, ie nira’elahy amo nte-Iehodao, noron-droahalahi’e maro naho mpipay hañasoa ondati’eo vaho mpitaron-kanintsiñe amo tarira’eo.
