< Esther 10 >
1 King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.
Te te manghai Ahasuerus loh khohmuen neh tuipuei sanglak ah Ahasuerus kah saldong te a paek.
2 Aren’t all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
Mordekai kah a saithainah bitat boeih neh a thayung thamal khaw, a lennah ciim neh manghai loh a pantai sak te khaw Madai neh Persia manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a?
3 For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
Judah Mordekai he manghai Ahasuerus kah hnukthoi la om tih Judah lakli ah khaw len. A manuca boeih loh a moeithen tih a pilnam ham hnothen a toem pah. A tiingan boeih kah rhoepnah te a thui.
