And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and on the isles of the sea.

And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 Mordekai, Yudatɔ la nye amegã si kplɔ Fia Ahasuerus ɖo. Exɔ ŋkɔ le Yudatɔwo dome. Wo katã wobunɛ, elabena ewɔ nu si wòate ŋui la na Yudatɔwo ƒe nyonyo kple woƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe dedinɔnɔ.

For Mordecai the Jew was next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brothers, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
