Estè 10

1 Alò Wa Assuérus te enpoze yon taks sou peyi a avèk peyi kot lanmè yo.

Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.

2 Epi tout sa li te acheve, otorite li avèk fòs li, ak listwa konplè ak wotè Mardochée te acheve nan sila wa a te fè l rive a, èske sila yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa Mèdes Avèk Perse yo?

And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

3 Paske Mardochée, Jwif la, te sèl dezyèm a Wa Assuérus la, byen gran pami Jwif yo, e byen renmen pa gwo fanmi li, tankou yon moun ki te chache sa ki bon pou pèp li, e yon moun ki te pale lapè a tout desandan li yo.

For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
