Estè 10

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

And the king levied [a tax] upon [his] kingdom both by land and sea.

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 [as for] his strength and valour, and the wealth and glory of his kingdom, behold, they are written in the book of the Persians and Medes, for a memorial.

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.

And Mardochaeus was viceroy to king Artaxerxes, and was a great man in the kingdom, and honoured by the Jews, and passed his life beloved of all his nation.
