Estè 10

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

Truly, king Artaxerxes made all the land, and all the islands of the sea, tributaries.

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 his strength and his authority, and the dignity and supremacy with which he exalted Mordecai, have been written in the books of the Medes and the Persians,

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 how Mordecai of Jewish birth, was second after king Artaxerxes, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking about things which pertained to peace for their descendants.
