Estè 10

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

King Xerxes imposed taxes throughout the empire, even to its most distant 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?

All he accomplished through his power and strength, as well as the complete account of the high position to which the king promoted Mordecai, are written down in the Book of the Records 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-in-command to King Xerxes, leader of the Jews and highly-respected in the Jewish community, he worked to help his people and improve the security of all Jews.
