Esetera 10

1 A UHAU aku la o Ahasuero i ka aina, a i na mokupuni hoi o ka moana.

And king Achashverosh imposed a tribute upon the land, and the isles of the sea.

2 A o na mea a kona mana a me kona ikaika i hana'i, a me ka hai ana i ke kiekie o Moredekai, kahi i hookiekie ai ke alii ia ia, aole anei ia i kakauia iloko o ka buke oihana a na'lii o Media a me Peresia?

And all the acts of his strength and of his might, and the exposition of the greatness of Mordecai, wherewith the king made him great, behold they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

3 No ka mea, o Moredekai, o ka Iudaio, oia ka mea pili koke i ke alii, ia Ahasuero, a kiekie no hoi ia iwaena o na Iudaio, a ua makemakeia e ka lehulehu o kona poe hoahanau; a imi ia i mea e waiwai ai kona lahuikanaka, e olelo lokomaikai ana i kona poe hanauna a pau.

For Mordecai the Jew was the second in rank after king Achashverosh, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the multitude of his brethren, a promoter of good to his people, and speaking peace to all its seed.
