Ester 10

1 Mokonzi Kizerisesi akataki mpako mpo na bato ya mokili na ye ya bokonzi kino na bituka oyo ezalaki pene ya ebale.

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

2 Bongo misala nyonso ya bokonzi mpe ya nguya na ye, elongo na makambo nyonso ya lokumu ya Maridoshe oyo mokonzi atombolaki, ekomamaki kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Medi mpe ya Persi.

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 Moyuda Maridoshe azalaki moto ya mibale kati na bokonzi sima na mokonzi Kizerisesi. Maridoshe azalaki moto monene mpe ya lokumu na miso ya Bayuda, bandeko na ye; pamba te azalaki koluka bolamu ya bato na ye mpe kobundela bolamu ya Bayuda nyonso.

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.
