Ester 10

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

Then King Ahasuerus imposed a tax on the land and on the coastlands along the 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.

All the achievements of his power and might, together with the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

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.

Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Ahasuerus. He was great among the Jews and popular with his many Jewish brothers, for he sought the welfare of his people and he spoke for the peace of all his people.
