Estera 10

1 Ary Ahasoerosy mpanjaka nampandoa hetra ny tany sy ny nosin-dranomasina.

And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2 Ary izay rehetra nataony araka ny fahefany sy ny heriny mbamin’ ny filazana ny fahalehibiazan’ i Mordekay, araka izay nanandratan’ ny mpanjaka azy, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ i Media sy Persia va izany?

And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 Fa Mordekay Jiosy no nanarakaraka an’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka sady nalaza tamin’ ny Jiosy ka nankasitrahan’ ny rahalahiny maro, satria nitady hihasoa ny fireneny izy sady nilaza fiadanana tamin’ ny olona rehetra iray firazanana aminy.

For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.
