Estera 10

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

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

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?

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 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-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.
