Ehetere 10

1 I whakaritea ano e Kingi Ahahueruha he takoha ma te whenua, ma nga motu o te moana.

And the King Ahashuerosh layd a tribute vpon the land, and vpon the yles of the sea.

2 Na, ko nga meatanga katoa o tona kaha, o tona nui, me te korero katoa o te nui o Mororekai i whakanuia nei e te kingi, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Meria, o Pahia?

And all the actes of his power, and of his might, and the declaration of the dignitie of Mordecai, wherwith the King magnified him, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

3 Ko Mororekai Hurai hoki te tuarua o Kingi Ahahueruha, he nui ano ia i roto i nga Hurai, he matenuitanga na te mano tini o ona tuakana, teina; he rapu tonu tana i te pai mo tona iwi, he korero ano i te ata noho ki ona uri katoa.

For Mordecai the Iewe was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh, and great among the Iewes, and accepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seede.
