Ehetere 10

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

King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands 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?

Aren’t all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, written in the book 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 Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great amongst the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his descendants.
