King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.

2 Hojiin humnaa fi jabina isaa hundinuu, seenaa guddina Mordekaayi kan mootichi itti ol isa guddise guutuu wajjin kitaaba seenaa mootota Meedee fi Faares keessatti barreeffameera mitii?

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, are they not recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 Mordekaayi Yihuudichi sadarkaadhaan nama Ahashweroos Mootichatti aanu ture; inni sababii uummata isaatiif waan gaarii hojjetee fi sababii nageenya Yihuudoota hundaatiif falmeef obboloota isaa Yihuudoota hedduu biratti ulfina guddaa qaba ture.

For Mordecai the Jew was next in rank to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and loved by them all. He sought the good of his people and promoted the welfare of their descendants.
