Asteer 10

1 Ahashweroos Mootichi hamma qarqara galaanaatti bulchiinsa isaa guutuu irratti gibira buuse.

And King Ahasuerus laid tribute upon the land, and upon the shores of the sea.

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?

But, all the acts of his authority, and his might, and the clear story of the promotion of Mordecai, wherewith the king promoted him, are, they, not written 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 unto King Ahasuerus, and became great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, —seeking happiness for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
