< Esteer 10 >
1 Markaasaa Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu baad saaray dhulkii iyo gasiiradihii baddaba.
Now King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
2 Oo falimihii uu xooggiisii iyo itaalkiisii ku sameeyey oo dhan, iyo warkii Mordekay weynaantiisii uu boqorku isaga u sara mariyey sow kuma wada qornayn buuggii taariikhda oo boqorradii Maaday iyo Faaris?
And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
3 Haddaba Yuhuudigii Mordekay ahaa wuxuu ahaa ninkii ku xigay Boqor Ahashwerus, oo xagga Yuhuuddana wuxuu ahaa nin weyn, oo walaalihiisa badanuna way aqbaleen; oo wuxuuna ahaa nin doondoonaa wanaagga dadkiisa oo nabaadiino kula hadla farcankiisa oo dhan.
For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.
