< Esteer 10 >
1 Markaasaa Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu baad saaray dhulkii iyo gasiiradihii baddaba.
King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and the coasts.
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?
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 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 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.
