Eseta 10

1 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ʻAhasivelo ʻene fekau ke tukuhau ʻae fonua, pea mo e ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi.

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

2 Pea ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻo ʻene mālohi mo ʻene mafai, mo hono fakahā ʻae lahi ʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe fakahikihiki ia ki ai ʻe he tuʻi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitia mo Peasia?

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 He naʻe hoko ʻa Motekiai ko e Siu mo e tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea naʻe lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻae kakai Siu, pea naʻe maʻu lelei ia ʻe he fuʻu tokolahi ʻo hono kāinga, naʻe kumi ʻe ia ke koloaʻia ʻa hono kakai, pea naʻa ne lea fakamelino ki hono hako kotoa pē.

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.
