Ɛster 10

1 Ɔhene Ahasweros hyɛɛ sɛ wontua tow wɔ nʼaheman mu, a mpo wɔn a wɔwɔ mpoano akyirikyiri no nyinaa ka ho.

And King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

2 Ne mmaninyɛ ne Mordekai akunini nneyɛe ne sɛnea ɔhene pagyaw no no nyinaa no, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Media ne Persia ahemfo abakɔsɛm mu ana?

And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 Yudani Mordekai bɛyɛɛ ɔmanpanyin a ne tumi di ɔhene Ahasweros ankasa de akyi. Na odi mu wɔ Yudafo no mu. Na wobu no yiye, efisɛ na ne nkurɔfo yiyedi yɛ nʼahiasɛm. Na ɔne ahemfi hɔfo nyinaa tenaa yiye.

For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.
