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

And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles 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 the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
