Ɛster 10

1 Ɔhene Ahasweros hyɛɛ sɛ wɔntua toɔ wɔ nʼahemman mu, a mpo wɔn a wɔwɔ mpoano akyirikyiri no nyinaa ka ho.

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

2 Ne mmaninyɛ ne Mordekai akunini nneyɛɛ ne sɛdeɛ ɔhene pagyaa no nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Media ne Persia ahemfo abakɔsɛm mu.

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 Yudani Mordekai bɛyɛɛ ɔman panin a ne tumi di ɔhene Ahasweros ankasa deɛ akyi. Na ɔdi mu wɔ Yudafoɔ no mu. Na wɔbu no yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na ne nkurɔfoɔ yiedie yɛ nʼahiasɛm. Na ɔne ahemfie hɔfoɔ nyinaa tenaa yie.

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.
