Ɛster 10

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

And the king Ahasuerus setteth a tribute on the land and the isles 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.

and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king made him great, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles 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 [is] second to king Ahasuerus, and a great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
