Esther 10

1 Ọba Ahaswerusi sì fi owó ọba lélẹ̀ jákèjádò ilẹ̀ ọba, dé erékùṣù òkun.

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

2 Gbogbo ìṣe agbára àti títóbi rẹ̀, papọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìròyìn títóbi Mordekai ní èyí tí ọba ti gbé e ga, kò ha wà nínú àkọsílẹ̀ ìwé ọdọọdún ọba ti Media àti ti Persia?

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 Mordekai ará Júù ni ó jẹ́ igbákejì ọba Ahaswerusi, ó tóbi láàrín àwọn Júù, ó sì jẹ́ ẹni iyì lọ́dọ̀ àwọn Júù ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ fún ìre àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ fún àlàáfíà gbogbo àwọn Júù.

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.
