< Esther 10 >

1 Truly, king Artaxerxes made all the land, and all the islands of the sea, tributaries.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ʻAhasivelo ʻene fekau ke tukuhau ʻae fonua, pea mo e ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi.
2 And his strength and his authority, and the dignity and supremacy with which he exalted Mordecai, have been written in the books of the Medes and the Persians,
Pea ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻo ʻene mālohi mo ʻene mafai, mo hono fakahā ʻae lahi ʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe fakahikihiki ia ki ai ʻe he tuʻi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitia mo Peasia?
3 and how Mordecai of Jewish birth, was second after king Artaxerxes, and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking about things which pertained to peace for their descendants.
He naʻe hoko ʻa Motekiai ko e Siu mo e tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea naʻe lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻae kakai Siu, pea naʻe maʻu lelei ia ʻe he fuʻu tokolahi ʻo hono kāinga, naʻe kumi ʻe ia ke koloaʻia ʻa hono kakai, pea naʻa ne lea fakamelino ki hono hako kotoa pē.
