Ester 10

Te Kaha o Ahuahueruha rāua ko Mororekai

1 I whakaritea anō e Kīngi Ahahueruha he takoha mā te whenua, mā ngā motu o te moana. 2 Nā, ko ngā meatanga katoa o tōna kaha, o tōna nui, me te kōrero katoa o te nui o Mororekai i whakanuia nei e te kīngi, kīhai ianei i tuhituhia ki te Pukapuka o ngā meatanga o Ngā Rā o Ngā Kīngi o Meria, o Pahia? 3 Ko Mororekai Hūrai hoki te tuarua o Kīngi Ahahueruha, he nui anō ia i roto i ngā Hūrai, he matenuitanga nā te mano tini o ōna tuākana, tēina; he rapu tonu tāna i te pai mō tōna iwi, he kōrero anō i te āta noho ki ōna uri katoa.

1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. 2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account 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 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
