Esther 7:4

He kuo fakatau ʻakimautolu, Ko au mo hoku kakai, ke maumauʻi, mo tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha. Pea ka ne fakatau ʻakimautolu ke hoko ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula, pehē, te u longo pe au, ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fili ke totongi hono kovi ki he tuʻi.”

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.
