10:4a “Your father put a heavy yoke on us.

“Your father placed heavy burdens on us.
-or-
“Your father, ⌊King Solomon,⌋ made us work very hard.

10:4b But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us,

Now, give us less work and lighten the heavy burden that he put on us.
-or-
Now we want you to make our work easier. Don’t give us as much work as he did.

10:4c and we will serve you.”

Then we will serve you.”
-or-
⌊If you do that⌋ we will be your servants.”
