| ΚΑΙ βασιλεὺς Δαρεῖος ἐποίησε δοχὴν μεγάλην πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς οἰκογενέσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς μεγιστᾶσι τῆς Μηδίας καὶ τῆς Περσίδος | Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia, |

| καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς σατράπαις καὶ στρατηγοῖς καὶ τοπάρχαις τοῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτόν, ἀπὸ τῆς ᾿Ινδικῆς μέχρις Αἰθιοπίας ἐν ταῖς ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτὰ σατραπείαις. | and to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, in the hundred twenty and seven provinces. |

| καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐπίοσαν καὶ ἐμπλησθέντες ἀνέλυσαν. ὁ δὲ Δαρεῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνέλυσεν εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ ἔξυπνος ἐγένετο. | And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bedchamber, and slept, and soon after awaked. |

|
| τότε οἱ τρεῖς νεανίσκοι οἱ σωματοφύλακες οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸ σῶμα τοῦ βασιλέως εἶπαν ἕτερος πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον· | Then three young men, that were of the guard that kept the king's body, spake one to another; |
|
5
|
5
|
| εἴπωμεν ἕκαστος ἡμῶν ἕνα λόγον, ὃς ὑπερισχύσει· καὶ οὗ ἐὰν φανῇ τὸ ρῆμα αὐτοῦ σοφώτερον τοῦ ἑτέρου, δώσει αὐτῷ Δαρεῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς δωρεὰς μεγάλας καὶ ἐπινίκια μεγάλα | Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory: |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ πορφύραν περιβαλέσθαι καὶ ἐν χρυσώμασι πίνειν καὶ ἐπὶ χρυσῷ καθεύδεν καὶ ἅρμα χρυσοχάλινον καὶ κίδαριν βυσσίνην καὶ μανιάκην περὶ τὸν τράχηλον, | as to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck: |
|
7
|
7
|
| καὶ δεύτερος καθιεῖται Δαρείου διὰ τὴν σοφίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ συγγενὴς Δαρείου κληθήσεται. | and he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius's cousin. |
|
8
|
8
|
| καὶ τότε γράψαντες ἕκαστος τὸν ἑαυτοῦ λόγον ἐσφραγίσαντο καὶ ἔθηκαν ὑπὸ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον Δαρείου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶπαν· | And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under the pillow of king Darius; |
|

|
9
|
| ὅταν ἐγερθῇ ὁ βασιλεύς, δώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὸ γράμμα, καὶ ὃν ἂν κρίνῃ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ τρεῖς μεγιστᾶνες τῆς Περσίδος ὅτι οὗ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ σοφώτερος, αὐτῷ δοθήσεται τὸ νῖκος καθὼς γέγραπται. | and said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writing; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ὁ εἷς ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος. | The first wrote, Wine is the strongest. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ὁ ἕτερος ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύει ὁ βασιλεύς. | The second wrote, The king is strongest. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὁ τρίτος ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύουσιν αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑπὲρ δὲ πάντα νικᾷ ἡ ἀλήθεια. | The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory. |
|
13
|
13
|
| καὶ ὅτε ἐξηγέρθη ὁ βασιλεύς, λαβόντες τὸ γράμμα ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνέγνω. | Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them: |
|
14
|
14
|
| καὶ ἐξαποστείλας ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας τῆς Περσίδος καὶ τῆς Μηδείας καὶ τοὺς σατράπας καὶ στρατηγοὺς καὶ τοπάρχας καὶ ὑπάτους καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῷ χρηματιστηρίῳ, καὶ ἀνεγνώσθη τὸ γράμμα ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. | and sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers; |
|
15
|
15
|
| καὶ εἶπε· καλέσατε τοὺς νεανίσκους, καὶ αὐτοὶ δηλώσουσι τοὺς λόγους ἑαυτῶν· καὶ ἐκλήθησαν καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν. | and sat him down in the royal seat of judgment; and the writing was read before them. |
|
16
|
16
|
| καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς· ἀπαγγείλατε ἡμῖν περὶ τῶν γεγραμμένων. | And he said, Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ πρῶτος ὁ εἴπας περὶ τῆς ἰσχύος τοῦ οἴνου καὶ ἔφη οὕτως· ἄνδρες, πῶς ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος; πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς πιόντας αὐτὸν πλανᾷ τὴν διάνοιαν· | And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine; |
|
18
|
18
|
| τοῦ τε βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ ὀρφανοῦ ποιεῖ τὴν διάνοιαν μίαν, τήν τε τοῦ οἰκέτου καὶ τὴν τοῦ ἐλευθέρου, τήν τε τοῦ πένητος καὶ τὴν τοῦ πλουσίου. | and he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it: |
|
19
|
19
|
| καὶ πᾶσαν διάνοιαν μεταστρέφει εἰς εὐωχίαν καὶ εὐφροσύνην καὶ οὐ μέμνηται πᾶσαν λύπην καὶ πᾶν ὀφείλημα. | it maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich: |
|
20
|
20
|
| καὶ πάσας καρδίας ποιεῖ πλουσίας καὶ οὐ μέμνηται βασιλέα οὐδὲ σατράπην καὶ πάντα διὰ ταλάντων ποιεῖ λαλεῖν. | it turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt: |
|
21
|
21
|
| καὶ οὐ μέμνηται, ὅταν πίνωσι, φιλιάζειν φίλοις καὶ ἀδελφοῖς, καὶ μετ᾿ οὐ πολὺ σπῶνται τὰς μαχαίρας· | and it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all things by talents: |
|
22
|
22
|
| καὶ ὅταν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου ἐγερθῶσιν, οὐ μέμνηνται ἃ ἔπραξαν. | and when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords: |
|
23
|
23
|
| ὦ ἄνδρες, οὐχ ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος, ὅτι οὕτως ἀναγκάζει ποιεῖν; καὶ ἐσίγησεν οὕτως εἴπας. | but when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done. |
