Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.
Τοτε ειπον προς αλληλους, Ημεις δεν καμνομεν καλα· η ημερα αυτη ειναι ημερα αγαθων αγγελιων, και αν ημεις σιωπωμεν και περιμενωμεν μεχρι του φωτος της αυγης, συμφορα τις θελει επελθει εφ' ημας· ελθετε λοιπον, και ας υπαγωμεν να αναγγειλωμεν ταυτα εις τον οικον του βασιλεως.
Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.
