The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.

Ο βασιλευς απεκριθη και ειπε προς τους Χαλδαιους, το πραγμα διεφυγεν απ' εμου· εαν δεν καμητε γνωστον εις εμε το ενυπνιον και την ερμηνειαν αυτου, θελετε καταμελισθη και αι οικιαι σας θελουσι γεινει κοπρωνες·

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
