and the God that hath caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples that shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.

And may the God who has made it a resting-place for his name send destruction on all kings and peoples whose hands are outstretched to make any change in this or to do damage to this house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have given this order, let it be done with all care.

Και ο Θεος, οστις κατωκισε το ονομα αυτου εκει, ας εξολοθρευση παντα βασιλεα και λαον, οστις εκτεινη την χειρα αυτου δια να παραλλαξη τι, ωστε να καταστρεψη τουτον τον οικον του Θεου τον εν Ιερουσαλημ. Εγω ο Δαρειος εξεδωκα την διαταγην· ας εκτελεσθη ταχεως.

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.

May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
