The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;

Ο βασιλευς απεκριθη και ειπε, Επ' αληθειας καταλαμβανω οτι σεις θελετε να εξαγοραζητε τον καιρον, βλεποντες οτι διεφυγεν απ' εμου το πραγμα.

The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
