Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

Happy is the land whose ruler is of noble birth, and whose chiefs take food at the right time, for strength and not for feasting.

Μακαρια συ, γη, της οποιας ο βασιλευς ειναι υιος ευγενων, και οι αρχοντες σου τρωγουσιν εν καιρω προς ενισχυσιν και ουχι προς μεθην

Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
