Χορός

ἀλλὰ δεῖ ζητεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ βλέπειν βαλληνάδε

καὶ διώκειν γῆν πρὸ γῆς, ἕως ἂν εὑρεθῇ ποτέ·
235

ὡς ἐγὼ βάλλων ἐκεῖνον οὐκ ἂν ἐμπλῄμην λίθοις.

Δικαιόπολις

εὐφημεῖτε, εὐφημεῖτε.

Χορός

σῖγα πᾶς. ἠκούσατʼ ἄνδρες ἆρα τῆς εὐφημίας;

οὗτος αὐτός ἐστιν ὃν ζητοῦμεν. ἀλλὰ δεῦρο πᾶς

ἐκποδών· θύσων γὰρ ἁνὴρ ὡς ἔοικʼ ἐξέρχεται.

CHORUS

Come, let us seek the rascal; let us look everywhere, carrying our stones in our hands; let us hunt him from place to place until we trap him; I could never, never tire of the delight of stoning him.

Peace! profane men!¹

CHORUS

Silence all! Friends, do you hear the sacred formula? Here is he, whom we seek! This way, all! Get out of his way, surely he comes to offer an oblation.

Chorus: But we must seek the man and look in his direction.

Chorus: and to pursue land after land, until ever so much is found.

Chorus: If I were throwing that man, I would not be filled with stones.

Dikaiopolis: Be silent, be silent.

Chorus: Silence, all. Did you hear, men, the silence?

Chorus: this very one is the one whom we are looking for. But come here, all of you.

Chorus: Out of the way; for the man seems to be coming out to sacrifice.
