Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:28

ἐπισταθέντων δὲ τῶν παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ λεγόντων· Πρὸς σὲ εἰσῆλθον οἱ κατάσκοποι τῆς γῆς ἡμῶν· ἐξάγαγε αὐτούς, ὁ γὰρ βασιλεὺς οὕτως κελεύει, ἥδε ἀπεκρίθη· Εἰσῆλθον μὲν οἱ ἄνδρες, οὓς ζητεῖτε, πρός με, ἀλλʼ εὐθέως ἀπῆλθον καὶ πορεύονται τῇ ὁδῷ· ὑποδεικνύουσα αὐτοῖς ἐναλλάξ.

English · Claude translation

And when the king's men came and said, “The spies of our land came in to you; bring them out, for the king commands it,” she answered, “The men you are seeking did come in to me, but they left at once and are going on their way,” pointing them in the opposite direction.
