Dialogue with Trypho 15.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Isa 58:7–9.

Greek text · Archambault 1:70–72

Διάθρυπτε πεινῶντι τὸν ἄρτον σου καὶ πτωχοὺς ἀστέγους εἰσάγαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου· ἐὰν ἴδῃς γυμνόν, περίβαλλε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν οἰκείων τοῦ σπέρματός σου οὐχ ὑπερόψει. Τότε ῥαγήσεται πρώϊμον τὸ φῶς σου, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτιά σου ταχὺ ἀνατελεῖ, καὶ προπορεύσεται ἔμπροσθέν σου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου, καὶ ἡ δόξα τοῦ θεοῦ περιστελεῖ σε. Τότε βοήσῃ, καὶ ὁ θεὸς εἰσακούσεταί σου· ἔτι λαλοῦντός σου ἐρεῖ· Ἰδοὺ πάρειμι.

English · Claude translation

“‘Break your bread to the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; if you see someone naked, clothe him, and do not overlook those of your own family. Then your light shall break forth early, and your garments shall quickly spring up, and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall surround you. Then you shall cry, and God shall hear you; while you are still speaking he will say, Here I am.
