Dialogue with Trypho 22.10 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:102

Εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην, συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ, καὶ μετὰ μοιχοῦ τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις. Τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασε κακίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκε δολιότητας. Καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον. Ταῦτα ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐσίγησα· ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος. Ἐλέγξω σε καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου. Σύνετε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι τοῦ θεοῦ, μήποτε ἁρπάσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ᾖ ὁ ῥυόμενος. Θυσία αἰνέσεως δοξάσει με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ὁδός, ἣν δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.

English · Claude translation

“‘If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you cast your lot with an adulterer. Your mouth multiplied evil, and your tongue wove deceit. You sat and spoke against your brother, and put a stumbling block before your mother's son. These things you did, and I kept silence; you thought, in your lawlessness, that I would be like you. I will rebuke you and set your sins before your face. Understand this, you who forget God, lest he seize you and there be none to deliver. A sacrifice of praise will glorify me, and there is the way by which I will show him my salvation.’
