Dialogue with Trypho 25.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:114

Καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ οὐ μνησθεὶς ἀντιλαβέσθαι σου, ὅτι ἀπέστρεψας τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀφʼ ἡμῶν καὶ παρέδωκας ἡμᾶς διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν. Καὶ νῦν ἐπίστρεψον, κύριε, ὅτι λαός σου πάντες ἡμεῖς. Ἡ πόλις τοῦ ἁγίου σου ἐγενήθη ἔρημος, Σιὼν ὡς ἔρημος ἐγενήθη, Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς κατάραν· ὁ οἶκος, τὸ ἅγιον ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡ δόξα, ἣν εὐλόγησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἐγενήθη πυρίκαυστος, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἔνδοξα συνέπεσε. Καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἀνέσχου, κύριε, καὶ ἐσιώπησας, καὶ ἐταπείνωσας ἡμᾶς σφόδρα.

English · Claude translation

“‘And there is none who calls on your name, or who remembers to take hold of you; for you have turned your face away from us, and handed us over because of our sins. And now return, Lord, for we are all your people. The city of your holy one has become a desert; Zion has become as a desert, Jerusalem a curse; the house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burned with fire, and all the glorious nations have fallen together. And at these things you have held back, Lord, and been silent, and humbled us greatly.’”
