Dialogue with Trypho 26.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Isa 63:2–6.

Greek text · Archambault 1:116–118

Διὰ τί σου ἐρυθρὰ τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ τὰ ἐνδύματά σου ὡς ἀπὸ πατητοῦ ληνοῦ; πλήρης καταπεπατημένης ληνὸν ἐπάτησα μονώτατος, καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ μετʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ κατεπάτησα αὐτοὺς ἐν θυμῷ, καὶ κατέθλασα αὐτοὺς ὡς γῆν, καὶ κατήγαγον τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν. Ἡμέρα γὰρ ἀνταποδόσεως ἦλθεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐνιαυτὸς λυτρώσεως πάρεστι. Καὶ ἐπέβλεψα καὶ οὐκ ἦν βοηθός, καὶ προσενόησα καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀντελάβετο· καὶ ἐρρύσατο ὁ βραχίων, καὶ ὁ θυμός μου ἐπέστη· καὶ κατεπάτησα αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου, καὶ κατήγαγον τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν.

English · Claude translation

“‘Why are your garments red, and your clothing as from a trodden winepress? I have trodden the winepress full of trodden grapes alone, and of the nations there is no man with me; and I trod them down in my wrath, and crushed them like earth, and brought down their blood to the earth. For the day of recompense has come upon them, and the year of redemption is here. And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and no one supported; and my arm delivered, and my wrath came upon them; and I trod them down in my anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.’”
