Dialogue with Trypho 28.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:126

Παρέξω δὲ ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες φίλοι, καὶ αὐτοῦ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁπότε πρὸς τὸν λαὸν εἶπε διὰ Μαλαχίου, ἑνὸς τῶν δώδεκα προφητῶν. Ἔστι δὲ ταῦτα· οὐκ ἔστι θέλημά μου ἐν ὑμῖν, λέγει κύριος, καὶ τὰς θυσίας ὑμῶν οὐ προσδέχομαι ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν· διότι ἀπὸ ἀνατολῆς ἡλίου ἕως δυσμῶν τὸ ὄνομά μου δεδόξασται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ θυσία προσφέρεται τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ θυσία καθαρά, ὅτι τιμᾶται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, λέγει κύριος, ὑμεῖς δὲ βεβηλοῦτε αὐτό.

English · Claude translation

“And I will give you, friends, the words of God himself, when he spoke to the people through Malachi, one of the twelve prophets. They are these: ‘I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord, and I do not accept your sacrifices from your hands; for from the rising of the sun to its setting my name has been glorified among the nations, and in every place sacrifice is offered to my name, and a pure sacrifice; for my name is honored among the nations, says the Lord, but you profane it.’
