Dialogue with Trypho 34.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:148

Ἔτι δὲ καὶ πρὸς τὸ πεῖσαι ὑμᾶς ὅτι τῶν γραφῶν οὐδὲν συνήκατε, καὶ ἄλλου ψαλμοῦ τῷ Δαυῒδ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος εἰρημένου ἀναμνήσομαι, ὃν εἰς Σολομῶνα, τὸν γενόμενον καὶ αὐτὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν, εἰρῆσθαι λέγετε· εἰς δὲ τὸν Χριστὸν ἡμῶν καὶ αὐτὸς εἴρηται. Ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁμωνύμων λέξεων ἑαυτοὺς ἐξαπατᾶτε. Ὅπου γὰρ ὁ νόμος τοῦ κυρίου ἄμωμος εἴρηται, οὐχὶ τὸν μετʼ ἐκεῖνον μέλλοντα ἀλλὰ τὸν διὰ Μωσέως ἐξηγεῖσθε, τοῦ θεοῦ βοῶντος καινὸν νόμον καὶ καινὴν διαθήκην διαθήσεσθαι.

English · Claude translation

“And further, to persuade you that you have understood nothing of the Scriptures, I will recall another psalm spoken to David by the Holy Spirit, which you say was spoken of Solomon, who was also your king; but it too was spoken of our Christ. But you deceive yourselves by words of the same sound. For where it is said, ‘The law of the Lord is blameless,’ you explain it not of the law that was to come after that one, but of the one given through Moses, though God cries that he will make a new law and a new covenant.
