Dialogue with Trypho 130.1
Summary: Deut 32:43 (LXX): the nations rejoice with his people.
Greek text · Archambault 2:262–264
Καὶ συντιθεμένων πάντων εἶπον· Καὶ λόγους δέ τινας, οὓς μὴ ἀπεμνημόνευσα πρότερον, εἴποιμʼ ἂν ἄρτι· εἰσὶ δὲ εἰρημένοι ὑπὸ τοῦ πιστοῦ θεράποντος Μωσέως ἐπικεκαλυμμένως. Εἴρηται δὲ οὕτως· Εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοὶ ἅμα αὐτῷ, καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ· καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς τοῦ λόγου ἐπέφερον ταῦτα· Εὐφράνθητε ἔθνη μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνισχυσάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ, ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικεῖται, καὶ ἐκδικήσει, καὶ ἀνταποδώσει δίκην τοῖς ἐχθροῖς, καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἀνταποδώσει, καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖ κύριος τὴν γῆν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
English · Claude translation
And when all agreed I said: “And I would now cite some words which I did not recall before; they were spoken by the faithful servant Moses in a veiled way. They were spoken thus: ‘Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him’”; and I added what follows in the passage: “‘Rejoice, you nations, with his people, and let all the angels of God be strong in him; for the blood of his sons is avenged, and he will avenge it, and will render judgment to his enemies, and will repay those who hate him, and the Lord will cleanse the land of his people.’

Notes
Translation notes
- The longer text of Deut 32:43 in the LXX (and in a Qumran manuscript) differs from the Hebrew; compare Heb 1:6 and Rom 15:10.
