Dialogue with Trypho 61.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:288

Ὁ θεὸς ἐποίησε χώραν καὶ ἀοίκητον καὶ ἄκρα οἰκούμενα ὑπʼ οὐρανόν. Ἡνίκα ἡτοίμαζε τὸν οὐρανόν, συμπαρήμην αὐτῷ· καὶ ὅτε ἀφώριζε τὸν αὐτοῦ θρόνον ἐπʼ ἀνέμων, ἡνίκα ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ ἄνω νέφη καὶ ὡς ἀσφαλεῖς ἐποίει πηγὰς ἀβύσσου, ἡνίκα ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς, ἤμην παρʼ αὐτῷ ἁρμόζουσα. Ἐγὼ ἤμην ᾗ προσέχαιρε· καθʼ ἡμέραν δὲ εὐφραινόμην ἐν προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ὅτι εὐφραίνετο τὴν οἰκουμένην συντελέσας, καὶ εὐφραίνετο ἐν υἱοῖς ἀνθρώπων.

English · Claude translation

“‘God made the land both uninhabited and the inhabited heights under heaven. When he prepared the heaven, I was with him; and when he set apart his throne upon the winds, when he made the clouds above strong, and when he made the springs of the deep secure, when he made the foundations of the earth strong, I was beside him, setting things in order. I was the one in whom he rejoiced; and daily I was glad in his presence at all times, because he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced in the sons of men.
