Dialogue with Trypho 81.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Isa 65:21–25.

Greek text · Archambault 2:38

Καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν οἰκίας καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐνοικήσουσι, καὶ καταφυτεύσουσιν ἀμπελῶνας καὶ αὐτοὶ φάγονται τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῶν. Οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομήσωσι καὶ ἄλλοι κατοικήσουσι, καὶ οὐ μὴ φυτεύσωσι καὶ ἄλλοι φάγονται· κατὰ γὰρ τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἔσονται, τὰ ἔργα τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν παλαιώσουσιν. Οἱ ἐκλεκτοί μου οὐ μὴ πονέσουσιν εἰς κενὸν οὐδὲ τεκνοποιήσουσιν εἰς κατάραν· ὅτι σπέρμα δίκαιον καὶ εὐλογημένον ὑπὸ κυρίου ἔσονται, καὶ ἔγγονα αὐτῶν μετʼ αὐτῶν. Καὶ ἔσται πρὶν ἢ κεκράξαι αὐτοὺς ἐγὼ ἐπακούσομαι αὐτῶν· ἔτι λαλούντων αὐτῶν ἐρῶ· Τί ἐστι; Τότε λύκοι καὶ ἄρνες ἅμα βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ λέων ὡς βοῦς φάγεται ἄχυρα, ὄφις δὲ γῆν ὡς ἄρτον. Οὐκ ἀδικήσουσιν οὐδὲ λυμανοῦνται ἐπὶ τῷ ὄρει τῷ ἁγίῳ, λέγει κύριος.

English · Claude translation

“‘And they shall build houses and dwell in them themselves, and plant vineyards and eat their fruits themselves. They shall not build and others dwell in them, nor plant and others eat; for according to the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people; they shall enjoy long the works of their labors. My elect shall not labor in vain, nor bear children for a curse; for they shall be a seed righteous and blessed by the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall be that before they cry I will hear them; while they are still speaking I will say, What is it? Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not hurt or destroy on the holy mountain, says the Lord.’
