Dialogue with Trypho 12.1
Summary: Isaiah foretells an everlasting covenant to which the nations will come.
Greek text · Archambault 1:54–56
Ἔλεγον δὲ ἔτι καὶ προσέφερον ὅτι καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις λόγοις Ἡσαΐας βοᾷ· Ἀκούσατέ μου τοὺς λόγους, καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν, καὶ διαθήσομαι ὑμῖν διαθήκην αἰώνιον, τὰ ὅσια Δαυῒδ τὰ πιστά. Ἰδοὺ μάρτυρα αὐτὸν ἔθνεσι δέδωκα. Ἔθνη, ἃ οὐκ οἴδασί σε, ἐπικαλέσονταί σε, λαοί, οἳ οὐκ ἐπίστανταί σε, καταφεύξονται ἐπὶ σέ, ἕνεκεν τοῦ θεοῦ σου τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐδόξασέ σε.
English · Claude translation
And I went on to add that in other words too Isaiah cries: “‘Hear my words, and your soul shall live, and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure holy things of David. Behold, I have given him as a witness to the nations. Nations that do not know you shall call on you; peoples who do not know you shall flee to you, because of your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.’
