Dialogue with Trypho 133.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Isa 5:22–25.

Greek text · Archambault 2:276–278

Οὐαὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες ὑμῶν, οἱ τὸν οἶνον πίνοντες, καὶ οἱ δυνάσται, καὶ οἱ κιρνῶντες τὸ σίκερα, οἱ δικαιοῦντες τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἕνεκεν δώρων, καὶ τὸ δίκαιον τοῦ δικαίου αἴροντες. Διὰ τοῦτο, ὃν τρόπον καυθήσεται καλάμη ὑπὸ ἄνθρακος πυρὸς καὶ συγκαυθήσεται ὑπὸ φλογὸς καιομένης, ἡ ῥίζα ὡς χνοῦς ἔσται καὶ τὸ ἄνθος αὐτῶν ὡς κονιορτὸς ἀναβήσεται· οὐ γὰρ ἠθέλησαν τὸν νόμον κυρίου σαβαώθ, ἀλλὰ τὸ λόγιον κυρίου τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰσραὴλ παρώξυναν. Καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ κύριος σαβαώθ, καὶ ἐπέβαλε τὰς χεῖρας ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς καὶ παρωξύνθη ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἐγενήθη τὰ θνησιμαῖα αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ ὡς κοπρία ὁδοῦ· καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφησαν, ἀλλʼ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ αὐτῶν ὑψηλή.

English · Claude translation

“‘Woe to your mighty ones who drink wine, and the powerful, and those who mix strong drink, who justify the ungodly for bribes, and take away the right of the righteous. Therefore, as stubble shall be burned by a coal of fire and consumed by a burning flame, their root shall be like chaff and their flower shall go up like dust; for they did not want the law of the Lord of hosts, but provoked the word of the Holy One of Israel. And the Lord of hosts was angry with wrath, and laid his hands on them and struck them, and was provoked against the mountains, and their carcasses became like dung in the midst of the road; and in all this they did not turn back, but their hand is still raised.’
