Dialogue with Trypho 139.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:300

Δύο οὖν λαῶν εὐλογηθέντων, τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ Σὴμ καὶ τοῦ Ἰάφεθ, καὶ πρώτων κατασχεῖν τοὺς οἴκους τοῦ Χαναὰν ἐγνωσμένων τῶν ἀπὸ Σήμ, καὶ πάλιν διαδέξασθαι παρʼ αὐτῶν τὰς αὐτὰς κτήσεις τῶν ἀπὸ Ἰάφεθ προειρημένων, καὶ τοῖς δυσὶ λαοῖς τοῦ ἑνὸς λαοῦ τοῦ ἀπὸ Χαναὰν εἰς δουλείαν παραδοθέντος, ὁ Χριστὸς κατὰ τὴν τοῦ παντοκράτορος πατρὸς δύναμιν δοθεῖσαν αὐτῷ παρεγένετο, εἰς φιλίαν καὶ εὐλογίαν καὶ μετάνοιαν καὶ συνοικίαν καλῶν, τὴν ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γῇ τῶν ἁγίων πάντων μέλλουσαν γίνεσθαι, ἧς, ὡς προαποδέδεικται, διακατάσχεσιν ἐπήγγελται.

English · Claude translation

“Two peoples, then, having been blessed, those from Shem and from Japheth, and those from Shem being known to be the first to possess the houses of Canaan, and those from Japheth having been foretold to succeed to the same possessions from them, and the one people from Canaan having been given into servitude to the two peoples, Christ came according to the power given him by the almighty Father, calling to friendship and blessing and repentance and fellowship, which is to be in the same land of all the saints, whose possession, as has been proved before, he has promised.
