3-63:1

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων· Ἰσχυρῶς καὶ διὰ πολλῶν δείκνυταί σοι τοῦτο, φίλε, ἔφη. Λοιπὸν οὖν καὶ ὅτι οὗτος διὰ τῆς παρθένου ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι κατὰ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ βούλησιν ὑπέμεινεν ἀπόδειξον καὶ σταυρωθῆναι καὶ ἀποθανεῖν· δήλου δὲ καὶ ὅτι μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστὰς ἀνελήλυθεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

And Trypho said: "This has been shown to you strongly and through many proofs, friend. It remains, then, that you also demonstrate that this One submitted, according to the will of His Father, to be born a man through the virgin, and to be crucified and to die; and show too that after these things He rose again and ascended into heaven."

特來弗說：「朋友，這事已經有力地、藉著許多證據向你證明了。那麼還剩下的，就是請你也證明：這一位照祂父的旨意，甘願藉童女生為人，並被釘十字架而死；也請你表明：在這些事以後，祂復活並升入天上。」

3-63:2

Κἀγὼ ἀπεκρινάμην· Ἤδη καὶ τοῦτο ἀποδέδεικταί μοι, ὦ ἄνδρες, ἐν τοῖς προανιστορημένοις λόγοις τῶν προφητειῶν, οὓς δι ὑμᾶς πάλιν ἀναμιμνησκόμενος καὶ ἐξηγούμενος πειρά σομαι καὶ εἰς τὴν περὶ τούτου συγκατάθεσιν ἀγαγεῖν ὑμᾶς.Ὁ γοῦν λόγος ὃν ἔφη Ἡσαΐας· Τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται; Ὅτι αἴρεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ· οὐ δοκεῖ σοι λελέχθαι ὡς οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἔχοντος τὸ γένος τοῦ διὰ τὰς ἀνομίας τοῦ λαοῦ εἰς θάνατον παραδεδόσθαι εἰρημένου ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ; Περὶ οὗ καὶ Μωσῆς τοῦ αἵματος, ὡς προέφην, αἵματι σταφυλῆς, ἐν παραβολῇ εἰπών, τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ πλυνεῖν ἔφη, ὡς τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρωπείου σπέρματος γεγεννημένου ἀλλ ἐκ θελήματος θεοῦ

And I answered: "This too has already been demonstrated by me, O men, in the words of the prophecies previously related, which—for your sakes—I will again recall and expound, and will try to bring you to agreement concerning this. The very word which Isaiah spoke—'Who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth'—does it not seem to you to have been said about One who does not have His race from men, of whom it was said by God that He was delivered to death for the iniquities of the people? Concerning whom Moses also, as I said before, speaking in a parable of the blood as the blood of the grape, said that He would wash His robe—as of One whose blood was begotten not from human seed but from the will of God."

我回答說：「列位，這事我也已在前面所述的預言中向你們證明過了；為著你們的緣故，我要再次提起並解釋這些話，並要設法引你們在這事上達成一致。以賽亞所說的這句話——『誰能述說祂的世代呢？因為祂的生命從地上被奪去了』——你們豈不覺得這是論到一位不從人類有其族類的，就是神所說為百姓的罪孽而被交於死地的那位嗎？論到祂，摩西也如我先前所說的，用比喻論及那如葡萄汁般的血，說祂要洗淨自己的衣袍——好像祂的血不是從人的種而生，乃是出於神的旨意。」

3-63:3

Καὶ τὰ ὑπὸ Δαυῒδ εἰρημένα· Ἐν ταῖς λαμπρότησι τῶν ἁγίων σου, ἐκ γαστρὸς πρὸ ἑωσφόρου ἐγέννησά σε. Ὤμοσε κύριος καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται· Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ· οὐ σημαίνει ὑμῖν ὅτι ἄνωθεν καὶ διὰ γαστρὸς ἀνθρωπείας ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τῶν ὅλων γεννᾶσθαι αὐτὸν ἔμελλε

"And the words spoken by David: 'In the splendors of Your holy ones, from the womb before the morning star I have begotten You. The Lord swore and will not repent: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek'—does this not signify to you that God, the Father of all, was about to beget Him from above and through a human womb?"

「還有大衛所說的話：『在你聖者的光輝中，在晨星出現以先，從腹中我生了你。耶和華起了誓，必不後悔：你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司』——這豈不向你們表明：神，就是萬有之父，將要從上頭、並藉人的腹胎生出祂來嗎？」

3-63:4

Καὶ ἐν ἑτέροις εἰπών, τοῖς καὶ αὐτοῖς προλελεγμένοις·Ὁ θρόνος σου, ὁ θεός, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος· ῥάβδος εὐθύτητος ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου. Ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν· διὰ τοῦτο ἔχρισέ σε, ὁ θεός, ὁ θεός σου ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου. Σμύρναν καὶ στακτὴν καὶ κασσίαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἱματίων σου, ἀπὸ βάρεων ἐλεφαντίνων, ἐξ ὧν εὔφρανάν σε. Θυγατέρες βασιλέων ἐν τῇ τιμῇ σου· παρέστη ἡ βασίλισσα ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, ἐν ἱματισμῷ διαχρύσῳ περιβεβλημένη, πεποικιλμένη. Ἄκουσον, θύγατερ, καὶ ἴδε καὶ κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ ἐπιλάθου τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου· καὶ ἐπιθυμήσει ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ κάλλους σου, ὅτι αὐτός ἐστι κύριός σου, καὶ προσκυνήσεις αὐτῷ

"And in other passages, these also having been previously quoted, he said: 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions. Myrrh and stacte and cassia from Your garments, from the ivory palaces, out of which they have made You glad. Daughters of kings are in Your honor; the queen stood at Your right hand, clothed in garments of gold interwoven, embroidered. Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father's house; and the King will desire your beauty, for He is your Lord, and you shall worship Him.'"

「在其他處，這些話也是先前引過的，他說：『神啊，你的寶座是永永遠遠的；你國的權杖是正直的權杖。你喜愛公義，恨惡不法；所以神，就是你的神，用喜樂的油膏你，勝過膏你的同伴。你的衣服都有沒藥、沉香、肉桂的香氣，是從象牙宮中發出，使你歡喜。在你尊貴的婦女中有君王的女兒；王后佩戴俄斐金飾，站在你右邊，身穿織金的衣服，繡花的衣裳。女子啊，你要聽，要看，要側耳而聽，要忘記你的本族和你父家；王就羨慕你的美貌，因為祂是你的主，你當敬拜祂。』」

3-63:5

Ὅτι γοῦν καὶ προσκυνητός ἐστι καὶ θεὸς καὶ Χριστὸς ὑπὸ τοῦ ταῦτα ποιήσαντος μαρτυρούμενος, καὶ οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι διαρρήδην σημαίνουσι. Καὶ ὅτι τοῖς εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύουσιν, ὡς οὖσι μιᾷ ψυχῇ καὶ μιᾷ συναγωγῇ καὶ μιᾷ ἐκκλησίᾳ, ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ λέγει ὡς θυγατρί, τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τῇ ἐξ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ γενομένῃ καὶ μετασχούσῃ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ (Χριστιανοὶ γὰρ πάντες καλούμεθα), ὁμοίως φανερῶς οἱ λόγοι κηρύσσουσι, διδάσκοντες ἡμᾶς καὶ τῶν παλαιῶν πατρῴων ἐθῶν ἐπιλαθέσθαι, οὕτως ἔχοντες· Ἄκουσον, θύγατερ, καὶ ἴδε καὶ κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ ἐπιλάθου τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου· καὶ ἐπιθυμήσει ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ κάλλους σου, ὅτι αὐτός ἐστι κύριός σου, καὶ προσκυνήσεις αὐτῷ

"That He is indeed worthy of worship, and is God, and is Christ, being attested by the One who made these things—these words too plainly signify. And that to those who believe in Him, as being one soul and one synagogue and one church, the Word of God speaks as to a daughter—to the church which has come into being from His name and partakes of His name (for we are all called Christians)—the words likewise plainly proclaim, teaching us also to forget the ancient ancestral customs, reading thus: 'Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father's house; and the King will desire your beauty, for He is your Lord, and you shall worship Him.'"

「祂確實配受敬拜、是神、是基督，這由那位成就這些事的神所見證——這些話也清楚地表明了。並且神的道對那些信祂的人——他們如同一個心靈、一個會堂、一個教會——如同對一個女兒說話，就是對那從祂的名而生、並分享祂名的教會說話（因為我們都稱為基督徒），這些話照樣清楚地宣告，教導我們忘記古時祖宗的習俗，內容如下：『女子啊，你要聽，要看，要側耳而聽，要忘記你的本族和你父家；王就羨慕你的美貌，因為祂是你的主，你當敬拜祂。』」
