De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
post quos inde dimissa templum, quod euersum fuerat, instaurauit; et quamuis plurimis eis in
alienigenarum degerent terris, non habuit tamen deinceps duas regni partes et duos diuersos in
singulis partibus reges; sed in hierusalem princeps eorum erat unus, atque ad dei templum, quod ibi erat, omnes undique, ubicumque essent et undecumque possent, per certa tempora ueniebant.
sed nec tunc eis hostes ex aliis gentibus expugnatoresque defuerunt; nam etiam romanorum iam
tributarios eos christus inuenit. |
| Translation |
At the end of that time, they were sent forth from that place, and they restored the temple which had been overthrown. And, though many remained in foreign lands, yet the kingdom no longer had two parts, with two different kings over each. Rather, there was one prince over them, in Jerusalem; and, from every direction, wherever they were, and from whatever place they could, all men came at certain times to the temple of God which was there. Not even then, however, did they lack foreign enemies and conquerors; and, indeed, when Christ found them, they were already tributaries of the Romans. (Trans. Dyson) |
