Dikaiosyne (Restorative Justice)
EN — Transliteration: Dikaiosýnē
Usually translated as 'Righteousness' or 'Justice'. It denotes relational restoration, covenant faithfulness, and setting things right, not punitive, retributive legal justice.
Dikaiosyne (δικαιοσύνη) has been moralized and legalized. In the Bible, it is God's power to restore relationships, not a scale of punishments.
🔬 Restorative Justice vs Retributive Justice
Covenant Faithfulness: In the Hebrew mind (*Tzedakah*), justice is the act of restoring the oppressed and repairing relationships. It is active benevolence, not a neutral court trial.
The Vulgate Legalization: The Latin translation *iustitia* introduced Roman law concepts: a retributive justice based on giving each their due punishment. This distorted God's righteousness into an threat.
Perspective Conceptuelle
Symbolic Visualization: Streams of water balancing two scales, symbolizing restorative and relational justice.
