غَلاطِيَّة 4
| وَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ: مَا دَامَ ٱلْوَارِثُ قَاصِرًا لَا يَفْرِقُ شَيْئًا عَنِ ٱلْعَبْدِ، مَعَ كَوْنِهِ صَاحِبَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. | ١ 1 |
Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;
| بَلْ هُوَ تَحْتَ أَوْصِيَاءَ وَوُكَلَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمُؤَجَّلِ مِنْ أَبِيهِ. | ٢ 2 |
but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.
| هَكَذَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا: لَمَّا كُنَّا قَاصِرِينَ، كُنَّا مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ تَحْتَ أَرْكَانِ ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ٣ 3 |
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;
| وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا جَاءَ مِلْءُ ٱلزَّمَانِ، أَرْسَلَ ٱللهُ ٱبْنَهُ مَوْلُودًا مِنِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، مَوْلُودًا تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، | ٤ 4 |
but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,
| لِيَفْتَدِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، لِنَنَالَ ٱلتَّبَنِّيَ. | ٥ 5 |
that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
| ثُمَّ بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ أَبْنَاءٌ، أَرْسَلَ ٱللهُ رُوحَ ٱبْنِهِ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ صَارِخًا: «يَا أَبَا ٱلْآبُ». | ٦ 6 |
But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
| إِذًا لَسْتَ بَعْدُ عَبْدًا بَلِ ٱبْنًا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ ٱبْنًا فَوَارِثٌ لِلهِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ٧ 7 |
So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
| لَكِنْ حِينَئِذٍ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ، ٱسْتُعْبِدْتُمْ لِلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا بِٱلطَّبِيعَةِ آلِهَةً. | ٨ 8 |
But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;
| وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ إِذْ عَرَفْتُمُ ٱللهَ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ عُرِفْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَرْجِعُونَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْكَانِ ٱلضَّعِيفَةِ ٱلْفَقِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُسْتَعْبَدُوا لَهَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ؟ | ٩ 9 |
but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?
| أَتَحْفَظُونَ أَيَّامًا وَشُهُورًا وَأَوْقَاتًا وَسِنِينَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Ye observe days and months and times and years.
| أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ تَعِبْتُ فِيكُمْ عَبَثًا! | ١١ 11 |
I am afraid of you, lest indeed I have laboured in vain as to you.
| أَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، كُونُوا كَمَا أَنَا، لِأَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا كَمَا أَنْتُمْ. لَمْ تَظْلِمُونِي شَيْئًا. | ١٢ 12 |
Be as I [am], for I also [am] as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.
| وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي بِضَعْفِ ٱلْجَسَدِ بَشَّرْتُكُمْ فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. | ١٣ 13 |
But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
| وَتَجْرِبَتِي ٱلَّتِي فِي جَسَدِي لَمْ تَزْدَرُوا بِهَا وَلَا كَرِهْتُمُوهَا، بَلْ كَمَلَاكٍ مِنَ ٱللهِ قَبِلْتُمُونِي، كَٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. | ١٤ 14 |
and my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
| فَمَاذَا كَانَ إِذًا تَطْوِيبُكُمْ؟ لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَكُمْ أَنَّهُ لَوْ أَمْكَنَ لَقَلَعْتُمْ عُيُونَكُمْ وَأَعْطَيْتُمُونِي. | ١٥ 15 |
What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.
| أَفَقَدْ صِرْتُ إِذًا عَدُوًّا لَكُمْ لِأَنِّي أَصْدُقُ لَكُمْ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you?
| يَغَارُونَ لَكُمْ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا، بَلْ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَصُدُّوكُمْ لِكَيْ تَغَارُوا لَهُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them.
| حَسَنَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْغَيْرَةُ فِي ٱلْحُسْنَى كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَلَيْسَ حِينَ حُضُورِي عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَطْ. | ١٨ 18 |
But [it is] right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you —
| يَا أَوْلَادِي ٱلَّذِينَ أَتَمَخَّضُ بِكُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى أَنْ يَتَصَوَّرَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:
| وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكُونَ حَاضِرًا عِنْدَكُمُ ٱلْآنَ وَأُغَيِّرَ صَوْتِي، لِأَنِّي مُتَحَيِّرٌ فِيكُمْ! | ٢٠ 20 |
and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to you.
| قُولُوا لِي، أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا تَحْتَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ: أَلَسْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?
| فَإِنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱبْنَانِ، وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ وَٱلْآخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْحُرَّةِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.
| لَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ وُلِدَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْحُرَّةِ فَبِالْمَوْعِدِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
But he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the promise.
| وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ رَمْزٌ، لِأَنَّ هَاتَيْنِ هُمَا ٱلْعَهْدَانِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، ٱلْوَالِدُ لِلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ هَاجَرُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.
| لِأَنَّ هَاجَرَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ فِي ٱلْعَرَبِيَّةِ. وَلَكِنَّهُ يُقَابِلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْحَاضِرَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا مُسْتَعْبَدَةٌ مَعَ بَنِيهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children;
| وَأَمَّا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلْعُلْيَا، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أُمُّنَا جَمِيعًا، فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
| لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱفْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعَاقِرُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ. اِهْتِفِي وَٱصْرُخِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَتَمَخَّضْ، فَإِنَّ أَوْلَادَ ٱلْمُوحِشَةِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا زَوْجٌ». | ٢٧ 27 |
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband.
| وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَنَظِيرُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَوْلَادُ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
But ye, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.
| وَلَكِنْ كَمَا كَانَ حِينَئِذٍ ٱلَّذِي وُلِدَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ يَضْطَهِدُ ٱلَّذِي حَسَبَ ٱلرُّوحِ، هَكَذَا ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا. | ٢٩ 29 |
But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now.
| لَكِنْ مَاذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْكِتَابُ؟ «ٱطْرُدِ ٱلْجَارِيَةَ وَٱبْنَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرِثُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْجَارِيَةِ مَعَ ٱبْنِ ٱلْحُرَّةِ». | ٣٠ 30 |
But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
| إِذًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ لَسْنَا أَوْلَادَ جَارِيَةٍ بَلْ أَوْلَادُ ٱلْحُرَّةِ. | ٣١ 31 |
So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.
