Galatians 4
1 But I say the heir, for as long a time as he is a child, differs nothing from a bondman though he is lord of all.
λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομος νηπιος εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριος παντων ων
2 Instead he is under stewards and managers until the time appointed from the father.
αλλα υπο επιτροπους εστιν και οικονομους αχρι της προθεσμιας του πατρος
3 And so when we were children, we were in bondage under the rudiments of the world.
ουτως και ημεις οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,
οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικος γενομενον υπο νομον
5 so that he might redeem those under law, so that we might receive the sonship.
ινα τους υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εις τας καρδιας υμων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
7 So that thou are no longer a bondman but a son, and if a son, then an heir through Christ.
ωστε ουκετι ει δουλος αλλ υιος ει δε υιος και κληρονομος θεου δια χριστου
8 But of course not knowing God then, ye were in bondage to those in nature who are not gods,
αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτες θεον εδουλευσατε τοις μη φυσει ουσιν θεοις
9 but now knowing God, but rather being known by God, how is it ye turn again to the weak and destitute elements to which ye desire again to be in bondage anew?
νυν δε γνοντες θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντες υπο θεου πως επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οις παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
ημερας παρατηρεισθε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους
11 I am afraid of you, lest somehow I have labored toward you in vain.
φοβουμαι υμας μηπως εικη κεκοπιακα εις υμας
12 I beseech you, brothers, become like me, because I also am like ye. Ye wronged me in nothing.
γινεσθε ως εγω οτι καγω ως υμεις αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
13 But ye know that through a weakness of the flesh I preached the good news to you the first time.
οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν της σαρκος ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
14 And ye did not disdain, nor did ye reject my trial in my flesh, but ye received me as an agent of God, as Christ Jesus.
και τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλ ως αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ως χριστον ιησουν
15 Where then is your satisfaction? For I testify to you, that if possible, having plucked your eyes out, ye would have given them to me.
τις ουν ην ο μακαρισμος υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τους οφθαλμους υμων εξορυξαντες αν εδωκατε μοι
16 So then have I become your enemy telling you the truth?
ωστε εχθρος υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
17 They are zealous for you but not honorably. They want to exclude you, so that ye may be zealous for them.
ζηλουσιν υμας ου καλως αλλα εκκλεισαι υμας θελουσιν ινα αυτους ζηλουτε
18 But to be zealous of is always good in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
καλον δε το ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προς υμας
19 My little children, of whom I suffer birth pains again until Christ is formed in you.
τεκνια μου ους παλιν ωδινω αχρις ου μορφωθη χριστος εν υμιν
20 But I was wishing to be present with you now and to change my tone, because I am perplexed at you.
ηθελον δε παρειναι προς υμας αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
21 Tell me those desiring to be under law, do ye not hear the law?
λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντες ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the freewoman.
γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιους εσχεν ενα εκ της παιδισκης και ενα εκ της ελευθερας
23 But in fact, the man from the servant girl was born according to flesh, but the man from the freewoman through promise.
αλλ ο μεν εκ της παιδισκης κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ της ελευθερας δια της επαγγελιας
24 Which things are allegorized, for these are two covenants, indeed one from mount Sinai giving birth for bondage, which is Hagar.
ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν αι δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορους σινα εις δουλειαν γεννωσα ητις εστιν αγαρ
25 For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children.
το γαρ αγαρ σινα ορος εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτης
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all.
η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητις εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren woman not giving birth. Burst forth and shout, thou not suffering birth pains, because many more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.
γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα της ερημου μαλλον η της εχουσης τον ανδρα
28 Now we, brothers, who correspond to Isaac, are children of promise.
ημεις δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιας τεκνα εσμεν
29 But just as then, the man who was born according to flesh persecuted the man according to Spirit, so also now.
αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεις εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτως και νυν
30 Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will, no, not inherit with the son of the freewoman.
αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτης ου γαρ μη κληρονομηση ο υιος της παιδισκης μετα του υιου της ελευθερας
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant girl, but of the freewoman.
αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκης τεκνα αλλα της ελευθερας
