Galatians 4
1 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Ǹjẹ́ ohun tí mo ń wí ni pé, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí àrólé náà bá wà ní èwe, kò yàtọ̀ nínú ohunkóhun sí ẹrú bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ Olúwa ohun gbogbo.
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wà lábẹ́ olùtọ́jú àti ìríjú títí àkókò tí baba ti yàn tẹ́lẹ̀.
3 So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwa, nígbà tí àwa wà ní èwe, àwa wà nínú ìdè lábẹ́ ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé.
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àkókò kíkún náà dé, Ọlọ́run rán ọmọ rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹni tí a bí nínú obìnrin tí a bí lábẹ́ òfin.
5 That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Láti ra àwọn tí ń bẹ lábẹ́ òfin padà, kí àwa lè gba ìsọdọmọ.
6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
Àti nítorí tí ẹ̀yin jẹ́ ọmọ, Ọlọ́run sì ti rán Ẹ̀mí Ọmọ rẹ̀ wá sínú ọkàn yín, tí ń ké pé, “Ábbà, Baba.”
7 Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
Nítorí náà ìwọ kì í ṣe ẹrú, bí kò ṣe ọmọ; àti bí ìwọ bá ń ṣe ọmọ, ǹjẹ́ ìwọ di àrólé Ọlọ́run nípasẹ̀ Kristi.
8 But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
Tẹ́lẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin kò tí i mọ Ọlọ́run, ẹ̀yin ti ṣe ẹrú fún àwọn tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run nípa ìṣẹ̀dá.
9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ti mọ Ọlọ́run tan tàbí kí a sá kúkú wí pé ẹ di mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, èéha ti rí tí ẹ tún fi yípadà sí aláìlera àti agbára ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ẹ̀dá, lábẹ́ èyí tí ẹ̀yin tún fẹ́ padà wá ṣe ẹrú?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Ẹ̀yin ń kíyèsi ọjọ́ àti àkókò, àti ọdún.
11 I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
Ẹ̀rù yin ń bà mí, kí o má bà ṣe pé lásán ni mo ṣe làálàá lórí yín.
12 Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.
Ará, mo bẹ̀ yín, ẹ dàbí èmi: nítorí èmi dàbí ẹ̀yin: ẹ̀yin kò ṣe mí ní ibi kan.
13 And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,
Ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé nínú àìlera ni mo wàásù ìyìnrere fún yín ní àkọ́kọ́.
14 You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Èyí tí ó sì jẹ́ ìdánwò fún yín ní ara mi ni ẹ kò kẹ́gàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò sì kọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin gbà mí bí angẹli Ọlọ́run, àní bí Kristi Jesu.
15 Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.
Ǹjẹ́ ayọ̀ yín ìgbà náà ha dà? Nítorí mo gba ẹ̀rí yín pé, bi o bá ṣe é ṣe, ẹ̀ ò bá yọ ojú yín jáde, ẹ̀ bá sì fi wọ́n fún mi.
16 Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Ǹjẹ́ mo ha di ọ̀tá yín nítorí mo sọ òtítọ́ fún yín bí?
17 They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
Wọ́n ń fi ìtara wá yin, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún rere; wọ́n ń fẹ́ já yin kúrò, kí ẹ̀yin lè máa wá wọn.
18 But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó dára láti máa fi ìtara wá ni fún ohun rere nígbà gbogbo, kì í sì í ṣe nígbà tí mo wà pẹ̀lú yín nìkan.
19 My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi kéékèèké, ẹ̀yin tí mo tún ń rọbí títí a ó fi ṣe ẹ̀dá Kristi nínú yín.
20 And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
Ìbá wù mí láti wà lọ́dọ̀ yín nísinsin yìí, kí èmi sì yí ohùn mi padà nítorí pé mo dààmú nítorí yín.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
Ẹ wí fún mi, ẹ̀yin tí ń fẹ́ wà lábẹ́ òfin, ẹ ko ha gbọ́ òfin ohun ti òfin sọ.
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.
Nítorí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, Abrahamu ní ọmọ ọkùnrin méjì, ọ̀kan láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹrúbìnrin, àti ọ̀kan láti ọ̀dọ̀ òmìnira obìnrin.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.
Ṣùgbọ́n a bí èyí tí ṣe ti ẹrúbìnrin nípa ti ara, ṣùgbọ́n èyí ti òmìnira obìnrin ni a bí nípa ìlérí.
24 Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí jẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ: nítorí pé àwọn obìnrin wọ̀nyí ní májẹ̀mú méjèèjì; ọ̀kan láti orí òkè Sinai wá, tí a bí lóko ẹrú, tí í ṣe Hagari.
25 For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Nítorí Hagari yìí ni òkè Sinai Arabia, tí ó sì dúró fún Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà nísinsin yìí, tí ó sì wà lóko ẹrú pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
26 But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jerusalẹmu ti òkè jẹ́ òmìnira, èyí tí í ṣe ìyá wa.
27 For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
Nítorí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, “Máa yọ̀, ìwọ obìnrin àgàn tí kò bímọ, bú sí ayọ̀ kí o sì kígbe sókè, ìwọ tí kò rọbí rí; nítorí àwọn ọmọ obìnrin náà tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ yóò pọ̀ ju ti obìnrin tó ní ọkọ lọ.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Ǹjẹ́ ará, ọmọ ìlérí ni àwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí Isaaki.
29 But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí èyí tí a bí nípa ti ara ti ṣe inúnibíni nígbà náà sí èyí tí a bí nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni nísinsin yìí.
30 But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwé mímọ́ ha ti wí, “Lé ẹrúbìnrin yìí àti ọmọ rẹ̀ jáde, nítorí ọmọ ẹrúbìnrin kì yóò bá ọmọ òmìnira obìnrin jogún pọ̀.”
31 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
Nítorí náà, ará, àwa kì í ṣe ọmọ ẹrúbìnrin bí kò ṣe ti òmìnira obìnrin.
