Galatians 4
1 And I say, now as much time as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a servant, [though] being lord of all,
λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομος νηπιος εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριος παντων ων
2 but is under tutors and stewards until the time appointed of the father,
αλλα υπο επιτροπους εστιν και οικονομους αχρι της προθεσμιας του πατρος
3 so we also, when we were children, were in servitude under the elements of the world,
ουτως και ημεις οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
4 and when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικος γενομενον υπο νομον
5 that He may redeem those under law, that we may receive the adoption as sons;
ινα τους υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
6 and because you 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 you are no longer a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
ωστε ουκετι ει δουλος αλλ υιος ει δε υιος και κληρονομος θεου δια χριστου
8 But then, indeed, having not known God, you were in servitude to those [that are] not by nature gods,
αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτες θεον εδουλευσατε τοις μη φυσει ουσιν θεοις
9 and now, having known God—and rather being known by God—how [do] you turn again to the weak and poor elements to which you desire anew to be in servitude?
νυν δε γνοντες θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντες υπο θεου πως επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οις παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years!
ημερας παρατηρεισθε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους
11 I am afraid for you, lest I labored in vain for you.
φοβουμαι υμας μηπως εικη κεκοπιακα εις υμας
12 I implore you, brothers, become as I [am]—because I also [am] as you; you did not hurt me;
γινεσθε ως εγω οτι καγω ως υμεις αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
13 and you have known that through weakness of the flesh I proclaimed good news to you at the first,
οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν της σαρκος ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
14 and you did not despise nor reject my trial that [is] in my flesh, but you received me as a messenger 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 what then was your blessedness? For I testify to you, that if possible, having plucked out your eyes, you 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 have I become your enemy, being true to you?
ωστε εχθρος υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
17 They are zealous for you—[yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that you may be zealous for them;
ζηλουσιν υμας ου καλως αλλα εκκλεισαι υμας θελουσιν ινα αυτους ζηλουτε
18 and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being 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 travail in birth again until Christ may be formed in you,
τεκνια μου ους παλιν ωδινω αχρις ου μορφωθη χριστος εν υμιν
20 indeed I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
ηθελον δε παρειναι προς υμας αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
21 Tell me, you who are willing to be under law, do you not hear the Law?
λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντες ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
22 For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one by the maidservant and one by the free [woman],
γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιους εσχεν ενα εκ της παιδισκης και ενα εκ της ελευθερας
23 but he who [is] of the maidservant has been according to flesh, but he who [is] of the free [woman], through the 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 the two covenants: one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, bringing forth to servitude, 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 this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,
το γαρ αγαρ σινα ορος εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτης
26 and the Jerusalem above is the free [woman], which is mother of us all,
η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητις εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
27 for it has been written: “Rejoice, O barren, who is not bearing; break forth and cry, you who are not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate—more than of her having 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 And we, brothers, as Isaac, are children of promise,
ημεις δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιας τεκνα εσμεν
29 but as he then who was born according to the flesh persecuted him [born] according to the Spirit, so also now;
αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεις εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτως και νυν
30 but what does the Writing say? “Cast forth the maidservant and her son, for the son of the maidservant may not be heir with the son of the free [woman]”;
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 then, brothers, we are not a maidservant’s children, but the free [woman’s].
αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκης τεκνα αλλα της ελευθερας
