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,
Hoe ty hatovoko: Tsy mifañòva ami’ty ondevo ty mpandova mbe ajaja, ndra t’ie ty tompo’ ze he’e;
2 but is under tutors and stewards until the time appointed of the father,
amy t’ie fehè’ o mpañabeio naho o mpañokeo ampara’ ty andro tinendren-drae’e.
3 so we also, when we were children, were in servitude under the elements of the world,
Itikañe ka, naho mbe ni-ajaja ro nondevoze’ o fañè’ ty voatse toio.
4 and when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
Fa naho nitsatoke ty fañenefañe i saay, le nahitrin’ Añahare t’i Ana’e, sinama’ ty Rakemba, toly ambane’ Hake,
5 that He may redeem those under law, that we may receive the adoption as sons;
hijebañe o ambane’ Hake aoo, hameloñe an-tika ho anake.
6 and because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Aa kanao anake, le fa nahitrin’ Añahare añ’arofo’ areo ao t’i Arofo’ i Ana’ey, mikoike: Aba, Rae.
7 So that you are no longer a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
Aa le tsy ondevo ka irehe, fa anake; aa kanao anake, le mpandova aman’ Añahare, añamy Norizañey.
8 But then, indeed, having not known God, you were in servitude to those [that are] not by nature gods,
Ie taolo, mbe tsy nahafohiñe an’Andrianañahare, naho niondevo’ o toe tsy ndrañahareo;
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?
f’ie mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare henaneo—toe i Andrianañahare ty maharofoanañe anahareo—aa mañino te tolihe’ areo indraike o fañè maleme naho votroo? Te hiheren-ko ondevo’ irezay indraike v’inahareo?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years!
hañorik’ andro naho volañe naho sa vaho taoñe?
11 I am afraid for you, lest I labored in vain for you.
Imarimarihako he kafoake ty nifanehafako ama’ areo.
12 I implore you, brothers, become as I [am]—because I also [am] as you; you did not hurt me;
O ry longo, mihalaly ama’ areo, misoloa ahy, manahake ty nisoloako anahareo—ie tsy nanao raty ahy.
13 and you have known that through weakness of the flesh I proclaimed good news to you at the first,
Fohi’ areo te an-kasilofan-tsandriñe ty nitaroñako i talili-soay tam-baloha’e.
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;
Le tsy nisirikaeñe naho tsy nampangorì’ areo, i nañembetse ahy amy hasilofan-tsandrikoy, fe nampihovae’ areo hoe t’ie ni-anjelin’ Añahare, toe nanahake Iesoà Norizañey.
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;
Aia i fañanintsiñe tama’ areoy? Mahavolan-draho naho nimete, te ho napoliti’ areo o fihaino’ areoo vaho natolots’ ahiko.
16 so have I become your enemy, being true to you?
Aa vaho rafelahi’ areo hao iraho kanao ivolañako ty hatò?
17 They are zealous for you—[yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that you may be zealous for them;
Malisa mipay anahareo iereo, tsy te hañasoa, fa ty hampiria an-tikañe, hipiteha’ areo ama’e.
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;
Soa avao te paiañe t’ie hahimbañe nainai’e ho ami’ty hasoa, fa tsy t’ie miatreke avao.
19 my little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ may be formed in you,
Ry anake, hoe mitsongo te hiterake indraike iraho ampara’ te miforoñe ama’ areo ao i Norizañey.
20 indeed I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
Sinda te ho ama’ areo iraho henaneo hiovà’ ty feoko fa mahasekatse ahy.
21 Tell me, you who are willing to be under law, do you not hear the Law?
Mitalilia, ie te ho fehè’ i Hake, ke tsy janji’ areo t’i Hake?
22 For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one by the maidservant and one by the free [woman],
Toe pinatetse te nanañ’ anake roe t’i Abraàme, teo ty a i ondevo ampelay, teo ty a i rakemba hahay.
23 but he who [is] of the maidservant has been according to flesh, but he who [is] of the free [woman], through the promise,
Naterake amo haondatio i anak’ ondevoy, fe amy nampitamañey i anan-drakemba hahay;
24 which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, bringing forth to servitude, which is Hagar;
fandrazañañe ami’ty fañina roe iereo: ty raike hirike am-bohi-Sinaiy miterake fañondevozañe, i Hagara zay.
25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,
Vohi-Sinay e Arabia añey t’i Hagara, ie manoiñe ho Ierosaleme henaneo, amy t’ie mitoroñe hoe ondevo miharo amo ana’eo.
26 and the Jerusalem above is the free [woman], which is mother of us all,
Fe haha t’Ierosaleme ambone ao, ie ty renen-tikañe.
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.”
Hoe ty pinatetse: Mirebeha ry betsiterake tsy mahatoly! Mipoñafa an-koiake, ry tsy mitsongoo! Fa maro ty ana’ i bangiy, te amy amam-baliy.
28 And we, brothers, as Isaac, are children of promise,
Le manahak’ Isaka, ana’ i fampitamañey, tika ry longo.
29 but as he then who was born according to the flesh persecuted him [born] according to the Spirit, so also now;
F’ie henane zay, nampisoañe’ i naterake amy nofotseiy i amy Arofoy, le ie ka henaneo.
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]”;
Aa vaho ino ty pinatetse amy Sokitse Masiñey ao? Aitò i ondevo ampelay naho i ana’ey, fa tsy hitrao-dova amy ana’ i rakembaiy ty ana’ i ondevoy.
31 then, brothers, we are not a maidservant’s children, but the free [woman’s].
Ie amy zao ry longo, tsy ana’ i ondevo ampelay tika, fa amy hahay.
