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,
ahaM vadAmi sampadadhikArI yAvad bAlastiSThati tAvat sarvvasvasyAdhipatiH sannapi sa dAsAt kEnApi viSayENa na viziSyatE
2 but is under tutors and stewards until the time appointed of the father,
kintu pitrA nirUpitaM samayaM yAvat pAlakAnAM dhanAdhyakSANAnjca nighnastiSThati|
3 so we also, when we were children, were in servitude under the elements of the world,
tadvad vayamapi bAlyakAlE dAsA iva saMsArasyAkSaramAlAyA adhInA AsmahE|
4 and when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,
anantaraM samayE sampUrNatAM gatavati vyavasthAdhInAnAM mOcanArtham
5 that He may redeem those under law, that we may receive the adoption as sons;
asmAkaM putratvaprAptyarthanjcEzvaraH striyA jAtaM vyavasthAyA adhinIbhUtanjca svaputraM prESitavAn|
6 and because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
yUyaM santAnA abhavata tatkAraNAd IzvaraH svaputrasyAtmAnAM yuSmAkam antaHkaraNAni prahitavAn sa cAtmA pitaH pitarityAhvAnaM kArayati|
7 So that you are no longer a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
ata idAnIM yUyaM na dAsAH kintuH santAnA Eva tasmAt santAnatvAcca khrISTEnEzvarIyasampadadhikAriNO'pyAdhvE|
8 But then, indeed, having not known God, you were in servitude to those [that are] not by nature gods,
aparanjca pUrvvaM yUyam IzvaraM na jnjAtvA yE svabhAvatO'nIzvarAstESAM dAsatvE'tiSThata|
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?
idAnIm IzvaraM jnjAtvA yadi vEzvarENa jnjAtA yUyaM kathaM punastAni viphalAni tucchAni cAkSarANi prati parAvarttituM zaknutha? yUyaM kiM punastESAM dAsA bhavitumicchatha?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years!
yUyaM divasAn mAsAn tithIn saMvatsarAMzca sammanyadhvE|
11 I am afraid for you, lest I labored in vain for you.
yuSmadarthaM mayA yaH parizramO'kAri sa viphalO jAta iti yuSmAnadhyahaM bibhEmi|
12 I implore you, brothers, become as I [am]—because I also [am] as you; you did not hurt me;
hE bhrAtaraH, ahaM yAdRzO'smi yUyamapi tAdRzA bhavatEti prArthayE yatO'hamapi yuSmattulyO'bhavaM yuSmAbhi rmama kimapi nAparAddhaM|
13 and you have known that through weakness of the flesh I proclaimed good news to you at the first,
pUrvvamahaM kalEvarasya daurbbalyEna yuSmAn susaMvAdam ajnjApayamiti yUyaM jAnItha|
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;
tadAnIM mama parIkSakaM zArIraklEzaM dRSTvA yUyaM mAm avajnjAya RtIyitavantastannahi kintvIzvarasya dUtamiva sAkSAt khrISTa yIzumiva vA mAM gRhItavantaH|
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;
atastadAnIM yuSmAkaM yA dhanyatAbhavat sA kka gatA? tadAnIM yUyaM yadi svESAM nayanAnyutpATya mahyaM dAtum azakSyata tarhi tadapyakariSyatEti pramANam ahaM dadAmi|
16 so have I become your enemy, being true to you?
sAmpratamahaM satyavAditvAt kiM yuSmAkaM ripu rjAtO'smi?
17 They are zealous for you—[yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that you may be zealous for them;
tE yuSmatkRtE sparddhantE kintu sA sparddhA kutsitA yatO yUyaM tAnadhi yat sparddhadhvaM tadarthaM tE yuSmAn pRthak karttum icchanti|
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;
kEvalaM yuSmatsamIpE mamOpasthitisamayE tannahi, kintu sarvvadaiva bhadramadhi sparddhanaM bhadraM|
19 my little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ may be formed in you,
hE mama bAlakAH, yuSmadanta ryAvat khrISTO mUrtimAn na bhavati tAvad yuSmatkAraNAt punaH prasavavEdanEva mama vEdanA jAyatE|
20 indeed I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.
ahamidAnIM yuSmAkaM sannidhiM gatvA svarAntarENa yuSmAn sambhASituM kAmayE yatO yuSmAnadhi vyAkulO'smi|
21 Tell me, you who are willing to be under law, do you not hear the Law?
hE vyavasthAdhInatAkAgkSiNaH yUyaM kiM vyavasthAyA vacanaM na gRhlItha?
22 For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one by the maidservant and one by the free [woman],
tanmAM vadata| likhitamAstE, ibrAhImO dvau putrAvAsAtE tayOrEkO dAsyAM dvitIyazca patnyAM jAtaH|
23 but he who [is] of the maidservant has been according to flesh, but he who [is] of the free [woman], through the promise,
tayO ryO dAsyAM jAtaH sa zArIrikaniyamEna jajnjE yazca patnyAM jAtaH sa pratijnjayA jajnjE|
24 which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, bringing forth to servitude, which is Hagar;
idamAkhyAnaM dRSTantasvarUpaM| tE dvE yOSitAvIzvarIyasandhI tayOrEkA sInayaparvvatAd utpannA dAsajanayitrI ca sA tu hAjirA|
25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,
yasmAd hAjirAzabdEnAravadEzasthasInayaparvvatO bOdhyatE, sA ca varttamAnAyA yirUzAlampuryyAH sadRzI| yataH svabAlaiH sahitA sA dAsatva AstE|
26 and the Jerusalem above is the free [woman], which is mother of us all,
kintu svargIyA yirUzAlampurI patnI sarvvESAm asmAkaM mAtA cAstE|
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.”
yAdRzaM likhitam AstE, "vandhyE santAnahInE tvaM svaraM jayajayaM kuru| aprasUtE tvayOllAsO jayAzabdazca gIyatAM| yata Eva sanAthAyA yOSitaH santatE rgaNAt| anAthA yA bhavEnnArI tadapatyAni bhUrizaH||"
28 And we, brothers, as Isaac, are children of promise,
hE bhrAtRgaNa, imhAk iva vayaM pratijnjayA jAtAH santAnAH|
29 but as he then who was born according to the flesh persecuted him [born] according to the Spirit, so also now;
kintu tadAnIM zArIrikaniyamEna jAtaH putrO yadvad AtmikaniyamEna jAtaM putram upAdravat tathAdhunApi|
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]”;
kintu zAstrE kiM likhitaM? "tvam imAM dAsIM tasyAH putranjcApasAraya yata ESa dAsIputraH patnIputrENa samaM nOttarAdhikArI bhaviyyatIti|"
31 then, brothers, we are not a maidservant’s children, but the free [woman’s].
ataEva hE bhrAtaraH, vayaM dAsyAH santAnA na bhUtvA pAtnyAH santAnA bhavAmaH|
