< Galatians 4 >

1 But I say that what time the heir is a child, he differeth not from a servant, though he be lord of all,
Λέγω δέ, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον χρόνον ὁ κληρονόμος νήπιός ἐστιν, οὐδὲν διαφέρει δούλου κύριος πάντων ὤν·
2 but is under curators and stewards until the time which his father appointeth.
ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὸ ἐπιτρόπους ἐστὶν καὶ οἰκονόμους ἄχρι τῆς προθεσμίας τοῦ πατρός.
3 So we also, while children, under the principles of the world were subjected.
οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς ὅτε ἦμεν νήπιοι, ὑπὸ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου (ἤμεθα *N(k)O*) δεδουλωμένοι·
4 But when the fulness of the time had come, Aloha sent his Son, and made from a woman, and made under the law,
ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου, ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός, γενόμενον ὑπὸ νόμον,
5 that them who were under the law he might redeem, and we might receive the constitution of sons.
ἵνα τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον ἐξαγοράσῃ, ἵνα τὴν υἱοθεσίαν ἀπολάβωμεν.
6 And because you are sons, Aloha hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father.
ὅτι δέ ἐστε υἱοί, ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς καρδίας (ἡμῶν *N(K)O*) κρᾶζον· αββα ὁ πατήρ.
7 Therefore you are not servants, but sons; and if sons, heirs also of Aloha, through Jeshu Meshiha.
ὥστε οὐκέτι οὐκέτι εἶ δοῦλος ἀλλ᾽ υἱός· εἰ δὲ υἱός, καὶ κληρονόμος διὰ θεοῦ (Χριστοῦ. *K*)
8 For, while not knowing Aloha, you served them who by their nature are not gods:
Ἀλλὰ τότε μὲν οὐκ εἰδότες θεὸν ἐδουλεύσατε τοῖς φύσει μὴ οὖσιν θεοῖς·
9 but now that you have known Aloha, and especially that you have been acknowledged of Aloha, turn you again to those diseased and beggarly principles, and will to be subject to them afresh?
νῦν δὲ γνόντες θεόν, μᾶλλον δὲ γνωσθέντες ὑπὸ θεοῦ, πῶς ἐπιστρέφετε πάλιν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ καὶ πτωχὰ στοιχεῖα οἷς πάλιν ἄνωθεν (δουλεύειν *NK(o)*) θέλετε;
10 Days, and months, and times, you observe.
ἡμέρας παρατηρεῖσθε καὶ μῆνας καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἐνιαυτούς.
11 I am afraid, lest vain in I have laboured among you.
φοβοῦμαι ὑμᾶς μή πως εἰκῇ κεκοπίακα εἰς ὑμᾶς.
12 Be you as I am, for I am as you are, my brethren, I beseech you. In nothing have you injured me.
Γίνεσθε ὡς ἐγώ, ὅτι κἀγὼ κἀγὼ ὡς ὑμεῖς. Ἀδελφοί, δέομαι ὑμῶν· οὐδέν με ἠδικήσατε.
13 For you know that in infirmity of my flesh I preached to you at the first.
οἴδατε δὲ ὅτι δι᾽ ἀσθένειαν τῆς σαρκὸς εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν τὸ πρότερον,
14 And the temptation of my flesh you did not despise nor execrate; but as an angel of Aloha you received me, and as of Jeshu Meshiha.
καὶ τὸν πειρασμὸν (ὑμῶν *N(K)O*) (τὸν *k*) ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου οὐκ ἐξουθενήσατε οὐδὲ ἐξεπτύσατε, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἄγγελον θεοῦ ἐδέξασθέ με, ὡς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν.
15 Where then is your happiness? For I testify of you, that had it been possible, your eye you would have plucked out and given to me.
(Ποῦ *N(K)O*) οὖν (ἦν *k*) ὁ μακαρισμὸς ὑμῶν; μαρτυρῶ γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι, εἰ δυνατόν, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν ἐξορύξαντες (ἂν *k*) ἐδώκατέ μοι.
16 Have I become your adversary, because I have preached to you the truth?
ὥστε ἐχθρὸς ὑμῶν γέγονα ἀληθεύων ὑμῖν;
17 They are emulous of you not for good; but they would shut you in, that you might be emulous of them.
ζηλοῦσιν ὑμᾶς οὐ καλῶς, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκκλεῖσαι ὑμᾶς θέλουσιν, ἵνα αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε.
18 But it is well to be emulous in good things at all time, and not only when I am with you.
καλὸν δὲ (τὸ *k*) ζηλοῦσθαι ἐν καλῷ πάντοτε, καὶ μὴ μόνον ἐν τῷ παρεῖναί με πρὸς ὑμᾶς,
19 My children, with whom I travail afresh until the Meshiha be formed in you,
(τέκνα *N(k)O*) μου, οὓς πάλιν ὠδίνω (μέχρις *N(k)O*) οὗ μορφωθῇ Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν.
20 I would be with you now, and change the sound of my voice, because I am astonished at you.
ἤθελον δὲ παρεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἄρτι καὶ ἀλλάξαι τὴν φωνήν μου, ὅτι ἀποροῦμαι ἐν ὑμῖν.
21 Tell me, you who are willing to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
Λέγετέ μοι, οἱ ὑπὸ νόμον θέλοντες εἶναι, τὸν νόμον οὐκ ἀκούετε;
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one of the bondmaid, and one of the free.
γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι Ἀβραὰμ δύο υἱοὺς ἔσχεν, ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας.
23 But he who was of the bondmaid was born according to the flesh, and he who was of the free was by the promise.
ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μὲν ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης κατὰ σάρκα γεγέννηται, ὁ δὲ ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας δι᾽ (τῆς *k*) ἐπαγγελίας.
24 But these are parables of the two covenants: the one which was from Mount Sinai bringing forth into bondage, which is Hagar:
ἅτινά ἐστιν ἀλληγορούμενα· αὗται γάρ εἰσιν (αἱ *k*) δύο διαθῆκαι, μία μὲν ἀπὸ ὄρους Σινᾶ εἰς δουλείαν γεννῶσα ἥτις ἐστὶν Ἁγάρ.
25 for Hagar is Mount Sinai which is in Arabia, and answers to this Urishlem, and serves in bondage, she and her children.
τὸ (δὲ *N(k)O*) Ἁγὰρ Σινᾶ ὄρος ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ Ἀραβίᾳ, συστοιχεῖ δὲ τῇ νῦν Ἰερουσαλήμ, δουλεύει (γὰρ *N(k)O*) μετὰ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς.
26 But she, Urishilem the high, is the free, who is our mother.
ἡ δὲ ἄνω Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἥτις ἐστὶν μήτηρ (πάντων *K*) ἡμῶν·
27 For it is written, Be glad, O barren, who hast not borne; Exult and cry, thou who hast not travailed; Because multiplied are the sons of the desolate, More than the sons of the married wife.
γέγραπται γάρ· εὐφράνθητι στεῖρα ἡ οὐ τίκτουσα, ῥῆξον καὶ βόησον ἡ οὐκ ὠδίνουσα, ὅτι πολλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐρήμου μᾶλλον ἢ τῆς ἐχούσης τὸν ἄνδρα.
28 But we, my brethren, as Ishak, are the children of promise.
(ὑμεῖς *N(K)O*) δέ, ἀδελφοί, κατὰ Ἰσαὰκ ἐπαγγελίας τέκνα (ἐστέ. *N(K)O*)
29 And as then he who was born of the flesh persecuted him who was after the Spirit, so also now.
ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ τότε ὁ κατὰ σάρκα γεννηθεὶς ἐδίωκεν τὸν κατὰ πνεῦμα οὕτως καὶ νῦν·
30 But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free.
ἀλλὰ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή; ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, οὐ γὰρ μὴ (κληρονομήσει *N(k)O*) ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἐλευθέρας.
31 We therefore, my brethren, are not the children of the bondmaid, but the children of the free.
(διό, *N(k)O*) ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐσμὲν παιδίσκης τέκνα ἀλλὰ τῆς ἐλευθέρας·
