Galatians 4
1 Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all;
ahaṁ vadāmi sampadadhikārī yāvad bālastiṣṭhati tāvat sarvvasvasyādhipatiḥ sannapi sa dāsāt kenāpi viṣayeṇa na viśiṣyate
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father.
kintu pitrā nirūpitaṁ samayaṁ yāvat pālakānāṁ dhanādhyakṣāṇāñca nighnastiṣṭhati|
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
tadvad vayamapi bālyakāle dāsā iva saṁsārasyākṣaramālāyā adhīnā āsmahe|
4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
anantaraṁ samaye sampūrṇatāṁ gatavati vyavasthādhīnānāṁ mocanārtham
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
asmākaṁ putratvaprāptyarthañceśvaraḥ striyā jātaṁ vyavasthāyā adhinībhūtañca svaputraṁ preṣitavān|
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
yūyaṁ santānā abhavata tatkāraṇād īśvaraḥ svaputrasyātmānāṁ yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni prahitavān sa cātmā pitaḥ pitarityāhvānaṁ kārayati|
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
ata idānīṁ yūyaṁ na dāsāḥ kintuḥ santānā eva tasmāt santānatvācca khrīṣṭeneśvarīyasampadadhikāriṇo'pyādhve|
8 However then, when ye knew not God, ye did service to them which by nature are no gods.
aparañca pūrvvaṁ yūyam īśvaraṁ na jñātvā ye svabhāvato'nīśvarāsteṣāṁ dāsatve'tiṣṭhata|
9 But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?
idānīm īśvaraṁ jñātvā yadi veśvareṇa jñātā yūyaṁ kathaṁ punastāni viphalāni tucchāni cākṣarāṇi prati parāvarttituṁ śaknutha? yūyaṁ kiṁ punasteṣāṁ dāsā bhavitumicchatha?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
yūyaṁ divasān māsān tithīn saṁvatsarāṁśca sammanyadhve|
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
yuṣmadarthaṁ mayā yaḥ pariśramo'kāri sa viphalo jāta iti yuṣmānadhyahaṁ bibhemi|
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
he bhrātaraḥ, ahaṁ yādṛśo'smi yūyamapi tādṛśā bhavateti prārthaye yato'hamapi yuṣmattulyo'bhavaṁ yuṣmābhi rmama kimapi nāparāddhaṁ|
13 Ye know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first.
pūrvvamahaṁ kalevarasya daurbbalyena yuṣmān susaṁvādam ajñāpayamiti yūyaṁ jānītha|
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.
tadānīṁ mama parīkṣakaṁ śārīrakleśaṁ dṛṣṭvā yūyaṁ mām avajñāya ṛtīyitavantastannahi kintvīśvarasya dūtamiva sākṣāt khrīṣṭa yīśumiva vā māṁ gṛhītavantaḥ|
15 What then was the blessedness ye spoke of; for I bear you testimony, that, if [it had been] possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
atastadānīṁ yuṣmākaṁ yā dhanyatābhavat sā kka gatā? tadānīṁ yūyaṁ yadi sveṣāṁ nayanānyutpāṭya mahyaṁ dātum aśakṣyata tarhi tadapyakariṣyateti pramāṇam ahaṁ dadāmi|
16 Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
sāmpratamahaṁ satyavāditvāt kiṁ yuṣmākaṁ ripu rjāto'smi?
17 They zealously affect you, [but] not well; for, they would exclude you, that ye may affect them.
te yuṣmatkṛte sparddhante kintu sā sparddhā kutsitā yato yūyaṁ tānadhi yat sparddhadhvaṁ tadarthaṁ te yuṣmān pṛthak karttum icchanti|
18 But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.
kevalaṁ yuṣmatsamīpe mamopasthitisamaye tannahi, kintu sarvvadaiva bhadramadhi sparddhanaṁ bhadraṁ|
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you,
he mama bālakāḥ, yuṣmadanta ryāvat khrīṣṭo mūrtimān na bhavati tāvad yuṣmatkāraṇāt punaḥ prasavavedaneva mama vedanā jāyate|
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
ahamidānīṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhiṁ gatvā svarāntareṇa yuṣmān sambhāṣituṁ kāmaye yato yuṣmānadhi vyākulo'smi|
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
he vyavasthādhīnatākāṅkṣiṇaḥ yūyaṁ kiṁ vyavasthāyā vacanaṁ na gṛhlītha?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons; the one by a bond-maid, the other by a free-woman.
tanmāṁ vadata| likhitamāste, ibrāhīmo dvau putrāvāsāte tayoreko dāsyāṁ dvitīyaśca patnyāṁ jātaḥ|
23 But he [who was] of the bond-woman, was born according to the flesh; but he of the free-woman [was] by promise.
tayo ryo dāsyāṁ jātaḥ sa śārīrikaniyamena jajñe yaśca patnyāṁ jātaḥ sa pratijñayā jajñe|
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
idamākhyānaṁ dṛṣṭantasvarūpaṁ| te dve yoṣitāvīśvarīyasandhī tayorekā sīnayaparvvatād utpannā dāsajanayitrī ca sā tu hājirā|
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
yasmād hājirāśabdenāravadeśasthasīnayaparvvato bodhyate, sā ca varttamānāyā yirūśālampuryyāḥ sadṛśī| yataḥ svabālaiḥ sahitā sā dāsatva āste|
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
kintu svargīyā yirūśālampurī patnī sarvveṣām asmākaṁ mātā cāste|
27 For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she who hath a husband.
yādṛśaṁ likhitam āste, "vandhye santānahīne tvaṁ svaraṁ jayajayaṁ kuru| aprasūte tvayollāso jayāśabdaśca gīyatāṁ| yata eva sanāthāyā yoṣitaḥ santate rgaṇāt| anāthā yā bhavennārī tadapatyāni bhūriśaḥ||"
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
he bhrātṛgaṇa, imhāk iva vayaṁ pratijñayā jātāḥ santānāḥ|
29 But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
kintu tadānīṁ śārīrikaniyamena jātaḥ putro yadvad ātmikaniyamena jātaṁ putram upādravat tathādhunāpi|
30 Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? Cast out the bond-woman and her son: for the son of the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman.
kintu śāstre kiṁ likhitaṁ? "tvam imāṁ dāsīṁ tasyāḥ putrañcāpasāraya yata eṣa dāsīputraḥ patnīputreṇa samaṁ nottarādhikārī bhaviyyatīti|"
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free.
ataeva he bhrātaraḥ, vayaṁ dāsyāḥ santānā na bhūtvā pātnyāḥ santānā bhavāmaḥ|
