Galatians 4
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
ahaM vadAmi sampadadhikArI yAvad bAlastiSThati tAvat sarvvasvasyAdhipatiH sannapi sa dAsAt kenApi viSayeNa na viziSyate
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
kintu pitrA nirUpitaM samayaM yAvat pAlakAnAM dhanAdhyakSANAJca nighnastiSThati|
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
tadvad vayamapi bAlyakAle dAsA iva saMsArasyAkSaramAlAyA adhInA Asmahe|
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
anantaraM samaye sampUrNatAM gatavati vyavasthAdhInAnAM mocanArtham
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
asmAkaM putratvaprAptyarthaJcezvaraH striyA jAtaM vyavasthAyA adhinIbhUtaJca svaputraM preSitavAn|
6 And because you are children, God sent out 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 you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
ata idAnIM yUyaM na dAsAH kintuH santAnA eva tasmAt santAnatvAcca khrISTenezvarIyasampadadhikAriNo'pyAdhve|
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
aparaJca pUrvvaM yUyam IzvaraM na jJAtvA ye svabhAvato'nIzvarAsteSAM dAsatve'tiSThata|
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
idAnIm IzvaraM jJAtvA yadi vezvareNa jJAtA yUyaM kathaM punastAni viphalAni tucchAni cAkSarANi prati parAvarttituM zaknutha? yUyaM kiM punasteSAM dAsA bhavitumicchatha?
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
yUyaM divasAn mAsAn tithIn saMvatsarAMzca sammanyadhve|
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
yuSmadarthaM mayA yaH parizramo'kAri sa viphalo jAta iti yuSmAnadhyahaM bibhemi|
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
he bhrAtaraH, ahaM yAdRzo'smi yUyamapi tAdRzA bhavateti prArthaye yato'hamapi yuSmattulyo'bhavaM yuSmAbhi rmama kimapi nAparAddhaM|
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
pUrvvamahaM kalevarasya daurbbalyena yuSmAn susaMvAdam ajJApayamiti yUyaM jAnItha|
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you did not despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
tadAnIM mama parIkSakaM zArIraklezaM dRSTvA yUyaM mAm avajJAya RtIyitavantastannahi kintvIzvarasya dUtamiva sAkSAt khrISTa yIzumiva vA mAM gRhItavantaH|
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and 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 then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
sAmpratamahaM satyavAditvAt kiM yuSmAkaM ripu rjAto'smi?
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
te yuSmatkRte sparddhante kintu sA sparddhA kutsitA yato yUyaM tAnadhi yat sparddhadhvaM tadarthaM te yuSmAn pRthak karttum icchanti|
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
kevalaM yuSmatsamIpe mamopasthitisamaye tannahi, kintu sarvvadaiva bhadramadhi sparddhanaM bhadraM|
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
he mama bAlakAH, yuSmadanta ryAvat khrISTo mUrtimAn na bhavati tAvad yuSmatkAraNAt punaH prasavavedaneva mama vedanA jAyate|
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
ahamidAnIM yuSmAkaM sannidhiM gatvA svarAntareNa yuSmAn sambhASituM kAmaye yato yuSmAnadhi vyAkulo'smi|
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do not you listen to the law?
he vyavasthAdhInatAkAGkSiNaH yUyaM kiM vyavasthAyA vacanaM na gRhlItha?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
tanmAM vadata| likhitamAste, ibrAhImo dvau putrAvAsAte tayoreko dAsyAM dvitIyazca patnyAM jAtaH|
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
tayo ryo dAsyAM jAtaH sa zArIrikaniyamena jajJe yazca patnyAM jAtaH sa pratijJayA jajJe|
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, 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 answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
yasmAd hAjirAzabdenAravadezasthasInayaparvvato bodhyate, sA ca varttamAnAyA yirUzAlampuryyAH sadRzI| yataH svabAlaiH sahitA sA dAsatva Aste|
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
kintu svargIyA yirUzAlampurI patnI sarvveSAm asmAkaM mAtA cAste|
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break out and shout, you who do not travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a 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 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
he bhrAtRgaNa, imhAk iva vayaM pratijJayA jAtAH santAnAH|
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
kintu tadAnIM zArIrikaniyamena jAtaH putro yadvad Atmikaniyamena jAtaM putram upAdravat tathAdhunApi|
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
kintu zAstre kiM likhitaM? "tvam imAM dAsIM tasyAH putraJcApasAraya yata eSa dAsIputraH patnIputreNa samaM nottarAdhikArI bhaviyyatIti|"
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
ataeva he bhrAtaraH, vayaM dAsyAH santAnA na bhUtvA pAtnyAH santAnA bhavAmaH|
