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,
λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομοσ νηπιοσ εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριοσ παντων ων
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
αλλα υπο επιτροπουσ εστιν και οικονομουσ αχρι τησ προθεσμιασ του πατροσ
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
ουτωσ και ημεισ οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικοσ γενομενον υπο νομον
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
ινα τουσ υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
ωστε ουκετι ει δουλοσ αλλ υιοσ ει δε υιοσ και κληρονομοσ θεου δια χριστου
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτεσ θεον εδουλευσατε τοισ μη φυσει ουσιν θεοισ
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?
νυν δε γνοντεσ θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντεσ υπο θεου πωσ επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οισ παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
ημερασ παρατηρεισθε και μηνασ και καιρουσ και ενιαυτουσ
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
φοβουμαι υμασ μηπωσ εικη κεκοπιακα εισ υμασ
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
γινεσθε ωσ εγω οτι καγω ωσ υμεισ αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν τησ σαρκοσ ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
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.
και τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλ ωσ αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ωσ χριστον ιησουν
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.
τισ ουν ην ο μακαρισμοσ υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τουσ οφθαλμουσ υμων εξορυξαντεσ αν εδωκατε μοι
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
ωστε εχθροσ υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
ζηλουσιν υμασ ου καλωσ αλλα εκκλεισαι υμασ θελουσιν ινα αυτουσ ζηλουτε
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
καλον δε το ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προσ υμασ
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
τεκνια μου ουσ παλιν ωδινω αχρι ου μορφωθη χριστοσ εν υμιν
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
ηθελον δε παρειναι προσ υμασ αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do not you listen to the law?
λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντεσ ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιουσ εσχεν ενα εκ τησ παιδισκησ και ενα εκ τησ ελευθερασ
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
αλλ ο μεν εκ τησ παιδισκησ κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ τησ ελευθερασ δια τησ επαγγελιασ
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορουσ σινα εισ δουλειαν γεννωσα ητισ εστιν αγαρ
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.
το γαρ αγαρ σινα οροσ εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτησ
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητισ εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
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.”
γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα τησ ερημου μαλλον η τησ εχουσησ τον ανδρα
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
ημεισ δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιασ τεκνα εσμεν
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.
αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεισ εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτωσ και νυν
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.”
αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτησ ου γαρ μη κληρονομηση ο υιοσ τησ παιδισκησ μετα του υιου τησ ελευθερασ
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκησ τεκνα αλλα τησ ελευθερασ
