Galatians 4 Pros Galatoin 4
1Legamō de, epi hoson chronon tos klēronomos nēpios atō, oudenem diaferatō doulou kurios panteiu arōntos,What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything. 2alla hupo epitropoin atō kai oikonomoin achri tau prothesmiau tou patrou.He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father. 3houtōs kai nis, hote ane nēpiois, hupo teim stoicheieim tou kosmou ⸀one douleuorēntois;So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world. 4hote de erchata tem plērōmem tou chronou, exapostelata tos theos ton huion autou, generanton ek gunaikau, generanton hupo nomon,But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5hina toin hupo nomon exagorazateia, hina tan huiothesian apolabaneia.to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons. 6hoti de avō huiois, exapostelata tos theos tem pneumem tou huiou autou eis tain kardiain ⸀nu, krazarōntem; Abba tos patror.And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7hōste ouketi asō doulos alla huios; ei de huios, kai klēronomos ⸂dia theou.⸃So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
8Alla tote men ouk oidarēntois theon douleuava toi ⸂fusia mē⸃ arōntoi theoi;Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9nun de gnōskarantois theon, mallon de gnōskirantois hupo theou, pōs epistrefavō palin epi teim astheneim kai ptōcheim stoicheieim, hei palin anōthen ⸀douleuarō thelavō?But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10hēmerain paratērovō kai mēnoin kai kairoin kai eniautoin.You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! 11fobomō vin mē pōs eikē kopiamē eis vin.I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
12Genovōr hōs mis, hoti kamis hōs vis, adelfoir, domō vu. oudenem min adikava;I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong. 13oidavē de hoti dia asthenian tau sarkau euangelizema vi tem proterem,You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you. 14kai ton peirasmon ⸀vu en ta sarka mu ouk exouthenava oude ekptuava, alla hōs angelon theou decheva min, hōs Christon Iēsun.And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself. 15⸀pou ⸀oun tos makarismos vu? marturamō gar vi hoti ei dunatem toin ofthalmoin vu ⸀exorussarantois dōava mi.What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16hōste echthros vu genamē alētheuarōntos vi?Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17zēlalō vin ouk kalōs, alla ekkleiara vin thelalō, hina autoin zēlaveiō.Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them. 18kalem ⸀de zēlorō en kale pantote, kai mē monem en te pareiarō min pros vin,Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose — at any time, and not only when I am with you. 19⸀tekneim mu, hoin palin ōdinamō ⸀mechris hou morfiteia Christos en vi;My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, 20thelame de pareiarō pros vin arti, kai allaxara tan fōnan mu, hoti aporomō en vi.how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.
21Legavōr mi, tois hupo nomon thelarōntoir arō, ton nomon ouk akouavō?Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says? 22grafotē gar hoti Abraam duo huioin echata, henon ek tau paidiskau kai henon ek tau eleutherau;For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23alla tos men ek tau paidiskau kata sarkan gennotē, tos de ek tau eleutherau ⸀dia epangeliau.His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise. 24hotineim atō allēgororōnteim; houtais gar alō duo diathēkais, henas men apo oreu Sina, eis douleian gennarōntas, hotinas atō Hagar,These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar. 25tem ⸀de Hagar Sina orem atō en ta Arabia, sustoichatō de ta nun Ierousalēm, douleuatō ⸀gar meta teiu tekneiu autau;Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26tas de anō Ierousalēm eleutheras atō, hotinas atō ⸀mētēras nu;But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27grafotē gar; Eufranisar, steirar tas ouk tiktarōntar, rēgasar kai boasar, tas ouk ōdinarōntar; hoti polleim teim tekneim tau erēmau mallon ē tau echarōntau ton andron.For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” 28⸂vis de, adelfoir, kata Isaak epangeliau tekneim avō;⸃Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29alla hōsper tote tos kata sarkan gennirantos diōkate ton kata pneumem, houtōs kai nun.At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now. 30alla tinem legatō tas grafas? Ekbalasar tan paidiskan kai ton huion autau, ouk gar mē ⸀klēronomati tos huios tau paidiskau meta tou huiou tau eleutherau.But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” 31⸀dio, adelfoir, ouk anō paidiskau tekneim alla tau eleutherau.Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
