ΠΡΟΣ ΓΑΛΑΤΑΣ 4

Cap. 4

The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians 4

λέγω δέ, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον χρόνον ὁ κληρονόμος νήπιός ἐστιν, οὐδὲν διαφέρει δούλου κύριος πάντων ὤν, 1

Dico autem: quanto tempore hæres parvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit dominus omnium: 1

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 1

ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ ἐπιτρόπους ἐστὶν καὶ οἰκονόμους ἄχρι τῆς προθεσμίας τοῦ πατρός. 2

sed sub tutoribus et actoribus est usque ad præfinitum tempus a patre: 2

But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 2

οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς, ὅτε ἦμεν νήπιοι, ὑπὸ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου ἤμεθα δεδουλωμένοι· 3

ita et nos cum essemus parvuli, sub elementis mundi eramus servientes. 3

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 3

ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου, ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός, γενόμενον ὑπὸ νόμον, 4

At ubi venit plenitudo temporis, misit Deus Filium suum factum ex muliere, factum sub lege, 4

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 4

ἵνα τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον ἐξαγοράσῃ, ἵνα τὴν υἱοθεσίαν ἀπολάβωμεν. 5

ut eos, qui sub lege erant, redimeret, ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus. 5

To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 5

ὅτι δέ ἐστε υἱοί, ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς καρδίας ἡμῶν, κρᾶζον, αββα ὁ πατήρ. 6

Quoniam autem estis filii, misit Deus Spiritum Filii sui in corda vestra, clamantem: Abba, Pater. 6

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 6

ὥστε οὐκέτι εἶ δοῦλος ἀλλὰ υἱός· εἰ δὲ υἱός, καὶ κληρονόμος διὰ θεοῦ. 7

Itaque jam non est servus, sed filius: quod si filius, et hæres per Deum. 7

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 7

ἀλλὰ τότε μὲν οὐκ εἰδότες θεὸν ἐδουλεύσατε τοῖς φύσει μὴ οὗσιν θεοῖς· 8

Sed tunc quidem ignorantes Deum, iis, qui natura non sunt dii, serviebatis. 8

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 8

νῦν δὲ γνόντες θεόν, μᾶλλον δὲ γνωσθέντες ὑπὸ θεοῦ, πῶς ἐπιστρέφετε πάλιν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ καὶ πτωχὰ στοιχεῖα, οἷς πάλιν ἄνωθεν δουλεύειν θέλετε; 9

Nunc autem cum cognoveritis Deum, immo cogniti sitis a Deo: quomodo convertimini iterum ad infirma et egena elementa, quibus denuo servire vultis? 9

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 9

ἡμέρας παρατηρεῖσθε καὶ μῆνας καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἐνιαυτούς. 10

Dies observatis, et menses, et tempora, et annos. 10

Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 10

φοβοῦμαι ὑμᾶς μή πως εἰκῇ κεκοπίακα εἰς ὑμᾶς. 11

Timeo vos, ne forte sine causa laboraverim in vobis. 11

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 11

γίνεσθε ὡς ἐγώ, ὅτι κἀγὼ ὡς ὑμεῖς, ἀδελφοί, δέομαι ὑμῶν. οὐδέν με ἠδικήσατε· 12

Estote sicut ego, quia et ego sicut vos: fratres, obsecro vos. Nihil me læsistis. 12

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 12

οἴδατε δὲ ὅτι δι᾽ ἀσθένειαν τῆς σαρκὸς εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν τὸ πρότερον, 13

Scitis autem quia per infirmitatem carnis evangelizavi vobis jampridem: et tentationem vestram in carne mea 13

Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 13

καὶ τὸν πειρασμὸν ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου οὐκ ἐξουθενήσατε οὐδὲ ἐξεπτύσατε, ἀλλὰ ὡς ἄγγελον θεοῦ ἐδέξασθέ με, ὡς χριστὸν ἰησοῦν. 14

non sprevistis, neque respuistis: sed sicut angelum Dei excepistis me, sicut Christum Jesum. 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. 14

ποῦ οὗν ὁ μακαρισμὸς ὑμῶν; μαρτυρῶ γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι εἰ δυνατὸν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν ἐξορύξαντες ἐδώκατέ μοι. 15

Ubi est ergo beatitudo vestra? testimonium enim perhibeo vobis, quia, si fieri posset, oculos vestros eruissetis, et dedissetis mihi. 15

Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 15

ὥστε ἐχθρὸς ὑμῶν γέγονα ἀληθεύων ὑμῖν; 16

Ergo inimicus vobis factus sum, verum dicens vobis? 16

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 16

ζηλοῦσιν ὑμᾶς οὐ καλῶς, ἀλλὰ ἐκκλεῖσαι ὑμᾶς θέλουσιν, ἵνα αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε. 17

Æmulantur vos non bene: sed excludere vos volunt, ut illos æmulemini. 17

They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 17

καλὸν δὲ ζηλοῦσθαι ἐν καλῶ πάντοτε, καὶ μὴ μόνον ἐν τῶ παρεῖναί με πρὸς ὑμᾶς, 18

Bonum autem æmulamini in bono semper: et non tantum cum præsens sum apud vos. 18

But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 18

τέκνα μου, οὓς πάλιν ὠδίνω μέχρις οὖ μορφωθῇ χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν· 19

Filioli mei, quos iterum parturio, donec formetur Christus in vobis: 19

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 19

ἤθελον δὲ παρεῖναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἄρτι, καὶ ἀλλάξαι τὴν φωνήν μου, ὅτι ἀποροῦμαι ἐν ὑμῖν. 20

vellem autem esse apud vos modo, et mutare vocem meam: quoniam confundor in vobis. 20

I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. 20

λέγετέ μοι, οἱ ὑπὸ νόμον θέλοντες εἶναι, τὸν νόμον οὐκ ἀκούετε; 21

Dicite mihi qui sub lege vultis esse: legem non legistis? 21

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 21

γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι ἀβραὰμ δύο υἱοὺς ἔσχεν, ἕνα ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης καὶ ἕνα ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας. 22

Scriptum est enim: Quoniam Abraham duos filios habuit: unum de ancilla, et unum de libera. 22

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 22

ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μὲν ἐκ τῆς παιδίσκης κατὰ σάρκα γεγέννηται, ὁ δὲ ἐκ τῆς ἐλευθέρας δι᾽ ἐπαγγελίας. 23

Sed qui de ancilla, secundum carnem natus est: qui autem de libera, per repromissionem: 23

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 23

ἅτινά ἐστιν ἀλληγορούμενα· αὖται γάρ εἰσιν δύο διαθῆκαι, μία μὲν ἀπὸ ὄρους σινᾶ, εἰς δουλείαν γεννῶσα, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἁγάρ. 24

quæ sunt per allegoriam dicta. Hæc enim sunt duo testamenta. Unum quidem in monte Sina, in servitutem generans, quæ est Agar: 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. 24

τὸ δὲ ἁγὰρ σινᾶ ὄρος ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ ἀραβίᾳ, συστοιχεῖ δὲ τῇ νῦν ἰερουσαλήμ, δουλεύει γὰρ μετὰ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς. 25

Sina enim mons est in Arabia, qui conjunctus est ei quæ nunc est Jerusalem, et servit cum filiis suis. 25

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 25

ἡ δὲ ἄνω ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐλευθέρα ἐστίν, ἥτις ἐστὶν μήτηρ ἡμῶν· 26

Illa autem, quæ sursum est Jerusalem, libera est, quæ est mater nostra. 26

But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 26

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. 27

Scriptum est enim:Lætare sterilis, quæ non paris;erumpe et clama, quæ non parturis:quia multi filii desertæ,magis quam ejus quæ habet virum. 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 which hath an husband. 27

ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, κατὰ ἰσαὰκ ἐπαγγελίας τέκνα ἐστέ. 28

Nos autem, fratres, secundum Isaac promissionis filii sumus. 28

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 28

ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ τότε ὁ κατὰ σάρκα γεννηθεὶς ἐδίωκεν τὸν κατὰ πνεῦμα, οὕτως καὶ νῦν. 29

Sed quomodo tunc is, qui secundum carnem natus fuerat, persequebatur eum qui secundum spiritum: ita et nunc. 29

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 29

ἀλλὰ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή; ἔκβαλε τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, οὐ γὰρ μὴ κληρονομήσει ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἐλευθέρας. 30

Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Ejice ancillam, et filium ejus: non enim hæres erit filius ancillæ cum filio liberæ. 30

Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 30

διό, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐσμὲν παιδίσκης τέκνα ἀλλὰ τῆς ἐλευθέρας. 31

Itaque, fratres, non sumus ancillæ filii, sed liberæ: qua libertate Christus nos liberavit. 31

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. 31
