Galatians 4

VUL

ESV

1 dico autem quanto tempore heres parvulus est nihil differt servo cum sit dominus omnium
1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,
2 sed sub tutoribus est et actoribus usque ad praefinitum tempus a patre
2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.
3 ita et nos cum essemus parvuli sub elementis mundi eramus servientes
3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
4 at ubi venit plenitudo temporis misit Deus Filium suum factum ex muliere factum sub lege
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
5 ut eos qui sub lege erant redimeret ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus
5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
6 quoniam autem estis filii misit Deus Spiritum Filii sui in corda nostra clamantem Abba Pater
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father! ”
7 itaque iam non es servus sed filius quod si filius et heres per Deum
7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
8 sed tunc quidem ignorantes Deum his qui natura non sunt dii serviebatis
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.
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 that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
10 dies observatis et menses et tempora et annos
10 You observe days and months and seasons and years!
11 timeo vos ne forte sine causa laboraverim in vobis
11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.
12 estote sicut et ego quia et ego sicut vos fratres obsecro vos nihil me laesistis
12 Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.
13 scitis autem quia per infirmitatem carnis evangelizavi vobis iam pridem
13 You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,
14 et temptationem vestram in carne mea non sprevistis neque respuistis sed sicut angelum Dei excepistis me sicut Christum Iesum
14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
15 ubi est ergo beatitudo vestra testimonium enim perhibeo vobis quia si fieri posset oculos vestros eruissetis et dedissetis mihi
15 What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me.
16 ergo inimicus vobis factus sum verum dicens vobis
16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 aemulantur vos non bene sed excludere vos volunt ut illos aemulemini
17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.
18 bonum autem aemulamini in bono semper et non tantum cum praesens sum apud vos
18 It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you,
19 filioli mei quos iterum parturio donec formetur Christus in vobis
19 my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
20 vellem autem esse apud vos modo et mutare vocem meam quoniam confundor in vobis
20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 dicite mihi qui sub lege vultis esse legem non legistis
21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
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, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman.
23 sed qui de ancilla secundum carnem natus est qui autem de libera per repromissionem
23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise.
24 quae sunt per allegoriam dicta haec enim sunt duo testamenta unum quidem a monte Sina in servitutem generans quae est Agar
24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.
25 Sina enim mons est in Arabia qui coniunctus est ei quae nunc est Hierusalem et servit cum filiis eius
25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 illa autem quae sursum est Hierusalem libera est quae est mater nostra
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
27 scriptum est enim laetare sterilis quae non paris erumpe et exclama quae non parturis quia multi filii desertae magis quam eius quae habet virum
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband. ”
28 nos autem fratres secundum Isaac promissionis filii sumus
28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
29 sed quomodo tunc qui secundum carnem natus fuerat persequebatur eum qui secundum spiritum ita et nunc
29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30 sed quid dicit scriptura eice ancillam et filium eius non enim heres erit filius ancillae cum filio liberae
30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. ”
31 itaque fratres non sumus ancillae filii sed liberae qua libertate nos Christus liberavit
31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
