Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?
1無知的 加拉太 人哪，耶穌基督釘十字架，已經活畫在你們眼前，誰又迷惑了你們呢？
2This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
2我只要問你們這一件：你們受了 聖 靈，是因行律法呢？是因聽信 福音 呢？
3Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
3你們既靠 聖 靈入門，如今還靠肉身成全嗎？你們是這樣的無知嗎？
4Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
4你們受苦如此之多，都是徒然的嗎？難道果真是徒然的嗎？
5He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?
5那賜給你們 聖 靈，又在你們中間行異能的，是因你們行律法呢？是因你們聽信 福音 呢？
6As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
6正如「 亞伯拉罕 信上帝，這就算為他的義」。
7Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
7所以，你們要知道：那以信為本的人，就是 亞伯拉罕 的子孫。
8And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
8並且聖經既然預先看明，上帝要叫外邦人因信稱義，就早已傳福音給 亞伯拉罕 ， 說 ：「萬國都必因你得福。」
9Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
9可見那以信為本的人和有信心的 亞伯拉罕 一同得福。
10For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.
10凡以行律法為本的，都是被咒詛的；因為 經上 記着：「凡不常照律法書上所記一切之事去行的，就被咒詛。」
11But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
11沒有一個人靠着律法在上帝面前稱義，這是明顯的；因為 經上 說：「義人必因信得生。」
12But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
12律法原不本乎信，只 說 ：「行這些事的，就必因此活着。」
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
13基督既為我們受了咒詛，就贖出我們脫離律法的咒詛；因為 經上 記着：「凡掛在木頭上都是被咒詛的。」
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
14這便叫 亞伯拉罕 的福，因基督耶穌可以臨到外邦人，使我們因信得着所應許的 聖 靈。
15Brethren (I speak after the manner of man,) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
15弟兄們，我且照着人的常話說：雖然是人的文約，若已經立定了，就沒有能廢棄或加增的。
16To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
16所應許的原是向 亞伯拉罕 和他子孫說的。上帝並不是說「眾子孫」，指着許多人，乃是說「你那一個子孫」，指着一個人，就是基督。
17Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.
17我是這麼說，上帝預先所立的約，不能被那四百三十年以後的律法廢掉，叫應許歸於虛空。
18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
18因為承受產業，若本乎律法，就不本乎應許；但上帝是憑着應許把產業賜給 亞伯拉罕 。
19Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
19這樣說來，律法是為甚麼有的呢？原是為過犯添上的，等候那蒙應許的子孫來到，並且是藉天使經中保之手設立的。
20Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
20但中保本不是為一面作的；上帝卻是一位。
21Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.
21這樣，律法是與上帝的應許反對嗎？斷乎不是！若曾傳一個能叫人得生的律法，義就誠然本乎律法了。
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
22但聖經把眾人都圈在罪裏，使所應許的 福 因信耶穌基督，歸給那信的人。
23But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
23但這 因 信 得救的理 還未來以先，我們被看守在律法之下，直圈到那將來的真道顯明出來。
24Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
24這樣，律法是我們訓蒙的師傅， 引我們 到基督那裏，使我們因信稱義。
25But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
25但這 因 信 得救的理 既然來到，我們從此就不在師傅的手下了。
26For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
26所以，你們因信基督耶穌都是上帝的兒子。
27For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
27你們受洗歸入基督的都是披戴基督了。
28There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
28並不分 猶太 人、 希臘 人，自主的、為奴的，或男或女，因為你們在基督耶穌裏都成為一了。
29And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
29你們既屬乎基督，就是 亞伯拉罕 的後裔，是照着應許承受產業的了。
