1λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομοσ νηπιοσ εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριοσ παντων ων
1Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2αλλα υπο επιτροπουσ εστιν και οικονομουσ αχρι τησ προθεσμιασ του πατροσ
2But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:
3ουτωσ και ημεισ οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
3So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.
4οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικοσ γενομενον υπο νομον
4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
5ινα τουσ υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
5That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
6And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
7ωστε ουκετι ει δουλοσ αλλ υιοσ ει δε υιοσ και κληρονομοσ θεου δια χριστου
7Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.
8αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτεσ θεον εδουλευσατε τοισ μη φυσει ουσιν θεοισ
8But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.
9νυν δε γνοντεσ θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντεσ υπο θεου πωσ επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οισ παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
9But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?
10ημερασ παρατηρεισθε και μηνασ και καιρουσ και ενιαυτουσ
10You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11φοβουμαι υμασ μηπωσ εικη κεκοπιακα εισ υμασ
11I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.
12γινεσθε ωσ εγω οτι καγω ωσ υμεισ αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
12Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.
13οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν τησ σαρκοσ ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
13And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,
14και τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλ ωσ αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ωσ χριστον ιησουν
14You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15τισ ουν ην ο μακαρισμοσ υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τουσ οφθαλμουσ υμων εξορυξαντεσ αν εδωκατε μοι
15Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.
16ωστε εχθροσ υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
16Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17ζηλουσιν υμασ ου καλωσ αλλα εκκλεισαι υμασ θελουσιν ινα αυτουσ ζηλουτε
17They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.
18καλον δε το ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προσ υμασ
18But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.
19τεκνια μου ουσ παλιν ωδινω αχρι ου μορφωθη χριστοσ εν υμιν
19My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
20ηθελον δε παρειναι προσ υμασ αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
20And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.
21λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντεσ ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?
22γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιουσ εσχεν ενα εκ τησ παιδισκησ και ενα εκ τησ ελευθερασ
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.
23αλλ ο μεν εκ τησ παιδισκησ κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ τησ ελευθερασ δια τησ επαγγελιασ
23But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.
24ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορουσ σινα εισ δουλειαν γεννωσα ητισ εστιν αγαρ
24Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:
25το γαρ αγαρ σινα οροσ εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτησ
25For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητισ εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
26But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.
27γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα τησ ερημου μαλλον η τησ εχουσησ τον ανδρα
27For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.
28ημεισ δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιασ τεκνα εσμεν
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεισ εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτωσ και νυν
29But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
30αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτησ ου γαρ μη κληρονομηση ο υιοσ τησ παιδισκησ μετα του υιου τησ ελευθερασ
30But 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 free woman.
31αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκησ τεκνα αλλα τησ ελευθερασ
31So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.
