Galatas 3
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1O insensati Galatæ, quis vos fascinavit non obedire veritati, ante quorum oculos Jesus Christus præscriptus est, in vobis crucifixus?
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?
2Hoc solum a vobis volo discere: ex operibus legis Spiritum accepistis, an ex auditu fidei?
2This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3sic stulti estis, ut cum Spiritu cœperitis, nunc carne consummemini?
3Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?
4tanta passi estis sine causa? si tamen sine causa.
4Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.
5Qui ergo tribuit vobis Spiritum, et operatur virtutes in vobis: ex operibus legis, an ex auditu fidei?
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?
6Sicut scriptum est: Abraham credidit Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam:
6As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7cognoscite ergo quia qui ex fide sunt, ii sunt filii Abrahæ.
7Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8Providens autem Scriptura quia ex fide justificat gentes Deus, prænuntiavit Abrahæ: Quia benedicentur in te omnes gentes.
8And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9Igitur qui ex fide sunt, benedicentur cum fideli Abraham.
9Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.
10Quicumque enim ex operibus legis sunt, sub maledicto sunt. Scriptum est enim: Maledictus omnis qui non permanserit in omnibus quæ scripta sunt in libro legis ut faciat ea.
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.
11Quoniam autem in lege nemo justificatur apud Deum, manifestum est: quia justus ex fide vivit.
11But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.
12Lex autem non est ex fide, sed: Qui fecerit ea, vivet in illis.
12But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.
13Christus nos redemit de maledicto legis, factus pro nobis maledictum: quia scriptum est: Maledictus omnis qui pendet in ligno:
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:
14ut in gentibus benedictio Abrahæ fieret in Christo Jesu, ut pollicitationem Spiritus accipiamus per fidem.
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
15Fratres (secundum hominem dico) tamen hominis confirmatum testamentum nemo spernit, aut superordinat.
15Brethren (I speak after the manner of man,) yet a man’s testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.
16Abrahæ dictæ sunt promissiones, et semini ejus. Non dicit: Et seminibus, quasi in multis: sed quasi in uno: Et semini tuo, qui est Christus.
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.
17Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.
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.
18Nam si ex lege hæreditas, jam non ex promissione. Abrahæ autem per repromissionem donavit Deus.
18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19Quid igitur lex? Propter transgressiones posita est donec veniret semen, cui promiserat, ordinata per angelos in manu mediatoris.
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.
20Mediator autem unius non est: Deus autem unus est.
20Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.
21Lex ergo adversus promissa Dei? Absit. Si enim data esset lex, quæ posset vivificare, vere ex lege esset justitia.
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.
22Sed conclusit Scriptura omnia sub peccato, ut promissio ex fide Jesu Christi daretur credentibus.
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
23Prius autem quam veniret fides, sub lege custodiebamur conclusi in eam fidem quæ revelanda erat.
23But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
24Itaque lex pædagogus noster fuit in Christo, ut ex fide justificemur.
24Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub pædagogo.
25But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.
26Omnes enim filii Dei estis per fidem, quæ est in Christo Jesu.
26For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.
27Quicumque enim in Christo baptizati estis, Christum induistis.
27For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.
28Non est Judæus, neque Græcus: non est servus, neque liber: non est masculus, neque femina. Omnes enim vos unum estis in Christo Jesu.
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.
29Si autem vos Christi, ergo semen Abrahæ estis, secundum promissionem hæredes.
29And if you be Christ’s, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
