Galatians 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 I mean that as long as the heir is not of age, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,	1 Λεγω δε, εφ ' οσον χρονον ο κληρονομος ειναι νηπιος, δεν διαφερει δουλου, αν και ηναι κυριος παντων,
2 but he is under the supervision of guardians and administrators until the date set by his father.	2 αλλ' ειναι υπο επιτροπους και οικονομους μεχρι της προθεσμιας υπο του πατρος.
3 In the same way we also, when we were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the world.	3 Ουτω και ημεις, οτε ημεθα νηπιοι, υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεθα δεδουλωμενοι?
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,	4 οτε ομως ηλθε το πληρωμα του χρονου, εξαπεστειλεν ο Θεος τον Υιον αυτου, οστις εγεννηθη εκ γυναικος και υπεταγη εις τον νομον,
5 to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption.	5 δια να εξαγοραση τους υπο νομον, δια να λαβωμεν την υιοθεσιαν.
6 As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"	6 Και επειδη εισθε υιοι, εξαπεστειλεν ο Θεος το Πνευμα του Υιου αυτου εις τας καρδιας σας, το οποιον κραζει? Αββα, ο Πατηρ.
7 So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.	7 Οθεν δεν εισαι πλεον δουλος αλλ' υιος? εαν δε υιος, και κληρονομος του Θεου δια του Χριστου.
8 At a time when you did not know God, you became slaves to things that by nature are not gods;	8 Αλλα τοτε μεν μη γνωριζοντες τον Θεον, εδουλευσατε εις τους μη φυσει οντας Θεους?
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 destitute elemental powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?	9 τωρα δε αφου εγνωρισατε τον Θεον, μαλλον δε εγνωρισθητε υπο του Θεου, πως επιστρεφετε παλιν εις τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια, εις τα οποια παλιν ως προτερον θελετε να δουλευητε;
10 You are observing days, months, seasons, and years.	10 Ημερας παρατηρειτε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους.
11 I am afraid on your account that perhaps I have labored for you in vain.	11 Φοβουμαι δια σας, μηπως ματαιως εκοπιασα εις εσας.
12 I implore you, brothers, be as I am, because I have also become as you are. You did me no wrong;	12 Γινεσθε ως εγω, διοτι και εγω ειμαι καθως σεις, αδελφοι, σας παρακαλω, ουδολως με ηδικησατε?
13 you know that it was because of a physical illness that I originally preached the gospel to you,	13 εξευρετε δε οτι προτερον σας εκηρυξα το ευαγγελιον εν ασθενεια της σαρκος,
14 and you did not show disdain or contempt because of the trial caused you by my physical condition, but rather you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.	14 και δεν εξουθενησατε ουδ' απερριψατε τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου, αλλα με εδεχθητε ως αγγελον Θεου, ως Χριστον Ιησουν.
15 Where now is that blessedness of yours? Indeed, I can testify to you that, if it had been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.	15 Τις λοιπον ητο ο μακαρισμος σας; επειδη μαρτυρω προς εσας οτι ει δυνατον τους οφθαλμους σας ηθελετε εκβαλει και δωσει εις εμε.
16 So now have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?	16 Εχθρος σας εγεινα λοιπον, διοτι σας λεγω την αληθειαν;
17 They show interest in you, but not in a good way; they want to isolate you, so that you may show interest in them.	17 Δεικνυουσι ζηλον προς εσας, ουχι ομως καλον, αλλα θελουσι να σας αποκλεισωσι, δια να εχητε σεις ζηλον προς αυτους.
18 Now it is good to be shown interest for good reason at all times, and not only when I am with you.	18 Καλον δε ειναι να ησθε ζηλωται προς το καλον παντοτε και ουχι μονον οταν ευρισκωμαι μεταξυ σας.
19 My children, for whom I am again in labor until Christ be formed in you!	19 Τεκνια μου, δια τους οποιους παλιν ειμαι εις ωδινας, εωσου μορφωθη ο Χριστος εν υμιν?
20 I would like to be with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed because of you.	20 ηθελον δε να παρευρισκωμαι μεταξυ σας τωρα και να αλλαξω την φωνην μου, διοτι απορω δια σας.
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?	21 Ειπατε μοι οι θελοντες να ησθε υπο νομον? τον νομον δεν ακουετε;
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman.	22 Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον οτι ο Αβρααμ εγεννησε δυο υιους, ενα εκ της δουλης και ενα εκ της ελευθερας.
23 The son of the slave woman was born naturally, the son of the freeborn through a promise.	23 Αλλ' ο μεν εκ της δουλης εγεννηθη κατα σαρκα, ο δε εκ της ελευθερας δια της επαγγελιας?
24 Now this is an allegory. These women represent two covenants. One was from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.	24 Τα οποια ειναι κατα αλληγοριαν? διοτι αυται ειναι αι δυο διαθηκαι, μια μεν απο του ορους Σινα, η γεννωσα προς δουλειαν, ητις ειναι η Αγαρ.
25 Hagar represents Sinai, a mountain in Arabia; it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.	25 Διοτι το Αγαρ ειναι το ορος Σινα εν τη Αραβια, και ταυτιζεται με την σημερινην Ιερουσαλημ, ειναι δε εις δουλειαν μετα των τεκνων αυτης?
26 But the Jerusalem above is freeborn, and she is our mother.	26 η δε ανω Ιερουσαλημ ειναι ελευθερα, ητις ειναι μητηρ παντων ημων.
27 For it is written: "Rejoice, you barren one who bore no children; break forth and shout, you who were not in labor; for more numerous are the children of the deserted one than of her who has a husband."	27 Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ευφρανθητι, στειρα η μη τικτουσα, εκβαλε φωνην και βοησον, η μη ωδινουσα? διοτι τα τεκνα της ερημου ειναι πλειοτερα παρα τα τεκνα της εχουσης τον ανδρα.
28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.	28 ημεις δε, αδελφοι, καθως ο Ισαακ επαγγελιας τεκνα ειμεθα.
29 But just as then the child of the flesh persecuted the child of the spirit, it is the same now.	29 Αλλα καθως τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεις εδιωκε τον κατα πνευμα, ουτω και τωρα.
30 But what does the scripture say? "Drive out the slave woman and her son! For the son of the slave woman shall not share the inheritance with the son" of the freeborn.	30 Αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη; Εκβαλε την δουλην και τον υιον αυτης? διοτι δεν θελει κληρονομησει ο υιος της δουλης μετα του υιου της ελευθερας.
31 Therefore, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman but of the freeborn woman.	31 Λοιπον, αδελφοι, δεν ειμεθα της δουλης τεκνα, αλλα της ελευθερας.
