Galatians 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;	1 Λεγω δε, εφ ' οσον χρονον ο κληρονομος ειναι νηπιος, δεν διαφερει δουλου, αν και ηναι κυριος παντων,
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:	2 αλλ' ειναι υπο επιτροπους και οικονομους μεχρι της προθεσμιας υπο του πατρος.
3 So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.	3 Ουτω και ημεις, οτε ημεθα νηπιοι, υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεθα δεδουλωμενοι?
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made 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 That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.	5 δια να εξαγοραση τους υπο νομον, δια να λαβωμεν την υιοθεσιαν.
6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: 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 Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.	7 Οθεν δεν εισαι πλεον δουλος αλλ' υιος? εαν δε υιος, και κληρονομος του Θεου δια του Χριστου.
8 But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.	8 Αλλα τοτε μεν μη γνωριζοντες τον Θεον, εδουλευσατε εις τους μη φυσει οντας Θεους?
9 But 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?	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 observe days, and months, and times, and years.	10 Ημερας παρατηρειτε και μηνας και καιρους και ενιαυτους.
11 I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.	11 Φοβουμαι δια σας, μηπως ματαιως εκοπιασα εις εσας.
12 Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.	12 Γινεσθε ως εγω, διοτι και εγω ειμαι καθως σεις, αδελφοι, σας παρακαλω, ουδολως με ηδικησατε?
13 And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,	13 εξευρετε δε οτι προτερον σας εκηρυξα το ευαγγελιον εν ασθενεια της σαρκος,
14 You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even 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 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.	15 Τις λοιπον ητο ο μακαρισμος σας; επειδη μαρτυρω προς εσας οτι ει δυνατον τους οφθαλμους σας ηθελετε εκβαλει και δωσει εις εμε.
16 Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?	16 Εχθρος σας εγεινα λοιπον, διοτι σας λεγω την αληθειαν;
17 They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.	17 Δεικνυουσι ζηλον προς εσας, ουχι ομως καλον, αλλα θελουσι να σας αποκλεισωσι, δια να εχητε σεις ζηλον προς αυτους.
18 But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.	18 Καλον δε ειναι να ησθε ζηλωται προς το καλον παντοτε και ουχι μονον οταν ευρισκωμαι μεταξυ σας.
19 My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.	19 Τεκνια μου, δια τους οποιους παλιν ειμαι εις ωδινας, εωσου μορφωθη ο Χριστος εν υμιν?
20 And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.	20 ηθελον δε να παρευρισκωμαι μεταξυ σας τωρα και να αλλαξω την φωνην μου, διοτι απορω δια σας.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read 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: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.	22 Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον οτι ο Αβρααμ εγεννησε δυο υιους, ενα εκ της δουλης και ενα εκ της ελευθερας.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.	23 Αλλ' ο μεν εκ της δουλης εγεννηθη κατα σαρκα, ο δε εκ της ελευθερας δια της επαγγελιας?
24 Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:	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 For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage 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 that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.	26 η δε ανω Ιερουσαλημ ειναι ελευθερα, ητις ειναι μητηρ παντων ημων.
27 For 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.	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 we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.	28 ημεις δε, αδελφοι, καθως ο Ισαακ επαγγελιας τεκνα ειμεθα.
29 But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.	29 Αλλα καθως τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεις εδιωκε τον κατα πνευμα, ουτω και τωρα.
30 But 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.	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 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.	31 Λοιπον, αδελφοι, δεν ειμεθα της δουλης τεκνα, αλλα της ελευθερας.
