Galatians 4
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; | Dico autem: quanto tempore haeres parvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit dominus omnium: |
| 2 | But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father: | sed sub tutoribus et actoribus est usque ad praefinitum tempus a patre: |
| 3 | So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world. | ita et nos cum essemus parvuli, sub elementis mundi eramus servientes. |
| 4 | But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law: | At ubi venit plenitudo temporis, misit Deus Filium suum factum ex muliere, factum sub lege, |
| 5 | That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons. | ut eos, qui sub lege erant, redimeret, ut adoptionem filiorum reciperemus. |
| 6 | And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. | Quoniam autem estis filii, misit Deus Spiritum Filii sui in corda vestra, clamantem: Abba, Pater. |
| 7 | Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God. | Itaque iam non est servus, sed filius: quod si filius, et haeres per Deum. |
| 8 | But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods. | Sed tunc quidem ignorantes Deum, iis, qui natura non sunt dii, serviebatis. |
| 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? | Nunc autem cum cognoveritis Deum, immo cogniti sitis a Deo: quomodo convertimini iterum ad infirma et egena elementa, quibus denuo servire vultis? |
| 10 | You observe days, and months, and times, and years. | Dies observatis, et menses, et tempora, et annos. |
| 11 | I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you. | Timeo vos, ne forte sine causa laboraverim in vobis. |
| 12 | Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all. | Estote sicut ego, quia et ego sicut vos: fratres, obsecro vos. Nihil me laesistis. |
| 13 | And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh, | Scitis autem quia per infirmitatem carnis evangelizavi vobis iampridem: et tentationem vestram in carne mea |
| 14 | You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. | non sprevistis, neque respuistis: sed sicut angelum Dei excepistis me, sicut Christum Iesum. |
| 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. | Ubi est ergo beatitudo vestra? testimonium enim perhibeo vobis, quia, si fieri posset, oculos vestros eruissetis, et dedissetis mihi. |
| 16 | Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? | Ergo inimicus vobis factus sum, verum dicens vobis? |
| 17 | They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. | Aemulantur vos non bene: sed excludere vos volunt, ut illos aemulemini. |
| 18 | But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you. | Bonum autem aemulamini in bono semper: et non tantum cum praesens sum apud vos. |
| 19 | My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you. | Filioli mei, quos iterum parturio, donec formetur Christus in vobis: |
| 20 | And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you. | vellem autem esse apud vos modo, et mutare vocem meam: quoniam confundor in vobis. |
| 21 | Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law? | Dicite mihi qui sub lege vultis esse: legem non legistis? |
| 22 | For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman. | Scriptum est enim: Quoniam Abraham duos filios habuit: unum de ancilla, et unum de libera. |
| 23 | But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise. | Sed qui de ancilla, secundum carnem natus est: qui autem de libera, per repromissionem: |
| 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: | quae sunt per allegoriam dicta. Haec enim sunt duo testamenta. Unum quidem in monte Sina, in servitutem generans, quae est Agar: |
| 25 | For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. | Sina enim mons est in Arabia, qui coniunctus est ei quae nunc est Ierusalem, et servit cum filiis suis. |
| 26 | But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother. | Illa autem, quae sursum est Ierusalem, libera est, quae est mater nostra. |
| 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. | Scriptum est enim: Laetare, sterilis, quae non paris; erumpe et clama, quae non parturis: quia multi filii desertae, magis quam eius quae habet virum. |
| 28 | Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. | Nos autem, fratres, secundum Isaac promissionis filii sumus. |
| 29 | But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now. | Sed quomodo tunc is, qui secundum carnem natus fuerat, persequebatur eum qui secundum spiritum: ita et nunc. |
| 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. | Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Eiice ancillam, et filium eius: non enim haeres erit filius ancillae cum filio liberae. |
| 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. | Itaque, fratres, non sumus ancillae filii, sed liberae: qua libertate Christus nos liberavit. |
