Galatians

Chapter 4

1 NOW this I say, That the heir as long as he is young, cannot be distinguished from the servants, though he is the lord of them all.

2 But he is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by his father.

3 Even so we, when we were young, were subject to the principles of this world:

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son who, born of a woman, became subject to the law,

5 To redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying, Abba, Avon,ö O Father, our Father.

7 From now on you are not servants but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God through Jesus Christ.

8 Howbeit then, when you did not know God, you served those things which from their nature were not gods.

9 But now after you have known God, and, above all, are known of God, you turn again to those weak and poor principles, and you wish again to come under their bondage.

10 You still observe days and months and times and years.

11 I am afraid that perhaps I have labored among you in vain.

12 My brethren, I beseech you, put yourself in my place; just as once I put myself in your place: You have not offended me at all.

13 You know that I was sick and weak when I preached the gospel to you at the first.

14 And yet you did not despise me, nor reject me on account of my weakness; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Jesus Christ.

15 Where is then the blessedness you had? for I can testify concerning you, that if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and have given them to me.

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

17 These men do not envy you for good, but they would dominate you, so that you might envy them.

18 But it is good that you should always envy after good things, and not only when I am present with you.

19 My little children, for whom I am in travail again, until Christ be a reality in you,

20 I wish I could be with you now, and could change the tone of my voice; because I am deeply concerned about you.

21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a bondmaid, and one by a freewoman.

23 But he who was born of the bondmaid was born after the flesh; but he who was born of the freewoman was born by promise.

24 Now these things are a symbol of the two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, give girls birth to bondage, which is Hagar.

25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and surrenders to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and is the mother of us all.

27 For as it is written, Make merry, O you barren who bear not; rejoice and cry, O you who travail not; for the children of the forsaken are more numerous than the children of the one who is favored.

28 Now we, my brethren, are the children of promise, as was Isaac.

29 But as then he who was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what does the scripture say? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the maidservant shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then, my brethren, we are not children of the maidservant but children of the freewoman.

Der Brief des Paulus an die Galater

Kapitel 4

1 Ich sage3004 aber1161, solange5550 der Erbe2818 ein Kind3516 ist2076, so ist5607 unter ihm1308 und einem3956 Knechte1401 kein3762 Unterschied, ob er wohl ein Herr2962 ist aller Güter,

2 sondern235 er ist2076 unter den Vormündern2012 und2532 Pflegern3623 bis891 auf die bestimmte Zeit4287 vom5259 Vater3962.

3 Also3779 auch2532 wir2249, da3753 wir3516 Kinder waren2258, waren2258 wir gefangen1402 unter5259 den äußerlichen Satzungen4747.

4 Da3753 aber1161 die Zeit5550 erfüllet4138 ward2064, sandte1821 GOtt2316 seinen Sohn, geboren1096 von1537 einem Weibe1135 und unter5259 das Gesetz3551 getan,

5 auf daß2443 er die, so unter5259 dem Gesetz3551 waren, erlösete, daß2443 wir die Kindschaft5206 empfingen618.

6 Weil3754 ihr2075 denn1161 Kinder seid, hat1821 GOtt2316 gesandt den Geist4151 seines Sohnes in1519 eure5216 Herzen2588, der schreiet: Abba5, lieber Vater3962!

7 Also ist nun3765 hier1488 kein1487 Knecht1401 mehr, sondern235 eitel Kinder. Sind‘s aber1161 Kinder, so5620 sind‘s auch2532 Erben2818 Gottes2316 durch1223 Christum5547.

8 Aber235 zu der Zeit, da ihr1492 GOtt2316 nicht3756 erkanntet, dientet ihr1398 denen, die von3303 Natur5449 nicht3361 Götter2316 sind5607.

9 Nun3568 ihr aber1161 GOtt2316 erkannt1097 habt, ja vielmehr3123 von5259 GOtt2316 erkannt1097 seid, wie4459 wendet ihr euch denn2532 um wieder1994 zu den3739 schwachen772 und1161 dürftigen4434 Satzungen4747, welchen ihr von neuem509 an1909 dienen1398 wollt2309?

10 Ihr haltet3906 Tage2250 und2532 Monden und2532 Feste2540 und2532 Jahrzeiten.

11 Ich fürchte5399 für1519 euch5209, daß ich nicht vielleicht4458 umsonst1500 habe2872 an euch5209 gearbeitet2872.

12 Seid1096 doch wie5613 ich1473, denn3754 ich2504 bin wie5613 ihr5210. Liebe Brüder80, ich bitte1189 euch5216, ihr habt mir3165 kein3762 Leid91 getan.

13 Denn1161 ihr wisset, daß3754 ich euch5213 in1223 Schwachheit769 nach dem Fleisch4561 das1492 Evangelium2097 geprediget habe zum erstenmal4386.

14 Und2532 meine3450 Anfechtungen3986, die3450 ich3165 leide nach dem Fleisch4561, habt ihr nicht3756 verachtet1848 noch3761 verschmähet, sondern235 als5613 einen Engel32 Gottes2316 nahmet1209 ihr mich1722 auf, ja als5613 Christum5547 JEsum2424.

15 Wie5101 waret ihr3140 dazumal so3767 selig3108! Ich bin euer5216 Zeuge3140, daß3754, wenn1487 es möglich1415 gewesen2258 wäre, ihr5213 hättet1846 eure5216 Augen3788 ausgerissen und1063 mir3427 gegeben1325.

16 Bin1096 ich5213 denn also euer Feind2190 worden, daß5620 ich euch5216 die Wahrheit226 vorhalte?

17 Sie eifern2206 um euch5209 nicht3756 fein2573, sondern235 sie wollen2309 euch5209 von mir abfällig1576 machen, daß2443 ihr846 um sie sollt eifern2206.

18 Eifern2206 ist2532 gut2570, wenn‘s immerdar3842 geschiehet um1722 das Gute2570 und1161 nicht3361 allein3440, wenn ich3165 gegenwärtig3918 bei1722 euch5209 bin.

19 Meine3450 lieben Kinder5040, welche3739 ich abermal mit Ängsten gebäre5605, bis891 daß Christus5547 in1722 euch5213 eine Gestalt3445 gewinne.

20 Ich wollte2309 aber1161, daß3754 ich jetzt737 bei1722 euch5209 wäre3918, und2532 meine3450 Stimme5456 wandeln könnte236, denn ich bin irre639 an4314 euch5213.

21 Saget mir3427, die ihr3004 unter5259 dem Gesetz3551 sein1511 wollt2309: Habt191 ihr191 das Gesetz3551 nicht3756 gehöret?

22 Denn1063 es stehet geschrieben1125, daß3754 Abraham11 zween Söhne hatte2192, einen von1537 der1520 Magd, den andern von1537 der Freien1658.

23 Aber235 der von1537 der Magd3814 war, ist3303 nach2596 dem Fleisch4561 geboren; der aber1161 von1537 der Freien1658, ist1080 durch1223 die Verheißung1860 geboren.

24 Die3748 Worte bedeuten2076 etwas238. Denn1063 das3778 sind1526 die3748 zwei1417 Testamente1242, eines von3303 dem575 Berge3735 Sinai4614, das zur1519 Knechtschaft1397 gebieret, welches ist2076 die Hagar28.

25 Denn1063 Hagar28 heißet in1722 Arabien688 der Berg3735 Sinai4614 und1161 langet bis gen Jerusalem2419, das3588 zu dieser3568 Zeit ist2076, und1161 ist1398 dienstbar mit3326 seinen Kindern5043.

26 Aber1161 das3956 Jerusalem2419, das droben507 ist2076, das ist2076 die3748 Freie1658, die ist unser2257 aller Mutter3384.

27 Denn1063 es stehet geschrieben1125: Sei fröhlich2165, du Unfruchtbare4723, die du nicht3756 gebierest, und2532 brich hervor4486 und rufe994, die du nicht3756 schwanger5088 bist5605! Denn3754 die Einsame2048 hat2192 viel4183 mehr Kinder5043, denn2228 die den Mann435 hat.

28 Wir2249 aber1161, liebe Brüder80, sind2070 Isaak2464 nach2596 der2596 Verheißung1860 Kinder5043.

29 Aber235 gleichwie5618 zu der Zeit5119, der nach2596 dem Fleisch4561 geboren war1080, verfolgete den, der nach2596 dem Geist4151 geboren war, also3779 gehet es jetzt3568 auch2532.

30 Aber235 was5101 spricht3004 die Schrift1124? Stoß1544 die Magd3814 hinaus mit3326 ihrem Sohn! Denn2532 der Magd3814 Sohn soll nicht3364 erben2816 mit dem846 Sohn der Freien1658.

31 So686 sind2070 wir nun, liebe Brüder80, nicht3756 der Magd3814 Kinder5043, sondern235 der Freien1658.

Der Brief des Paulus an die Galater

Kapitel 4

1 NOW this I say, That the heir as long as he is young, cannot be distinguished from the servants, though he is the lord of them all.

1 Ich sage3004 aber1161, solange5550 der Erbe2818 ein Kind3516 ist2076, so ist5607 unter ihm1308 und einem3956 Knechte1401 kein3762 Unterschied, ob er wohl ein Herr2962 ist aller Güter,

2 But he is under guardians and stewards, until the time appointed by his father.

2 sondern235 er ist2076 unter den Vormündern2012 und2532 Pflegern3623 bis891 auf die bestimmte Zeit4287 vom5259 Vater3962.

3 Even so we, when we were young, were subject to the principles of this world:

3 Also3779 auch2532 wir2249, da3753 wir3516 Kinder waren2258, waren2258 wir gefangen1402 unter5259 den äußerlichen Satzungen4747.

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son who, born of a woman, became subject to the law,

4 Da3753 aber1161 die Zeit5550 erfüllet4138 ward2064, sandte1821 GOtt2316 seinen Sohn, geboren1096 von1537 einem Weibe1135 und unter5259 das Gesetz3551 getan,

5 To redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

5 auf daß2443 er die, so unter5259 dem Gesetz3551 waren, erlösete, daß2443 wir die Kindschaft5206 empfingen618.

6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying, Abba, Avon,ö O Father, our Father.

6 Weil3754 ihr2075 denn1161 Kinder seid, hat1821 GOtt2316 gesandt den Geist4151 seines Sohnes in1519 eure5216 Herzen2588, der schreiet: Abba5, lieber Vater3962!

7 From now on you are not servants but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God through Jesus Christ.

7 Also ist nun3765 hier1488 kein1487 Knecht1401 mehr, sondern235 eitel Kinder. Sind‘s aber1161 Kinder, so5620 sind‘s auch2532 Erben2818 Gottes2316 durch1223 Christum5547.

8 Howbeit then, when you did not know God, you served those things which from their nature were not gods.

8 Aber235 zu der Zeit, da ihr1492 GOtt2316 nicht3756 erkanntet, dientet ihr1398 denen, die von3303 Natur5449 nicht3361 Götter2316 sind5607.

9 But now after you have known God, and, above all, are known of God, you turn again to those weak and poor principles, and you wish again to come under their bondage.

9 Nun3568 ihr aber1161 GOtt2316 erkannt1097 habt, ja vielmehr3123 von5259 GOtt2316 erkannt1097 seid, wie4459 wendet ihr euch denn2532 um wieder1994 zu den3739 schwachen772 und1161 dürftigen4434 Satzungen4747, welchen ihr von neuem509 an1909 dienen1398 wollt2309?

10 You still observe days and months and times and years.

10 Ihr haltet3906 Tage2250 und2532 Monden und2532 Feste2540 und2532 Jahrzeiten.

11 I am afraid that perhaps I have labored among you in vain.

11 Ich fürchte5399 für1519 euch5209, daß ich nicht vielleicht4458 umsonst1500 habe2872 an euch5209 gearbeitet2872.

12 My brethren, I beseech you, put yourself in my place; just as once I put myself in your place: You have not offended me at all.

12 Seid1096 doch wie5613 ich1473, denn3754 ich2504 bin wie5613 ihr5210. Liebe Brüder80, ich bitte1189 euch5216, ihr habt mir3165 kein3762 Leid91 getan.

13 You know that I was sick and weak when I preached the gospel to you at the first.

13 Denn1161 ihr wisset, daß3754 ich euch5213 in1223 Schwachheit769 nach dem Fleisch4561 das1492 Evangelium2097 geprediget habe zum erstenmal4386.

14 And yet you did not despise me, nor reject me on account of my weakness; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Jesus Christ.

14 Und2532 meine3450 Anfechtungen3986, die3450 ich3165 leide nach dem Fleisch4561, habt ihr nicht3756 verachtet1848 noch3761 verschmähet, sondern235 als5613 einen Engel32 Gottes2316 nahmet1209 ihr mich1722 auf, ja als5613 Christum5547 JEsum2424.

15 Where is then the blessedness you had? for I can testify concerning you, that if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and have given them to me.

15 Wie5101 waret ihr3140 dazumal so3767 selig3108! Ich bin euer5216 Zeuge3140, daß3754, wenn1487 es möglich1415 gewesen2258 wäre, ihr5213 hättet1846 eure5216 Augen3788 ausgerissen und1063 mir3427 gegeben1325.

16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

16 Bin1096 ich5213 denn also euer Feind2190 worden, daß5620 ich euch5216 die Wahrheit226 vorhalte?

17 These men do not envy you for good, but they would dominate you, so that you might envy them.

17 Sie eifern2206 um euch5209 nicht3756 fein2573, sondern235 sie wollen2309 euch5209 von mir abfällig1576 machen, daß2443 ihr846 um sie sollt eifern2206.

18 But it is good that you should always envy after good things, and not only when I am present with you.

18 Eifern2206 ist2532 gut2570, wenn‘s immerdar3842 geschiehet um1722 das Gute2570 und1161 nicht3361 allein3440, wenn ich3165 gegenwärtig3918 bei1722 euch5209 bin.

19 My little children, for whom I am in travail again, until Christ be a reality in you,

19 Meine3450 lieben Kinder5040, welche3739 ich abermal mit Ängsten gebäre5605, bis891 daß Christus5547 in1722 euch5213 eine Gestalt3445 gewinne.

20 I wish I could be with you now, and could change the tone of my voice; because I am deeply concerned about you.

20 Ich wollte2309 aber1161, daß3754 ich jetzt737 bei1722 euch5209 wäre3918, und2532 meine3450 Stimme5456 wandeln könnte236, denn ich bin irre639 an4314 euch5213.

21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

21 Saget mir3427, die ihr3004 unter5259 dem Gesetz3551 sein1511 wollt2309: Habt191 ihr191 das Gesetz3551 nicht3756 gehöret?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a bondmaid, and one by a freewoman.

22 Denn1063 es stehet geschrieben1125, daß3754 Abraham11 zween Söhne hatte2192, einen von1537 der1520 Magd, den andern von1537 der Freien1658.

23 But he who was born of the bondmaid was born after the flesh; but he who was born of the freewoman was born by promise.

23 Aber235 der von1537 der Magd3814 war, ist3303 nach2596 dem Fleisch4561 geboren; der aber1161 von1537 der Freien1658, ist1080 durch1223 die Verheißung1860 geboren.

24 Now these things are a symbol of the two covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, give girls birth to bondage, which is Hagar.

24 Die3748 Worte bedeuten2076 etwas238. Denn1063 das3778 sind1526 die3748 zwei1417 Testamente1242, eines von3303 dem575 Berge3735 Sinai4614, das zur1519 Knechtschaft1397 gebieret, welches ist2076 die Hagar28.

25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and surrenders to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

25 Denn1063 Hagar28 heißet in1722 Arabien688 der Berg3735 Sinai4614 und1161 langet bis gen Jerusalem2419, das3588 zu dieser3568 Zeit ist2076, und1161 ist1398 dienstbar mit3326 seinen Kindern5043.

26 But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and is the mother of us all.

26 Aber1161 das3956 Jerusalem2419, das droben507 ist2076, das ist2076 die3748 Freie1658, die ist unser2257 aller Mutter3384.

27 For as it is written, Make merry, O you barren who bear not; rejoice and cry, O you who travail not; for the children of the forsaken are more numerous than the children of the one who is favored.

27 Denn1063 es stehet geschrieben1125: Sei fröhlich2165, du Unfruchtbare4723, die du nicht3756 gebierest, und2532 brich hervor4486 und rufe994, die du nicht3756 schwanger5088 bist5605! Denn3754 die Einsame2048 hat2192 viel4183 mehr Kinder5043, denn2228 die den Mann435 hat.

28 Now we, my brethren, are the children of promise, as was Isaac.

28 Wir2249 aber1161, liebe Brüder80, sind2070 Isaak2464 nach2596 der2596 Verheißung1860 Kinder5043.

29 But as then he who was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

29 Aber235 gleichwie5618 zu der Zeit5119, der nach2596 dem Fleisch4561 geboren war1080, verfolgete den, der nach2596 dem Geist4151 geboren war, also3779 gehet es jetzt3568 auch2532.

30 Nevertheless what does the scripture say? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the maidservant shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

30 Aber235 was5101 spricht3004 die Schrift1124? Stoß1544 die Magd3814 hinaus mit3326 ihrem Sohn! Denn2532 der Magd3814 Sohn soll nicht3364 erben2816 mit dem846 Sohn der Freien1658.

31 So then, my brethren, we are not children of the maidservant but children of the freewoman.

31 So686 sind2070 wir nun, liebe Brüder80, nicht3756 der Magd3814 Kinder5043, sondern235 der Freien1658.
