Galacia 4
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
4 Ito ang ibig kong sabihin: habang bata pa ang tagapagmana ay wala siyang pagkakaiba sa isang alipin kahit na siya ang may-ari ng lahat. 2 Sa halip ay nasa ilalim siya ng mga tagapangalaga at mga katiwala hanggang dumating ang panahong itinakda ng kanyang ama. 3 Ganoon din tayo. Noong tayo'y mga bata pa, inalipin din tayo ng mga espiritung naghahari sa sanlibutan. 4 Ngunit nang sumapit ang takdang panahon, isinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak. Isinilang siya ng isang babae, at namuhay sa ilalim ng Kautusan, 5 upang (A) palayain ang mga nasa ilalim ng Kautusan, nang sa gayo'y matanggap natin ang karapatang maging mga anak ng Diyos. 6 Sapagkat kayo ngayon ay mga anak na ng Diyos, isinugo niya ang Espiritu ng kanyang Anak, ang Espiritung sumisigaw sa ating[a] mga puso, “Ama,[b] aking Ama!” 7 Kaya't hindi ka na alipin kundi anak. At dahil ikaw ay anak, ikaw ay ginawa na ring tagapagmana sa pamamagitan ng Diyos.
Pinagsabihan ni Pablo ang mga Taga-Galacia
8 Kayo'y alipin ng mga diyus-diyosan noong hindi pa ninyo kilala ang Diyos. 9 Subalit ngayong nakikilala na ninyo ang Diyos, o mas tamang sabihing, kilala na kayo ng Diyos, bakit kayo bumabalik na naman sa mahihina at hamak na mga espiritung iyan? Bakit ibig ninyong muling maalipin ng mga iyon? 10 Nangingilin kayo ng mga araw, mga buwan, mga panahon, at mga taon! 11 Nangangamba akong ang mga pagpapagal ko para sa inyo'y mawalan ng kabuluhan.
12 Nakikiusap ako sa inyo, mga kapatid, gayahin ninyo ako, sapagkat ako nama'y gaya rin ninyo noon. Wala kayong ginawang masama sa akin. 13 Alam naman ninyong kaya ako nakapangaral ng ebanghelyo sa inyo ay dahil nagkaroon ako ng karamdaman. 14 At kahit na ako'y naging malaking pasanin sa inyo dahil sa aking karamdaman, hindi pa rin ninyo ako hinamak o tinanggihan. Sa halip, tinanggap ninyo ako na parang isang anghel ng Diyos, at para pa ngang si Cristo Jesus! 15 Nasaan na ang kagalakang iyon ngayon?[c] Ano na ang nangyari? Ako mismo ang makapagpapatotoo na kung maaari lang ay dudukutin ninyo noon ang inyong mga mata maibigay lang ito sa akin. 16 Naging kaaway ba ninyo ako ngayon dahil sa pagsasabi ko sa inyo ng katotohanan? 17 Masigasig ang mga taong iyan upang mahikayat kayo, subalit hindi mabuti ang kanilang layunin. Ang naisin nila ay ang ilayo kayo sa akin, upang kayo'y sa kanila maging masigasig. 18 Mabuti naman ang maging laging masigasig, basta para sa mabuting layunin. Gawin ninyo lagi ito at hindi lamang kapag kaharap ninyo ako! 19 Minamahal kong mga anak! Para sa inyo'y muli akong dumaranas ng hirap gaya ng isang babaing nanganganak, hanggang hindi nabubuo sa inyo ang pagkatao ni Cristo. 20 Sana'y kasama ko kayo ngayon upang maiba ko ang tono ng aking pagsasalita. Labis akong nag-aalala para sa inyo!
Paghahambing kina Hagar at Sarah
21 Sabihin ninyo sa akin, kayong nagnanais pailalim sa Kautusan: hindi ba ninyo naririnig ang sinasabi ng Kautusan? 22 Sapagkat (B) nasusulat doon na si Abraham ay nagkaroon ng dalawang anak na lalaki, isa sa aliping babae, at isa sa babaing malaya. 23 Ang anak niya sa alipin ay ipinanganak sa karaniwang paraan,[d] ngunit ang anak niya sa babaing malaya ay isinilang bilang katuparan ng pangako ng Diyos. 24 Ito'y isang paghahambing: Ang mga babaing ito'y larawan ng dalawang tipan. Ang isa ay ang tipan na nagmula sa bundok ng Sinai na inilalarawan ni Hagar na nagsilang ng mga anak para sa pagkaalipin. 25 Ngayon, si Hagar ay kumakatawan sa bundok ng Sinai sa Arabia, at larawan ng kasalukuyang Jerusalem na nasa pagkaalipin, kasama ng kanyang mga mamamayan. 26 Ngunit ang Jerusalem na nasa langit ay malaya, at siya ang ating ina. 27 Sapagkat (C) nasusulat,
“Magalak ka, O babaing baog, ikaw na hindi magkaanak;
umawit ka at humiyaw sa galak, ikaw na ang sakit sa panganganak ay hindi man lang dinanas;
sapagkat ang mga babaing pinabayaan ay higit na marami ang supling
kaysa supling ng mga babaing may asawang kapiling.”
28 At tulad ni Isaac, kayo, mga kapatid, ay mga anak ayon sa pangako. 29 Kung paanong inusig noon (D) ng ipinanganak sa karaniwang paraan ang ipinanganak ayon sa Espiritu, ganoon din naman ngayon. 30 Subalit (E) ano ang sinasabi ng kasulatan? “Palayasin mo ang babaing alipin at ang kanyang anak, sapagkat hindi magmamanang magkasama ang anak ng babaing alipin at ang anak ng babaing malaya.” 31 Kaya nga, mga kapatid, hindi tayo mga supling ng babaing alipin, kundi ng babaing malaya.

Galacia 4
Ang Biblia, 2001
4 Ganito ang ibig kong sabihin: ang tagapagmana, habang bata pa ay hindi nakahihigit sa mga alipin bagama't siya ang may-ari ng lahat,
2 subalit siya ay nasa ilalim ng mga tagapangalaga at mga katiwala hanggang sa panahong itinakda ng ama.
3 Gayundin tayo, nang tayo'y mga bata pa, tayo'y naalipin sa mga panimulang aral ng sanlibutan.
4 Subalit nang dumating ang ganap na kapanahunan, isinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak, na ipinanganak ng isang babae, at ipinanganak sa ilalim ng kautusan,
5 upang(A) tubusin ang mga nasa ilalim ng kautusan, upang matanggap natin ang pagkupkop bilang mga anak.
6 At sapagkat kayo'y mga anak, isinugo ng Diyos ang Espiritu ng kanyang Anak sa ating[a] mga puso, na sumisigaw, “Abba,[b] Ama!”
7 Kaya't hindi ka na alipin kundi anak; at kung anak, ay tagapagmana.
Pinagsabihan ni Pablo ang mga Taga-Galacia
8 Subalit noong una, nang hindi pa ninyo kilala ang Diyos, kayo'y naging mga alipin ng mga hindi likas na diyos.
9 Subalit ngayong nakikilala na ninyo ang Diyos, o sa halip ay kinikilala na kayo ng Diyos, bakit muli kayong nagbabalik sa mahihina at hamak na mga panimulang aral, na sa mga iyon ay nais ninyong muling maging mga alipin?
10 Nangingilin kayo ng mga araw, mga buwan, mga panahon, at mga taon.
11 Ako'y natatakot na nagpagal ako sa inyo nang walang kabuluhan.
12 Mga kapatid, nakikiusap ako sa inyo, kayo'y maging kagaya ko, sapagkat ako'y naging katulad din ninyo. Wala kayong ginawang masama sa akin.
13 Nalalaman ninyo na dahil sa karamdaman ng katawan ay una kong ipinangaral sa inyo ang ebanghelyo.
14 Bagaman ang aking kalagayan ay naging isang pagsubok sa inyo, hindi ninyo ako hinamak o kinasuklaman kundi tinanggap na gaya sa isang anghel ng Diyos, gaya ni Cristo Jesus.
15 Nasaan na ngayon ang inyong kagandahang-loob?[c] Sapagkat ako'y nagpapatotoo sa inyo, na kung maaari sana ay dinukit na ninyo ang inyong mga mata at ibinigay sa akin.
16 Ako ba ngayo'y naging kaaway ninyo sa pagsasabi ko sa inyo ng katotohanan?
17 Sila'y masigasig sa inyo, subalit hindi para sa mabuting layunin; nais nilang ihiwalay kayo, upang kayo'y maging masigasig sa kanila.
18 Subalit mabuti ang maging laging masigasig sa mabuting bagay at hindi lamang kapag ako'y kaharap ninyo.
19 Minamahal kong mga anak, na para sa inyo ay muli akong nakakaranas ng hirap ng panganganak hanggang si Cristo ay mabuo sa inyo.
20 Nais kong makaharap kayo ngayon at baguhin ang aking tono, sapagkat ako'y nag-aalinlangan tungkol sa inyo.
Paghahambing kina Hagar at Sarah
21 Sabihin ninyo sa akin, kayong nagnanais mapasailalim ng kautusan, hindi ba ninyo naririnig ang kautusan?
22 Sapagkat(B) nasusulat na si Abraham ay nagkaroon ng dalawang anak, isa mula sa aliping babae, at ang isa ay sa babaing malaya.
23 Subalit ang mula sa alipin ay ipinanganak ayon sa laman, at ang mula sa babaing malaya ay sa pamamagitan ng pangako.
24 Ang mga bagay na ito ay isang paghahambing, sapagkat ang mga babaing ito'y dalawang tipan. Ang isa ay si Hagar na mula sa bundok ng Sinai na nanganganak para sa pagkaalipin.
25 Ngayon, si Hagar ay bundok ng Sinai sa Arabia at katumbas ng kasalukuyang Jerusalem, sapagkat siya'y nasa pagkaalipin kasama ng kanyang mga anak.
26 Ngunit ang Jerusalem na nasa itaas ay malaya, na siyang ating ina.
27 Sapagkat(C) nasusulat,
“Magalak ka, ikaw na baog, ikaw na hindi nanganganak;
bigla kang umawit at sumigaw, ikaw na hindi nakakaranas ng sakit sa panganganak;
sapagkat mas marami pa ang mga anak ng pinabayaan
kaysa mga anak ng may asawa.”
28 At kayo, mga kapatid, tulad ni Isaac, ay mga anak ng pangako.
29 Subalit(D) kung paanong inusig noon ng ipinanganak ayon sa laman ang ipinanganak ayon sa Espiritu, gayundin naman ngayon.
30 Subalit(E) ano ang sinasabi ng kasulatan? “Palayasin ang aliping babae at ang kanyang anak, sapagkat hindi magmamana ang anak ng babaing alipin na kasama ng anak ng babaing malaya.”
31 Kaya, mga kapatid, hindi tayo mga anak ng babaing alipin, kundi ng babaing malaya.

Galatians 4
New International Version
Galatians 4
New International Version
4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery(A) under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world.(B) 4 But when the set time had fully come,(C) God sent his Son,(D) born of a woman,(E) born under the law,(F) 5 to redeem(G) those under the law, that we might receive adoption(H) to sonship.[b](I) 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(J) into our hearts,(K) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[c] Father.”(L) 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.(M)
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God,(N) you were slaves(O) to those who by nature are not gods.(P) 9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God(Q)—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[d]? Do you wish to be enslaved(R) by them all over again?(S) 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!(T) 11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.(U)
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters,(V) become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, it was because of an illness(W) that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.(X) 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?(Y)
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.(Z) 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.(AA) 19 My dear children,(AB) for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,(AC) 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law,(AD) are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman(AE) and the other by the free woman.(AF) 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh,(AG) but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.(AH)
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above(AI) is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[e](AJ)
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.(AK) 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh(AL) persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit.(AM) It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”[f](AN) 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman,(AO) but of the free woman.(AP)

Galatians 4
King James Version
4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye 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 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless 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 freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

New King James Version
Sons and Heirs Through Christ
4 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, (A)were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But (B)when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, (C)born[a] (D)of a woman, (E)born under the law, 5 (F)to redeem those who were under the law, (G)that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth (H)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, [b]“Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, (I)and if a son, then an heir [c]of God [d]through Christ.
Fears for the Church
8 But then, indeed, (J)when you did not know God, (K)you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now (L)after you have known God, or rather are known by God, (M)how is it that you turn again to (N)the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 (O)You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, (P)lest I have labored for you in vain.
12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. (Q)You have not injured me at all. 13 You know that (R)because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me (S)as an [e]angel of God, (T)even as Christ Jesus. 15 [f]What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
17 They (U)zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them. 18 But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. 19 (V)My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, 20 I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.
Two Covenants(W)
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: (X)the one by a bondwoman, (Y)the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman (Z)was born according to the flesh, (AA)and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are [g]the two covenants: the one from Mount (AB)Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the (AC)Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:
(AD)“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”
28 Now (AE)we, brethren, as Isaac was, are (AF)children of promise. 29 But, as (AG)he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, (AH)even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does (AI)the Scripture say? (AJ)“Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for (AK)the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
