Galasi 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Enben! Men sa m' vle di: Pitit ki pou resevwa byen papa li a, toutotan li piti toujou, y'ap trete l' menm jan yo trete yon esklav, atout se li menm ki mèt tout bagay.
2 Toutotan li timoun toujou, li sou lòd moun k'ap okipe l' la, moun k'ap regle zafè l' pou li a, jouk lè papa a te fikse a rive.
3 Nou menm tou, toutotan nou te tankou timoun, nou te esklav tout lide ki t'ap mennen lèzòm nan lemonn.
4 Men, lè lè a rive, Bondye te voye pwòp pitit li. Li soti nan vant yon fanm, li viv anba lalwa jwif yo,
5 pou l' te ka delivre tout moun ki te anba lalwa pou n' te kapab vin pitit Bondye.
6 Pou fè nou wè nou se pitit li tout bon, Bondye te voye Lespri Pitit li a k'ap rele: Papa, nan kè nou.
7 Konsa, ou pa esklav ankò, ou se yon pitit. Si ou se yon pitit Bondye, Bondye va ba ou tout byen li sere pou pitit li yo.
8 ¶ Nan tan lontan, nou pa t' konnen Bondye, nou te esklav yon bann bondye ki pa t' Bondye.
9 Men, koulye a nou rive konn Bondye, ou pito koulye a Bondye konnen nou, kouman nou fè vle tounen al jwenn ti lespri sa yo ki tou fèb, tou mizerab? Ki jan pou nou vle tounen esklav yo ankò?
10 Ki jan fè gen jou, gen mwa, gen sezon, gen lanne ki gen pi konsekan pou nou pase lòt?
11 Mwen pè pou nou anpil. Gen lè mwen te travay mal nan mitan nou? Se sa m'ap mande mwen.
12 ¶ Frè m' yo, tanpri souple. Se pou nou vin tankou m', menm jan mwen menm tou mwen te vini tankou nou. Nou pa janm fè m' okenn tò.
13 Nou chonje kisa ki te fè m' anonse nou bon nouvèl la pou premye fwa a? Se paske m' te malad.
14 Lè sa a, malgre maladi m' lan ta ka yon eprèv pou nou, nou pa t' meprize m', ni nou pa t' repouse mwen. Okontrè, nou te resevwa m' tankou si m' te yon zanj Bondye, tankou si se Jezikri menm m' te ye.
15 Lè sa a, nou pa t' manke kontan! Kisa ki rive nou konsa? Mwen ka di sa pou nou: si nou te gen pou n' te rache je nou ban mwen, nou ta fè li.
16 Men koulye a, èske mwen tounen yon lènmi pou nou paske m'ap di nou laverite?
17 ¶ Lòt moun sa yo enterese anpil nan nou, men lide yo gen dèyè tèt yo pa bon menm. Yo ta vle separe nou avè m' pou nou ka enterese nan yo ase.
18 Sa bon pou nou enterese nan lòt moun tou, men fòk nou pa gen move lide nan tèt nou. Wi, se pou nou toujou enterese nan lòt moun, menm lè mwen pa nan mitan nou.
19 ¶ Pitit mwen yo, m'ap soufri anpil pou nou toujou, tankou yon manman k'ap soufri doulè tranche, m'ap soufri pou nou jouk tan Kris la va fin fòme nèt nan nou.
20 Jan m' ta renmen bò kote nou koulye a pou m' ta ka pale yon lòt jan avèk nou! Se pa ti kras pè mwen pè pou nou!
21 ¶ Manyè di m', nou menm ki vle rete anba lalwa a: gen lè nou pa konprann sa lalwa a di?
22 Li di nou konsa: Abraram te gen de pitit gason, yonn avèk fanm ki te esklav la, yon lòt avèk fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
23 Pitit fanm ki te esklav la te fèt dapre egzijans lachè, men pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la te fèt dapre pwomès Bondye.
24 Nou ka pran istwa sa a pou yon parabòl: de fanm sa yo se de kontra. Aga se kontra ki te fèt sou Mòn Sinayi a. Tout pitit li yo se esklav yo ye.
25 Aga se Mòn Sinayi nan peyi Arabi. Li koresponn ak lavil Jerizalèm ki la koulye a nan esklavaj ak tout pitit li yo.
26 Men, Jerizalèm ki nan syèl la, li lib. Se li menm ki manman nou.
27 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Fè kè ou kontan, ou menm fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit! Rele! Fè tout moun konnen jan ou kontan, ou menm ki pa t' janm konnen doulè tranche! Paske, fanm gason pa t' okipe a ap gen plis pitit pase fanm ki gen mari.
28 Koulye a, frè m' yo, nou tankou Izarak: nou se pitit Bondye jan l' te pwomèt la.
29 Nan tan Abraram, pitit ki te fèt dapre egzijans lachè a t'ap pèsekite pitit ki te fèt dapre Lespri Bondye a. Se konsa sa ye koulye a tou.
30 Men, kisa ki ekri nan Liv la? Liv la di: Mete esklav la deyò ansanm ak tout pitit li a. Paske pitit esklav la pa gen dwa eritye nan byen papa a ansanm avèk pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
31 Konsa, frè m' yo, nou pa pitit esklav la, nou se pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
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)
