加拉太书 4:1 · Galatians 4:1
我说那承受产业的,虽然是全业的主人,但为孩童的时候却与仆人毫无分别,
Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Galatians 4 · King James Version
英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 31 节
我说那承受产业的,虽然是全业的主人,但为孩童的时候却与仆人毫无分别,
Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
乃在师傅和臣宰的手下,直等他父亲预定的时候来到。
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
我们为孩童的时候,受管於世俗基础之下,也是如此。
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
及至时候满足, 上帝就差遣他的 儿子,为女子所生,且生在律法以下,
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
要把律法以下的人赎出来,叫我们得着儿子的名分。
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
你们既为儿子, 上帝就差他 儿子的 灵进入你们的心,呼叫:「 阿爸, 父。」
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
可见,从此以後,你不是仆人,乃是儿子了。既是儿子,就靠着 基督成为 上帝的後嗣。
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
但从前你们不认识 上帝的时候,是服事那些本来不是神的;
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
但现在你们既然认识 上帝,更可说是被 上帝所认识的,怎麽还要归回那懦弱无用的基础,情愿再给他作奴仆呢?
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?
你们谨守日子丶月分丶节期丶年分。
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
我为你们害怕丶唯恐我在你们身上是枉费劳累。
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
弟兄们,我劝你们要像我一样,因为我也像你们一样。你们一点没有伤害我。
Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
你们知道我第一次是怎样藉着患病的身体把福音传给你们。
Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
并且你们没有因我身体受试探的缘故轻看我,也没有厌弃我,反倒接待我,如同 上帝的天使,如同 基督耶稣。
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.
你们当日所夸的福气在哪里呢?那时你们若能行,就是把自己的眼睛剜出来给我,也都情愿。这是我可以给你们作见证的。
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.
因为我将真理告诉你们,就成了你们的仇敌吗?
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
那些人热心待你们,却不是好意;他们是要排除你们,叫你们热心待他们。
They zealously affect you, [but] not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
在善事上,常被热心鼓动原是好的,却不单我与你们同在的时候才这样。
But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a] good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.
我小子啊,我为你们再受分娩的阵痛,直等到 基督成形在你们心里。
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
我巴不得现今在你们那里,改换口气,因我为你们心里作难。
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
你们这愿意在律法以下的人,请告诉我,你们岂没有听见律法吗?
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
因为律法上记着,亚伯拉罕有两个儿子,一个是婢女生的,一个是自主之妇人生的。
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
然而,那婢女所生的是按着血气生的;那自主之妇人所生的是凭着应许生的。
But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.
这都是隐喻:那两个妇人就是两约。一约是出於西奈山,生子为奴,乃是夏甲。
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
这夏甲二字是指着阿拉伯的西奈山,与现在的耶路撒冷同类,并且她的儿女都是为奴的。
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
但那在上的耶路撒冷是自主的,她是我们众人的母。
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
因为经上记着:不育而不怀孕的,你要欢乐;未曾经过阵痛的,你要高声欢呼;因为没有丈夫的,比有丈夫的儿女更多。
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.
弟兄们,我们是凭着应许作儿女,如同以撒一样。
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
当时,那按着血气生的逼迫了那按着 灵生的,现在也是这样。
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
然而圣经上是怎麽说的呢?是说:「把婢女和她儿子赶出去。因为婢女的儿子不可与自主妇人的儿子一同承受产业。」
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.
弟兄们,这样看来,我们不是婢女的儿女,乃是自主妇人的儿女了。
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
