WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 λεγω δε εφ οσον χρονον ο κληρονομοσ νηπιοσ εστιν ουδεν διαφερει δουλου κυριοσ παντων ων
1 TAMBIÉN digo: Entre tanto que el heredero es niño, en nada difiere del siervo, aunque es señor de todo;
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
2 αλλα υπο επιτροπουσ εστιν και οικονομουσ αχρι τησ προθεσμιασ του πατροσ
2 Mas está debajo de tutores y curadores hasta el tiempo señalado por el padre.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
3 ουτωσ και ημεισ οτε ημεν νηπιοι υπο τα στοιχεια του κοσμου ημεν δεδουλωμενοι
3 Así también nosotros, cuando éramos niños, éramos siervos bajo los rudimentos del mundo.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
4 οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικοσ γενομενον υπο νομον
4 Mas venido el cumplimiento del tiempo, Dios envió su Hijo, hecho de mujer, hecho súbdito á la ley,
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
5 ινα τουσ υπο νομον εξαγοραση ινα την υιοθεσιαν απολαβωμεν
5 Para que redimiese á los que estaban debajo de la ley, á fin de que recibiésemos la adopción de hijos.
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
6 οτι δε εστε υιοι εξαπεστειλεν ο θεοσ το πνευμα του υιου αυτου εισ τασ καρδιασ υμων κραζον αββα ο πατηρ
6 Y por cuanto sois hijos, Dios envió el Espíritu de su Hijo en vuestros corazones, el cual clama: Abba, Padre.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
7 ωστε ουκετι ει δουλοσ αλλ υιοσ ει δε υιοσ και κληρονομοσ θεου δια χριστου
7 Así que ya no eres más siervo, sino hijo; y si hijo, también heredero de Dios por Cristo.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 αλλα τοτε μεν ουκ ειδοτεσ θεον εδουλευσατε τοισ μη φυσει ουσιν θεοισ
8 Antes, en otro tiempo, no conociendo á Dios, servíais á los que por naturaleza no son dioses:
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
9 νυν δε γνοντεσ θεον μαλλον δε γνωσθεντεσ υπο θεου πωσ επιστρεφετε παλιν επι τα ασθενη και πτωχα στοιχεια οισ παλιν ανωθεν δουλευειν θελετε
9 Mas ahora, habiendo conocido á Dios, ó más bien, siendo conocidos de Dios, ¿cómo os volvéis de nuevo á los flacos y pobres rudimentos, en los cuales queréis volver á servir?
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
10 ημερασ παρατηρεισθε και μηνασ και καιρουσ και ενιαυτουσ
10 Guardáis los días, y los meses, y los tiempos, y los años.
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 φοβουμαι υμασ μηπωσ εικη κεκοπιακα εισ υμασ
11 Temo de vosotros, que no haya trabajado en vano en vosotros.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
12 γινεσθε ωσ εγω οτι καγω ωσ υμεισ αδελφοι δεομαι υμων ουδεν με ηδικησατε
12 Hermanos, os ruego, sed como yo, porque yo soy como vosotros: ningún agravio me habéis hecho.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
13 οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν τησ σαρκοσ ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
13 Que vosotros sabéis que por flaqueza de carne os anuncié el evangelio al principio:
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
14 και τον πειρασμον μου τον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε αλλ ωσ αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ωσ χριστον ιησουν
14 Y no desechasteis ni menospreciasteis mi tentación que [estaba] en mi carne: antes me recibisteis como á un ángel de Dios, como á Cristo Jesús.
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 τισ ουν ην ο μακαρισμοσ υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τουσ οφθαλμουσ υμων εξορυξαντεσ αν εδωκατε μοι
15 ¿Dónde está pues vuestra bienaventuranza? porque yo os doy testimonio que si se pudiera [hacer], os hubierais sacado vuestros ojos para dármelos.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16 ωστε εχθροσ υμων γεγονα αληθευων υμιν
16 ¿Heme pues hecho vuestro enemigo, diciéndoos la verdad?
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 ζηλουσιν υμασ ου καλωσ αλλα εκκλεισαι υμασ θελουσιν ινα αυτουσ ζηλουτε
17 Tienen celos de vosotros, [pero] no bien: antes os quieren echar fuera para que vosotros los celéis á ellos.
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
18 καλον δε το ζηλουσθαι εν καλω παντοτε και μη μονον εν τω παρειναι με προσ υμασ
18 Bueno es ser celosos en bien siempre; y no solamente cuando estoy presente con vosotros.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
19 τεκνια μου ουσ παλιν ωδινω αχρι ου μορφωθη χριστοσ εν υμιν
19 Hijitos míos, que vuelvo otra vez á estar de parto de vosotros, hasta que Cristo sea formado en vosotros;
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
20 ηθελον δε παρειναι προσ υμασ αρτι και αλλαξαι την φωνην μου οτι απορουμαι εν υμιν
20 Querría cierto estar ahora con vosotros, y mudar mi voz; porque estoy perplejo en cuanto á vosotros.
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 λεγετε μοι οι υπο νομον θελοντεσ ειναι τον νομον ουκ ακουετε
21 Decidme, los que queréis estar debajo de la ley, ¿no habéis oído la ley?
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
22 γεγραπται γαρ οτι αβρααμ δυο υιουσ εσχεν ενα εκ τησ παιδισκησ και ενα εκ τησ ελευθερασ
22 Porque escrito está que Abraham tuvo dos hijos; uno de la sierva, el otro de la libre.
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
23 αλλ ο μεν εκ τησ παιδισκησ κατα σαρκα γεγεννηται ο δε εκ τησ ελευθερασ δια τησ επαγγελιασ
23 Mas el de la sierva nació según la carne; pero el de la libre [nació] por la promesa.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
24 ατινα εστιν αλληγορουμενα αυται γαρ εισιν δυο διαθηκαι μια μεν απο ορουσ σινα εισ δουλειαν γεννωσα ητισ εστιν αγαρ
24 Las cuales cosas son dichas por alegoría: porque estas [mujeres] son los dos pactos; el uno ciertamente del monte Sinaí, el cual engendró para servidumbre, que es Agar.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
25 το γαρ αγαρ σινα οροσ εστιν εν τη αραβια συστοιχει δε τη νυν ιερουσαλημ δουλευει δε μετα των τεκνων αυτησ
25 Porque Agar ó Sinaí es un monte de Arabia, el cual es conjunto á la que ahora es Jerusalem, la cual sirve con sus hijos.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
26 η δε ανω ιερουσαλημ ελευθερα εστιν ητισ εστιν μητηρ παντων ημων
26 Mas la Jerusalem de arriba libre es; la cual es la madre de todos nosotros.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 γεγραπται γαρ ευφρανθητι στειρα η ου τικτουσα ρηξον και βοησον η ουκ ωδινουσα οτι πολλα τα τεκνα τησ ερημου μαλλον η τησ εχουσησ τον ανδρα
27 Porque está escrito: Alégrate, estéril, que no pares: prorrumpe y clama, la que no estás de parto; porque más son los hijos de la dejada, que de la que tiene marido.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
28 ημεισ δε αδελφοι κατα ισαακ επαγγελιασ τεκνα εσμεν
28 Así que, hermanos, nosotros como Isaac somos hijos de la promesa.
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 αλλ ωσπερ τοτε ο κατα σαρκα γεννηθεισ εδιωκεν τον κατα πνευμα ουτωσ και νυν
29 Empero como entonces el que era engendrado según la carne, perseguía al que [había nacido] según el Espíritu, así también ahora.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30 αλλα τι λεγει η γραφη εκβαλε την παιδισκην και τον υιον αυτησ ου γαρ μη κληρονομηση ο υιοσ τησ παιδισκησ μετα του υιου τησ ελευθερασ
30 Mas ¿qué dice la Escritura? Echa fuera á la sierva y á su hijo; porque no será heredero el hijo de la sierva con el hijo de la libre.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
31 αρα αδελφοι ουκ εσμεν παιδισκησ τεκνα αλλα τησ ελευθερασ
31 De manera, hermanos, que no somos hijos de la sierva, mas de la libre.
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… in what sense [God] says, "That is a people who was not a people; and she is beloved who was not beloved;" and in what sense He says that "more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her who possessed a husband." For in reference to these points, and others of a like nature, the apostle exclaims: …
For she had "been the wife of one man," had requited her parents, had guided her house piously, was "well-reported of for good works," had "brought up children," as often travailing in birth of them as she saw them swerving from Thee.

For that He did come forth of the Virgin's flesh, He hath declared by speaking of "that which was conceived in her;" and Paul, by saying, "made of a woman;" whereby he stops the mouths of them that say, Christ came among us as through some conduit.

For God sent forth His Son, says Paul, not made of a man and a woman, but made of a woman only, that is of a virgin.

… (di' ou) ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son," and "Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by (dia) the will of God;" and again, "Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God." And "like as Christ was raised up from the dead by (dia) the glory of …
