Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Еще скажу: наследник, доколе в детстве, ничем не отличается от раба, хотя и господин всего:
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 он подчинен попечителям и домоправителям до срока, отцом назначенного.
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
3 Так и мы, доколе были в детстве, были порабощены вещественным началам мира;
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
4 но когда пришла полнота времени, Бог послал Сына Своего [Единородного], Который родился от жены, подчинился закону,
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
5 чтобы искупить подзаконных, дабы нам получить усыновление.
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
6 А как вы — сыны, то Бог послал в сердца ваши Духа Сына Своего, вопиющего: "Авва, Отче!"
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
7 Посему ты уже не раб, но сын; а если сын, то и наследник Божий через Иисуса Христа.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Но тогда, не знав Бога, вы служили богам, которые в существе не боги.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
9 Ныне же, познав Бога, или, лучше, получив познание от Бога, для чего возвращаетесь опять к немощным и бедным вещественным началам и хотите еще снова поработить себя им?
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 Наблюдаете дни, месяцы, времена и годы.
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 Боюсь за вас, не напрасно ли я трудился у вас.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
12 Прошу вас, братия, будьте, как я, потому что и я, как вы. Вы ничем не обидели меня:
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
13 знаете, что, хотя я в немощи плоти благовествовал вам в первый раз,
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
14 но вы не презрели искушения моего во плоти моей и не возгнушались им, а приняли меня, как Ангела Божия, как Христа Иисуса.
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 Как вы были блаженны! Свидетельствую о вас, что, если бы возможно было, вы исторгли бы очи свои и отдали мне.
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 Итак, неужели я сделался врагом вашим, говоря вам истину?
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Ревнуют по вас нечисто, а хотят вас отлучить, чтобы вы ревновали по них.
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
18 Хорошо ревновать в добром всегда, а не в моем только присутствии у вас.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
19 Дети мои, для которых я снова в муках рождения, доколе не изобразится в вас Христос!
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
20 Хотел бы я теперь быть у вас и изменить голос мой, потому что я в недоумении о вас.
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 Скажите мне вы, желающие быть под законом: разве вы не слушаете закона?
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
22 Ибо написано: Авраам имел двух сынов, одного от рабы, а другого от свободной.
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
23 Но который от рабы, тот рожден по плоти; а который от свободной, тот по обетованию.
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 В этом есть иносказание. Это два завета: один от горы Синайской, рождающий в рабство, который есть Агарь,
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
25 ибо Агарь означает гору Синай в Аравии и соответствует нынешнему Иерусалиму, потому что он с детьми своими в рабстве;
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 а вышний Иерусалим свободен: он — матерь всем нам.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 Ибо написано: возвеселись, неплодная, нерождающая; воскликни и возгласи, не мучившаяся родами; потому что у оставленной гораздо более детей, нежели у имеющей мужа.
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 Мы, братия, дети обетования по Исааку.
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 Но, как тогда рожденный по плоти гнал рожденного по духу, так и ныне.
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 Что же говорит Писание? Изгони рабу и сына ее, ибо сын рабы не будет наследником вместе с сыном свободной.
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 Итак, братия, мы дети не рабы, но свободной.
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.
