WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Let me explain what I'm saying. An heir who is underage is no different from a slave, even though the heir may be the owner of everything.
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 An heir is subject to guardians and managers until the time set by the father.
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 It's just the same for us. When we were children, we were slaves subject to the basic rules of the law.
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 But at the appropriate time God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the rule of law,
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 so that he could rescue those who were kept under the rule of law, so that we could receive the inheritance of adopted children.
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 To show you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son to convince us, causing us to call out, “Abba,” meaning “Father.”
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 Since you are now no longer a slave, but a child, and if you are his child, then God has made you his heir.
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 At the time when you didn't know God, you were enslaved by the supposed “gods” of this world.
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 But now you've come to know God—or better, to be known by God. So how can you go back to those useless and worthless rules? Do you want to be slaves to those rules all over again?
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 You're observing special days and months, seasons and years.
10 Guardáis los días, y los meses, y los tiempos, y los años.
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 I'm concerned that all I did for you has been wasted!
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 I'm pleading with you, my friends: be like me, because I became like you. You've never treated me badly.
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 You remember that it was because I was sick that I shared with you the good news on my first visit.
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 Even though my illness was difficult for you, you didn't despise or reject me—in fact you treated me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.
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 So what's happened to all your gratefulness? I tell you, back then if you could have pulled out your eyes and given them to me, you would have!
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 So what has happened—have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
16 ¿Heme pues hecho vuestro enemigo, diciéndoos la verdad?
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 These people are keen to gain your support, but not for any good reasons. On the contrary, they want to keep you away from us so that you will enthusiastically support them.
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 Of course it's good to want to do good. But this should be at all times, not just when I'm there with you!
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 My dear friends, I want to work with you until Christ's character is duplicated in you.
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 I really wish I could be with you right now so I could change my tone of voice… I'm so worried about you.
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 Answer me this, you people who want to live under the law: Don't you hear what the law is saying?
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 As Scripture says, Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the free woman.
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 However, the son from the servant girl was born following a human plan, while the son from the free woman was born as the result of the promise.
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 This provides an analogy: these two women represent two agreements. One agreement is from Mount Sinai—Hagar—and she gives birth to slave children.
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 Hagar symbolizes Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the current Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
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 But the heavenly Jerusalem is free. She is our mother.
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 As Scripture says, “Rejoice you who are childless and who have never given birth! Shout aloud for joy, you who have never been in labor—for the abandoned woman has more children than the woman who has a husband!”
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 Now my friends, we are children of promise just like Isaac.
28 Así que, hermanos, nosotros como Isaac somos hijos de la promesa.
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 However, just as the one born according to a human plan persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is today.
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 But what does Scripture say? “Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will not be an heir together with the son of the free woman.”
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 Therefore, my friends, we're not children of a servant girl, but of the free woman.
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.

«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo.

… 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.
