¹And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant — being lord of all,

¹Laakiin waxaan leeyahay, Inta midka dhaxalka lahu ilmo yar yahay, waxba kama duwana addoon in kastuu yahay sayidka wax walba,

²but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father,

²laakiinse wuxuu ka hooseeyaa kuwa ilaaliya iyo wakiillo ilaa maalintii aabbihiis ka ballamay.

³so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude,

³Sidaas oo kale innagu markaynu carruur ahayn, waxaa ina addoonsan jiray waxyaalaha aasaaska ah ee dunida;

⁴and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

⁴laakiinse markii wakhtigii buuxsamay, Ilaah wuxuu soo diray Wiilkiisii, isagoo naag ka dhashay oo sharciga ku hoos dhashay,

⁵that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive;

⁵inuu furto kuwii sharciga ku hoos jiray inuu carruurtiis inaga dhigo.

⁶and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!`

⁶Oo wiilashiisa aad tihiin daraaddeed ayaa Ilaah u soo diray Ruuxa Wiilkiisa qalbiyadeenna dhexdooda, isagoo dhawaaqaya oo leh, Aabbow.

⁷so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

⁷Saasaadan mar dambe addoon u ahayn, laakiinse waxaad tahay wiilkiisa, oo haddaad wiilkiisa tahay, waxaadna tahay mid dhaxal leh xagga Ilaah.

⁸But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude to those not by nature gods,

⁸Laakiinse markii aydnaan Ilaah garanayn, waxaad addoommo u ahaydeen kuwo aan ilaahyo ahayn xagga dabiicadda.

⁹and now, having known God — and rather being known by God — how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

⁹Laakiin haatan idinkoo Ilaah gartay ama Ilaah idin gartay, sidee baad mar kale ugu noqotaan waxyaalaha aasaaska oo miskiinnimada ah, tabartana daran, kuwa aad jeceshihiin inaad mar kale addoommo u noqotaan?

¹⁰days ye observe, and months, and times, and years!

¹⁰Waxaad dhawrtaan maalmo, iyo bilo, iyo xilliyo, iyo sannado.

¹¹I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

¹¹Waxaan ka baqayaa inaan waxtarla'aan idinkugu hawshooday.

¹²Become as I [am] — because I also [am] as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

¹²Waxaan idinka baryayaa, walaalayaalow, inaad noqotaan sida aan ahay, waayo, anba waxaan ahay sida aad tihiin. Waxba iguma aydnaan xumayn.

¹³and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

¹³Laakiin waad og tihiin in itaaldarrada jidhka aawadeed aan markii ugu horraysay injiilka idinku wacdiyey.

¹⁴and my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me — as Christ Jesus;

¹⁴Waxa ku saabsan jidhkayga oo idin jirrabay ma aydnaan quudhsan, mana aydnaan nicin, laakiin waxaad ii aqbasheen sidii malaa'ig Ilaah, xataa sidii Ciise Masiix.

¹⁵what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me;

¹⁵Haddaba meeday farxaddiinnii? Waayo, waxaan idiinku markhaati furayaa inaad ii bixin lahaydeen indhihiinna oo aad i siin lahaydeen, hadday suurtowbi lahayd.

¹⁶so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

¹⁶Haddaba cadowgiinnii miyaan noqday runta aan idiin sheego aawadeed?

¹⁷they are zealous for you — [yet] not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous;

¹⁷Aad bay idinku doondoonayaan si aan wanaagsanayn, laakiin waxay doonaan inay idinka kaayo xidhaan, si aad idinku iyaga u doondoontaan.

¹⁸and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

¹⁸Waa wanaagsan tahay in aad loo doondoono wixii wanaagsan had iyo goorba, oo ayan ahayn markaan idinla joogo oo keliya.

¹⁹my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

¹⁹Carruurtaydiiyey, mar kalaan idin foolanayaa ilaa Masiix idinku dhex abuurmo.

²⁰and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

²⁰Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan haatan idinla joogo oo aan codkayga beddelo, waayo, waan idinka shakiyayaa.

²¹Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear?

²¹Kuwiinna doonaya inay sharciga ka hooseeyaanow, ii sheega. Sharciga miyeydnaan maqlin?

²²for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman,

²²Waayo, waxaa qoran in Ibraahim laba wiil lahaa, kii uu addoonta ka dhalay iyo kii uu naagta xorta ah ka dhalay.

²³but he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the promise;

²³Laakiin kii addoontu xagga jidhkuu ka dhashay, naagta xorta ah keediise ballan buu ku dhashay.

²⁴which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar;

²⁴Waxyaalahanu waa masaal, waayo, dumarkanu waxay ka dhigan yihiin laba axdi, mid Buur Siinay buu ka yimid isagoo u dhalaya addoonnimo, taasu waa Haagaar.

²⁵for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude with her children,

²⁵Haagaartanu waa Buur Siinay oo Carabiya ku taal, oo waxay ka dhigan tahay Yeruusaalemta haatan joogta; waayo, waa la addoonsaday iyada iyo carruurteedaba.

²⁶and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all,

²⁶Laakiinse Yeruusaalemta sare waa xor, waana hooyadeen.

²⁷for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many [are] the children of the desolate — more than of her having the husband.`

²⁷Waayo, waxaa qoran, Faraxsanow, madhalaysta aan dhalinay; Kala bax oo mashxarad, taada aan foolanay; Waayo, tan cidlowday carruurteedu waa ka badan yihiin tan ninka leh kuweeda.

²⁸And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise,

²⁸Innaguna, walaalayaalow, waxaynu nahay carruurtii ballanka sida Isxaaq oo kale.

²⁹but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

²⁹Laakiin markaas kii jidhka ka dhashay wuxuu silciyey kii Ruuxa ka dhashay, haatanna waa sidaas oo kale.

³⁰but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;`

³⁰Laakiin maxaa Qorniinku leeyahay? Addoonta iyo wiilkeedaba eri, waayo, wiilka addoontu dhaxal la wadaagi maayo wiilka naagta xorta ah.Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalayaalow, innagu ma nihin addoon carruurteed, laakiinse waxaynu nahay naagta xorta ah carruurteed.

³¹then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant`s children, but the free-woman`s.

³¹Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalayaalow, innagu ma nihin addoon carruurteed, laakiinse waxaynu nahay naagta xorta ah carruurteed.
