1[] Ω ανοητοι Γαλαται, τις σας εβασκανεν, ωστε να μη πειθησθε εις την αληθειαν σεις, εμπροσθεν εις τους οφθαλμους των οποιων ο Ιησους Χριστος, διεγραφη εσταυρωμενος μεταξυ σας;
1Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?
2Τουτο μονον θελω να μαθω απο σας· Εξ εργων νομου ελαβετε το Πνευμα, η εξ ακοης της πιστεως;
2I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
3τοσον ανοητοι εισθε; αφου ηρχισατε με το Πνευμα, τωρα τελειονετε με την σαρκα;
3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
4εις ματην επαθετε τοσα; αν μονον εις ματην.
4Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
5Εκεινος λοιπον οστις χορηγει εις εσας το Πνευμα και ενεργει θαυματα μεταξυ σας, εξ εργων νομου καμνει ταυτα η εξ ακοης πιστεως;
5He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
6[] καθως ο Αβρααμ επιστευσεν εις τον Θεον, και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.
6Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
7Εξευρετε λοιπον οτι οι οντες εκ πιστεως, ουτοι ειναι υιοι του Αβρααμ.
7Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.
8Προιδουσα δε η γραφη οτι εκ πιστεως δικαιονει τα εθνη ο Θεος, προηγγειλεν εις τον Αβρααμ οτι θελουσιν ευλογηθη εν σοι παντα τα εθνη.
8The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.” Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18
9Ωστε οι οντες εκ πιστεως ευλογουνται μετα του πιστου Αβρααμ.
9So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10Διοτι οσοι ειναι εξ εργων νομου, υπο καταραν ειναι· επειδη ειναι γεγραμμενον· Επικαταρατος πας οστις δεν εμμενει εν πασι τοις γεγραμμενοις εν τω βιβλιω του νομου, ωστε να πραξη αυτα.
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” Deuteronomy 27:26
11Οτι δε ουδεις δικαιουται δια του νομου ενωπιον του Θεου, ειναι φανερον, διοτι ο δικαιος θελει ζησει εκ πιστεως,
11Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4
12ο δε νομος δεν ειναι εκ πιστεως· αλλ' ο ανθρωπος ο πραττων αυτα θελει ζησει δι' αυτων.
12The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5
13Ο Χριστος εξηγορασεν ημας εκ της καταρας του νομου, γενομενος καταρα υπερ ημων· διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον· Επικαταρατος πας ο κρεμαμενος επι ξυλου.
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” Deuteronomy 21:23
14Δια να ελθη εις τα εθνη η ευλογια του Αβρααμ δια Ιησου Χριστου, ωστε να λαβωμεν την επαγγελιαν του Πνευματος δια της πιστεως.
14that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15Αδελφοι, κατα ανθρωπον ομιλω· ομως και ανθρωπου διαθηκην κεκυρωμενην ουδεις αθετει η προσθετει εις αυτην.
15Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.
16Προς δε τον Αβρααμ ελαληθησαν αι επαγγελιαι και προς το σπερμα αυτου· δεν λεγει, Και προς τα σπερματα, ως περι πολλων, αλλ' ως περι ενος, Και προς το σπερμα σου, οστις ειναι ο Χριστος.
16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn’t say, “To seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “To your seed,” Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7 which is Christ.
17Τουτο δε λεγω· οτι διαθηκην προκεκυρωμενην εις τον Χριστον υπο του Θεου ο μετα ετη τετρακοσια τριακοντα γενομενος νομος δεν ακυρονει, ωστε να καταργηση την επαγγελιαν.
17Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18Διοτι εαν η κληρονομια ηναι εκ νομου, δεν ειναι πλεον εξ επαγγελιας· αλλ' εις τον Αβρααμ δι' επαγγελιας εχαρισε ταυτην ο Θεος.
18For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19[] Δια τι λοιπον εδοθη ο νομος; Εξ αιτιας των παραβασεων προσετεθη, εωσου ελθη το σπερμα, προς το οποιον εγεινεν η επαγγελια, διαταχθεις δι' αγγελων δια χειρος μεσιτου·
19What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20ο δε μεσιτης δεν ειναι ενος, ο Θεος ομως ειναι εις.
20Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21Ο νομος λοιπον εναντιος των επαγγελιων του Θεου ειναι; Μη γενοιτο. Διοτι εαν ηθελε δοθη νομος δυναμενος να ζωοποιηση, η δικαιοσυνη ηθελεν εισθαι τωοντι εκ του νομου·
21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
22η γραφη ομως συνεκλεισε τα παντα υπο την αμαρτιαν, δια να δοθη η επαγγελια εκ πιστεως Ιησου Χριστου εις τους πιστευοντας.
22But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23Πριν δε ελθη η πιστις, εφρουρουμεθα υπο τον νομον συγκεκλεισμενοι εις την πιστιν, ητις εμελλε να αποκαλυφθη.
23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24Ωστε ο νομος εγεινε παιδαγωγος ημων εις τον Χριστον, δια να δικαιωθωμεν εκ πιστεως.
24So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25αφου ομως ηλθεν η πιστις, δεν ειμεθα πλεον υπο παιδαγωγον.
25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26Διοτι παντες εισθε υιοι Θεου δια της πιστεως της εν Χριστω Ιησου·
26For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.
27επειδη οσοι εβαπτισθητε εις Χριστον, Χριστον ενεδυθητε.
27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28Δεν ειναι πλεον Ιουδαιος ουδε Ελλην, δεν ειναι δουλος ουδε ελευθερος, δεν ειναι αρσεν και θηλυ· διοτι παντες σεις εισθε εις εν Χριστω Ιησου·
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29εαν δε ησθε του Χριστου, αρα εισθε σπερμα του Αβρααμ και κατα την επαγγελιαν κληρονομοι.
29If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise.
