1 STF Ali mislim: dok je naslednik mlad, niљta se ne razlikuje do roba, iako je gospodar od svega, BSB BSB: What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything.
2 STF nego je pod starateljima i upraviteljima sve do roka oиina. BSB BSB: He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.
3 STF Tako i mi: kad smo bili mladi, bili smo zarobljeni pod elementima sveta, BSB BSB: So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world.
5 STF da iskupi one koji su pod zakonom, da primimo posinaљtvo. BSB BSB: to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.
6 STF I buduжi da ste sinovi, posla Bog Duha Sina svoga u srca naљa, koji viиe: Ava, Oиe! BSB BSB: And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
7 STF Tako nisi viљe rob, nego sin; a ako si sin, i naslednik si kroz Boga. BSB BSB: So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
8 STF Ali tada, ne znajuжi Boga, sluћiste ropski bogovima koji po sebi nisu to. BSB BSB: Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 STF No sad, poznavљi Boga, ili joљ bolje: poznati od Boga, kako se vraжate opet na slabe i jadne elemente, kojima opet iznova hoжete ropski da sluћite? BSB BSB: But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 STF Pazite na dane, mesece, vremena i godine! BSB BSB: You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 STF Bojim se za vas da se nisam uzalud trudio oko vas. BSB BSB: I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain.
12 STF Budite kao ja љto sam, jer sam i ja kao љto ste vi. Braжo, molim vas! Niљta mi niste na ћao uиinili! BSB BSB: I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.
13 STF A znate da sam vam prviput zbog telesne slabosti propovedao evanрelje, BSB BSB: You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.
14 STF i iskuљenja svoga na telu mome niste prezreli, niti ste (preda mnom pljuvali, nego ste me primili kao anрela Boћjeg, kao Hrista Isusa. BSB BSB: And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.
15 STF Pa gde je vaљe blaћenstvo? Jer vam svedoиim da biste tada, kad bi bilo moguжe, oиi svoje izvadili i dali meni. BSB BSB: What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
16 STF Postadoh li vam, dakle, neprijatelj љto vam istinu govorim? BSB BSB: Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 STF Ne revnuju dobro za vas, nego hoжe da vas odvoje, da bi vi revnovali za njih! BSB BSB: Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.
18 STF A dobro je svagda revnovati u dobru, a ne samo kad sam ja kod vas. BSB BSB: Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.
19 STF Deco moja, koju opet s mukom raрam, dok Hristovo obliиje ne postane u vama: BSB BSB: My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
20 STF hteo bih da sam sad kod vas i da menjam glas svoj, jer ne znam љto bih i kako bih s vama! BSB BSB: how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.
21 STF Kaћite mi, vi koji hoжete pod zakonom da budete, ne иujete li zakona? BSB BSB: Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
22 STF Jer je napisano da Avram dva sina imade, jednoga od robinje i jednoga od slobodne. BSB BSB: For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
23 STF Ali onaj od robinje rodio se obiиno, a onaj od slobodne po obeжanju. BSB BSB: His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
24 STF To je u slici reиeno: ovo su, naime, dva saveza, jedan od Sinajske gore, koji raрa za robovanje, i to je Agara. BSB BSB: These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.
25 STF Jer je Agar Sinaj gora u Arapskoj. A odgovara sadaљnjem Jeruslimu, jer (i) ovaj robuje s decom svojom. BSB BSB: Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26 STF A gornji Jerusalim slobodan je, i on je naљa mati. BSB BSB: But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
27 STF Jer je napisano: "Raduj se, nerotkinjo koja ne raрaљ, klikni i poviиi, ti koja ne trpiљ muke poroрajne, jer ostavljena ima viљe dece nego ona koja ima muћa". BSB BSB: For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”
28 STF A vi ste, braжo, kao i Isak, deca obeжanja. BSB BSB: Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
29 STF No, kao љto je onda onaj koji se rodio obiиno, gonio onoga koji se rodio иudesno, tako i sad. BSB BSB: At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.
30 STF Ali љta kaћe pismo? "Isteraj robinju i sina njezina, jer sin robinjin neжe naslediti sa sinom slobodne". BSB BSB: But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
31 STF Tako, braжo, nismo deca robinjina, nego slobodne. BSB BSB: Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
