1 ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲟⲭ ⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲓⲏⲥ

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;

2 ⲃ̅ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟϥ ⲛⲑⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ

who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

3 ⲅ̅ ⲁⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟϥ

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

4 ⲇ̅ ⲏ ⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

5 ⲉ̅ ⲡⲕⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

6 ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲡϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ

but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

7 ⲍ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ

Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

8 ⲏ̅ ⲙⲡⲣϯⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲑⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲙⲡϯϭⲛⲁⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

9 ⲑ̅ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ

Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years.

10 ⲓ̅ ⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ

Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲱⲣⲕ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ

As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϭⲱϣⲧ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ

Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲉ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁⲛϭⲱⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ

for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲣϯⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲑⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲙⲡϯϭⲛⲁⲧ

while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲩϯϭⲛⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲕⲏⲙⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ

For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩϣⲁⲩ ϩⲉ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲁⲓⲉ

And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ

And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
