< Hebrews 2 >

1 Because of this we ought to give more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest we might slip away.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲧⲏⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁⲧⲉ.
2 For if the word spoken through agents became certain, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲉⲩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
3 how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲓ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
4 God also testifying simultaneously by signs and wonders, and by various powers and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ.
5 For he did not subject the coming world to agents, about which we speak.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ·
6 But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him?
ⲋ̅ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕϭⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ.
7 Thou made him a little something less than the agents. Thou crowned him with glory and honor.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲕϭⲟϫⲃⲉϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲕⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲕⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ.
8 Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲕⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ.
9 But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲃⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
10 For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲡⲣⲉⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ.
11 For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ
12 saying, I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to thee.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
13 And again, I will be a man who has trusted in him. And again, Behold, I and the children that God has given me.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
14 Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲁⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
15 And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲡⲗϭ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ. ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ.
16 For he certainly did not embrace agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ.
18 For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.
