< Romans 10 >

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
ⲃ̅ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲉ ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
ⲉ̅ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲓⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
ⲋ̅ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏ ⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩⲛⲁ⳿ϣϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
7 or, 'Who will descend into the Abyss (Abyssos g12)?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"
ⲍ̅ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ϣϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲕϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲕ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
ⲓ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳪ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲓⲱⲓϣ.
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲁⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
16 But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙ.
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
18 But I say, did not they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲉ ⲁ ⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
19 But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϯⲭⲟϩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲕⲁϯ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱⲛⲧ.
20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me.”
ⲕ̅ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ.
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲫⲱⲣϣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲉⲅⲓⲛ
