< Hebrews 6 >
1 For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 The teaching of baptisms, and of the putting on of hands, and of the future life of the dead, and of the judging on the last day. (aiōnios )
ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios )
3 Now we will do this, if God lets us.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ. ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ.
4 As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ. ⲉⲁⲩϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲉⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲧⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
5 With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time, (aiōn )
ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲩϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ. (aiōn )
6 And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲁⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ. ⲉⲩⲉⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲅⲙⲁⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
7 For a land, drinking in the frequent rain and producing good plants for those for whom it is worked, has a blessing from God:
ⲍ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲥⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲧϫⲡⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏϭ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ϥⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
8 But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.
ⲏ̅ⲉϥⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ϥⲧⲥ̅ⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲟⲕϩϥ̅·
9 But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;
ⲑ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ.
10 For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲇⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ. ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ.
11 And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϯⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ.
12 So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟϣϥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲛⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲧ. ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
13 For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ
14 Saying, Be certain that I will give you my blessing, and make your numbers very great.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲉⲓⲧⲁϣⲟ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲟⲕ.
15 And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲁⲣϣ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁϥⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
16 For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟϭ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲁϣ.
17 So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲁⲙⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉϥⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ. ⲁϥⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ
18 So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲓϭⲟⲗ· ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈.
19 And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ. ⲉⲥⲟⲣϫ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲥⲃⲏⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ.
20 Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
ⲕ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲇⲣⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ. ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn )
