< Hebrews 4 >
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you might seem to have failed [of it].
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
2 For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲛϥⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ
3 For we enter into the rest who have believed; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest; although the works had been completed from [the] foundation of [the] world.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲱⲣⲕ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
4 For he has said somewhere of the seventh [day] thus, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works:
ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
5 and in this again, If they shall enter into my rest.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some enter into it, and those who first received the glad tidings did not enter in on account of not hearkening to the word,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ
7 again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲡⲣϫ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲣϯⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
8 For if Jesus had brought them into rest, he would not have spoken afterwards about another day.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ
9 There remains then a sabbatism to the people of God.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
10 For he that has entered into his rest, he also has rested from his works, as God did from his own.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩϥ
11 Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛϭⲉⲡⲏ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ
12 For the word of God [is] living and operative, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and penetrating to [the] division of soul and spirit, both of joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the] heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϥⲟⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛϩⲟ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲁ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲱϣ ⲛⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛϩⲁⲣⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲗⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲙⲡϩⲏⲧ
13 And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things [are] naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲉϭⲟⲗⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ
14 Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁϥϫⲉⲧ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ
15 For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛϥ ⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϫⲟⲛⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ
16 Let us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.
