Galatians 3
1 O thoughtless Galatians, who bewitched you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes [it] was previously written [about] Jesus Christ having been crucified?
ⲁ̅ⲱ̅ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲗ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲩ̅.
2 I only wish to learn this from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
3 Are you so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now end in the flesh?
ⲅ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
4 So many things you suffered in vain! If, indeed, even in vain.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲓⲕⲏ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲓⲕⲏ
5 He, therefore, who is supplying the Spirit to you and working mighty acts among you—[is it] by works of law or by the hearing of faith?
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲛ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
6 According as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
7 know, then, that those of faith—these are sons of Abraham,
ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
8 and the Writing, having foreseen that God declares righteous the nations by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham:
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ̅ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
9 “All the nations will be blessed in you”; so that those of faith are blessed with the believing Abraham,
ⲑ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
10 for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Scroll of the Law—to do them,”
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ. ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ.
11 and [it] is evident that in law no one is declared righteous with God, because “The righteous will live by faith”;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
12 and the Law is not by faith, rather, “The man who did them will live in them.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us, for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who is hanging on a tree,”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ. ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ.
14 that the blessing of Abraham may come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ·
15 Brothers, I say [it] as a man, no one even makes void or adds to a confirmed covenant of man,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ. ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
16 and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed; He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” which is Christ;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
17 and this I say, a covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the Law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, does not set aside, to make void the promise,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ. ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁⲧⲥ̅ⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
18 for if the inheritance [is] by law, [it is] no longer by promise, but God granted [it] to Abraham through promise.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
19 Why, then, the Law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed might come to which the promise has been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator—
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
20 and the mediator is not of one, but God is one.
ⲕ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ.
21 [Is] the Law, then, against the promises of God? Let it not be! For if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly there would have been righteousness by law,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ. ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ.
22 but the Writing shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
23 And before the coming of faith, we were being kept under law, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
24 so that the Law became our tutor—to Christ, that we may be declared righteous by faith,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
25 and faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲁⲓⲇⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ.
26 for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅·
27 for as many as were immersed into Christ put on Christ;
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
28 there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor freeman, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus;
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅.
29 and if you [are] of Christ then you are seed of Abraham, and heirs according to promise.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ. ⲛ̅ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ.
