< Hebrews 4 >
1 Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall short of it.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
2 For glad tidings have been proclaimed to us, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them; not being mixed with faith in them who heard it.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
3 For we, who have believed, do enter into the rest, as he said, "So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"; namely, from the works that were finished at the formation of the world.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
4 For he has spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day, thus: "And God rested on the seventh day, from all his works."
ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 And in this, again, "They shall not enter into my rest."
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ
6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief:
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
7 again, he limits a certain day, saying, by David, "To-day," after so long a time; as it is said, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲡⲣϫ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯⲛ̅ϣⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
8 For, if Joshua has caused them to rest, he would not, after that, have spoken of another day.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈.
9 There remains, therefore, a divine rest for the people of God.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
10 For he who has entered into his rest, has himself, also, rested from his own works, like as God, also, rested from his.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲉϥϫⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲁⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲣⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲧⲕⲁⲥ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ.
13 And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an account.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲥⲉϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ·
14 Now, having a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁϥϫⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ
15 For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ·
16 Let us, therefore, approach, with boldness, to the throne of favor, that we may receive mercy, and obtain favor for the purpose of seasonable help.
