< Romans 10 >

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
ⲃ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ 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.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲁϩⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
4 For Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
ⲇ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ·
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
ⲉ̅ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down);
ⲋ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
7 or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)" (Abyssos g12)
ⲍ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
9 because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲅⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲛ̅ⲁⲱⲛϩ̅.
10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ. ⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
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? And how will they hear without someone preaching?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ.
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲩⲧⲙ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
16 But they did not all listen to the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲉ. ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 But I ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts of the world."
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲁⲣⲏϫⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
19 But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ϯⲛⲁϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ.
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."
ⲕ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ.
21 But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲣϣ̅ⲛⲁϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅.
