Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϭⲟϫϭϫ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
2 to whom also Abraham divided "a tenth part of everything" (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉϥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the most valuable plunder.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϣ ⲛϭⲟⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲡⲁⲧⲣⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲥ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲱⲗ
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲧⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
ⲍ̅ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲃⲕ ϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲛϩ
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲁϥϫⲓⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
11 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁ ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
17 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ (aiōn g165)
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉⲕ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath,
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ
21 for they indeed have been made priests without an oath, but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'" (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲱⲣⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲧⲏϥ ⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
22 Accordingly Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲁⲓⲏⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲡⲧⲱⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲣⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛϩⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁϭⲱ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲁϫⲛⲱϫⲛ (aiōn g165)
25 Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
26 For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲃⲁⲗϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
27 who does not need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
28 For the Law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the Law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁϥⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲱⲣⲕ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
