< Hebrews 4 >

1 Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
2 For to us were glad tidings addressed, as well as to them; but the word which was heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
3 For we who believed enter into the rest, as he hath said: “So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation 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 hath spoken in a certain place of 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 place again: “They shall not enter into my rest.”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ
6 Since then it still remaineth for some to enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings of it were first brought did not enter in because of disobedience,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
7 he again appointeth a certain day, “To-day”—saying in David so long a time after, as hath before been said—”To-day, if ye 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 had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈.
9 There remaineth therefore a sabbath-rest to the people of God.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
10 For he that hath entered into his rest, hath himself rested from his works, as God did from his own.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 Let us then strive to enter into that rest, that no one may fall, as a like example of disobedience.
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, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents 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 that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲥⲉϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ·
14 Since, then, we have a great high-priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁϥϫⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ
15 For we have not a high-priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who hath in all points been tempted as we are, without sin.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ·
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ.
