< Hebrews 5 >

1 Every high priest, taken from among the people, is appointed as their representative in their relations with God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices in expiation of sins.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲁ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ
2 And he is able to sympathise with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to weakness,
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲱⲱϥ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ
3 and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not only for the people, but equally so for himself.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲥ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲁ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲗⲟ ϩⲱⲱϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲟⲃⲉ
4 Nor does anyone take that high office on themselves, until they have been called to do so by God, as Aaron was.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ
5 In the same way, even the Christ did not take the honour of the high priesthood on himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”;
ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϫⲡⲟⲕ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ
6 and on another occasion also – “You are a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲕⲉⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ (aiōn g165)
7 Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲱⲣϣ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϩⲟⲧⲉ
8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from his sufferings;
ⲏ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ
9 and, being made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛⲁⲓⲧⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōnios g166)
10 while God himself pronounced him a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
11 Now on this subject I have much to say, but it is difficult to explain it to you, because you have shown yourselves so slow to learn.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲟϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲕϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ
12 For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need someone to teach you the alphabet of the divine revelation, and need again to be fed with milk instead of with “solid food.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲟⲛ ⲛϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓⲭⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲥϫⲟⲟⲣ
13 For everyone who still has to take milk knows nothing of the teaching of righteousness; they are a mere infant.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
14 But solid food is for Christians of mature faith – those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish right from wrong.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲑⲉⲝⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲁⲓⲥⲑⲏⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲅⲩⲙⲛⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
