< Romans 10 >

1 My Brethren, The desire of my heart, and my intercession with God for them, is, that they might have life.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈
2 For I bear them witness, that there is in them a zeal for God; but it is not according to knowledge.
ⲃ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ.
3 For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲁϩⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
4 For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.
ⲇ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ·
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness, which is by the law, thus: Whoever shall do these things, shall live by them.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
6 But the righteousness which is by faith, saith thus: Thou shalt not say in thy heart, Who ascendeth to heaven, and bringeth Messiah down?
ⲋ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
7 Or, Who descendeth to the abyss of the grave, and bringeth up Messiah from the place of the dead? (Abyssos g12)
ⲍ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what saith it? The thing is near to thy mouth, and to thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
9 And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live.
ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲅⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲛ̅ⲁⲱⲛϩ̅.
10 For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
11 For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ.
12 And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ. ⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
13 For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
14 How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or, how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? Or, how shall they hear, without a preacher?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ.
15 Or, how shall they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of the heralds of peace, and of the heralds of good things?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲩⲧⲙ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
16 But all of them have not obeyed the proclamation of the gospel. (For, Isaiah said: My Lord, who hath believed our proclamation?)
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
17 Therefore, faith is from the hearing of the ear; and the hearing of the ear, is from the word of God.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲉ. ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲁⲣⲏϫⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
19 But I say: Did not Israel know? First, Moses said, thus: I will awaken your emulation, by a people which is not a people; and by a disobedient people, I will provoke you.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ϯⲛⲁϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ.
20 And Isaiah was bold, and said: I was seen by those who sought me not; and I was found by those who inquired not for me.
ⲕ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ.
21 But to Israel, he said: All the day, have I stretched out my hands to a contentious and disobedient people.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲣϣ̅ⲛⲁϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅.
