< Hebrews 1 >

1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ
2 But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
ⲃ̅ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ (aiōn g165)
3 He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉϥϥⲓ ϩⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ
4 By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
ⲇ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
5 [We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϫⲡⲟⲕ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ
6 And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
ⲋ̅ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲣⲡ ⲙⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
7 [And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
ⲍ̅ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲛϣⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲁⲧⲉ
8 But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
ⲏ̅ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ (aiōn g165)
9 You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲕⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲕⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉ ⲡϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲥⲕ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲏⲗ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲛⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ
10 And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲕⲥⲙⲛⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲕϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲣⲡⲗϭⲉ
12 You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲛⲁⲥⲉϩⲥⲱϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲣϣⲱⲛ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲃⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲕⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲱϫⲛ ⲁⲛ
13 [We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϣⲁⲛϯⲕⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲡⲟⲇⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ
14 The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲏ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
