Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϭⲱ
2 Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲡⲉⲥⲱⲃϣ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϣⲉⲡ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ
3 Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ
4 You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲅⲁⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲧⲃⲃⲏⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲓⲕ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
5 Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
ⲉ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲓϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲣⲉϣⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲃⲟϣⲕ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲕⲁⲁⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ
6 So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
ⲋ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲏⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲃⲟⲏⲑⲟⲥ ⲛϯⲛⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ
7 Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
ⲍ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲛⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
ⲏ̅ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
9 [So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲣϣⲉⲉⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲃⲱ ⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϭⲓⲛⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
10 We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏ ⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ
11 After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲓ ⲡⲉⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲁ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲣⲉⲕϩ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ
12 Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲃⲃⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲩⲗⲏ
13 So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲃⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲛϥⲓ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲛⲟϭⲛⲉϭ
14 Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲥⲛⲁϭⲱ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲥ
15 With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲧⲁⲗⲟ ϭⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲥⲡⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ
16 Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲡⲉⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲛⲉⲓⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
17 Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲛⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϯ ⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲣ ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲁϣⲁϩⲟⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ
18 Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲣⲉⲫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲣ ⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ
20 Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
ⲕ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ (aiōnios g166)
21 So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉϥⲉⲥⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (aiōn g165)
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ
23 I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.

24 Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
