< Hebrews 9 >

1 [To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ. ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ·
2 [That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲗⲩⲭⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲑⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
4 It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲧϭⲓⲃⲱⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϭⲗ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲙⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯⲟⲩⲱ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲗⲁⲝ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ.
5 On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲭⲉⲣⲟⲩⲃⲓⲛ ⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ ⲉⲡϩⲓⲗⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ.
6 After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ.
7 But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϣⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲁⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ.
8 By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ
9 [The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
ⲑ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ.
10 [They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
ⲓ̅ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲓⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲓⲛⲥⲱ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲩⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ·
11 But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧ̅ⲁ̅ⲡ̅ⲉ̅ⲉ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ⲱ̅ⲛ̅̅̅ⲧ̅ ⲁ̅ⲛ.
12 [When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲉ ϩⲓⲙⲁⲥⲉ. ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲁϥϭⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
13 The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲁⲥⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲣ̅ⲙⲉⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲃⲁϩⲥⲉ. ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϭⲉϣϭϣ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϣⲁⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
14 [So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲟⲥⲱ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ϥⲛⲁⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅. (aiōnios g166)
15 [By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛ̅ⲃⲣ̅ⲣⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ̅ ϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
16 A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ.
17 A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ϩⲓⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲥϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲕⲉϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲁⲉⲓⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲛⲟϥ·
19 After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲕⲕⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲥⲱⲡⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁϥϭⲉϣϭⲱϣϥ̅
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
ⲕ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲕⲉⲩⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲁϥϭⲉϣϭⲱϣⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ.
22 It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲭⲉⲇⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲁⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲧ̅ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ.
23 So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲛⲁⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲧⲡ̅ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈.
24 Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
25 The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϣⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲙⲡⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
26 [If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ.
28 Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
