< Hebrews 1 >

1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
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)
ⲃ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ (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].
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ. ⲉϥϥⲓ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ. ⲉⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ.
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].
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲡ̅ ⲉⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ 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].
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲡⲟⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ 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 ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ. ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
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 ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉ.
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)
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡϭⲉⲣⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ. (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.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲕⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲕⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉⲡϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲥⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲏⲗ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛⲉⲑⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ.
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 ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲁⲕⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ.
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲕϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲗ̅ϭⲉ.
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 ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣ̅ϣⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲕⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲱϫⲛ̅ 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]!
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲛϯⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲡⲟⲇⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ.
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 ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲗⲓⲧⲟⲩⲣⲅⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
