2 Timothy 3
1 Be sure of this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲏ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲧ
2 Men will be selfish, mercenary, boastful, haughty, and blasphemous; disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, impure,
ⲃ̅ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲩⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲓ ϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲃⲁⲃⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛϫⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛϫⲁⲧ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩϫⲁϩⲙ
3 incapable of affection, merciless, slanderous, wanting in self-control, brutal, careless of the right,
ⲅ̅ⲛⲣⲉϥⲙⲓϣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲓⲏⲧ ⲛⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
4 treacherous, reckless, and puffed up with pride; they will love pleasure more than they love God;
ⲇ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲇⲟⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲁⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϫⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲙⲙⲁⲓ ϩⲩⲇⲟⲛⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
5 and while they retain the outward form of religion, they will not allow it to influence them. Turn your back on such men as these.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲣⲃ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲁⲣⲛⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲉⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲥⲁϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ
6 For among them are to be found those who creep into homes and captivate weak women — women who, loaded with sins, and slaves to all kinds of passions,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲕ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ
7 are always learning, and yet never able to attain to a real knowledge of the Truth.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲙⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these people, in their turn, oppose the Truth. Their minds are corrupted, and, as regards the Faith, they are utterly worthless.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲁⲙⲃⲣⲏⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲧⲙⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲁⲕⲏⲩⲧ ⲛϫⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
9 They will not, however, make further progress; for their wicked folly will be plain to every one, just as that of Jannes and Jambres was.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
10 But you, Timothy, were a close observer of my teaching, my conduct, my purposes, my faith, my forbearance, my love, and my patient endurance,
ⲓ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲧⲁⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲁⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲡⲁⲧⲱϣ ⲧⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣ ϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲁⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲧⲁϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ
11 as well as of my persecutions, and of the sufferings which I met with at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know what persecutions I underwent; and yet the Lord brought me safe out of all!
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲗⲩⲥⲇⲣⲁ ⲛⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
12 Yes, and all who aim at living a religious life in union with Christ Jesus will have to suffer persecution;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲱⲛϩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲱⲧ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ
13 but wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceived themselves.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲣⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲣⲙ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ
14 You, however, must stand by what you learnt and accepted as true. You know who they were from whom you learnt it;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲥⲃⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲧⲛⲛⲓⲙ
15 and that, from your childhood, you have known the Sacred Writings, which can give you the wisdom that, through belief in Christ Jesus, leads to Salvation.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲕⲥⲟⲃⲕ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲕ ⲉⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
16 Everything that is written under divine inspiration is helpful for teaching, for refuting error, for giving guidance, and for training others in righteousness;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲓϥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲉⲛϩⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲡϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲡⲉϫⲡⲓⲟ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ
17 so that the Servant of God may be perfect himself, and perfectly equipped for every good action.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ
