< Hebrews 2 >

1 Therefore we must give far more attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲧⲏⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲛϩⲁⲧⲉ
2 For if the message that was spoken through the angels proved to be so reliable, and every trespass and disobedience receives just punishment,
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
3 how then can we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This is salvation that was first announced by the Lord and confirmed to us by those who heard it.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲣⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲓ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ
4 At the same time God testified to it by signs, wonders, and various powerful deeds, and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ
5 For it was not to the angels that God subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ
6 Instead, someone has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or a son of man, that you care for him?
ⲋ̅ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲏ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕϭⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ
7 You made man a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲕϭⲟϫⲃⲉϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲕⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲕⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ
8 You put everything in subjection under his feet.” For it was to him that God has subjected all things. He did not leave anything not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see everything subjected to him.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲕⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁ ⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏ ⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲙⲡϥⲕⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲁⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ
9 But we see him who was made lower than the angels for a little while, Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of his suffering and death, so that by God's grace he might taste death for everyone.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲃⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ
10 For it was proper for God, because everything exists for him and through him, to bring many sons to glory. It was proper for him to make the leader of their salvation complete through his sufferings.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲡⲣⲉⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ϩⲁϩ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ
11 For both the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have one source. So he is not ashamed to call them brothers.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ
12 He says, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers, I will sing about you from inside the assembly.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ
13 And again, “I will trust in him.” And again, “See, here am I and the children whom God has given me.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ
14 Therefore, since the children of God share flesh and blood, Jesus also shared the same things with them, so that through death he would do away with the one who had the power of death, that is, the devil.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ
15 This was so that he would free all those who through fear of death lived all their lives in slavery.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲡⲗϭ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧϩⲙϩⲁⲗ
16 For of course it is not with angels that he is concerned; instead, it is with the seed of Abraham that he is concerned.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
17 So it was necessary for him to become like his brothers in all ways, so that he would be a merciful and faithful high priest in relation to the things of God, and so that he would bring about the pardon of the people's sins.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ
18 Because Jesus himself has suffered and was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
