< Hebrews 2 >

1 Therefore we must give far more attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲧⲏⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁⲧⲉ.
2 For if the message that was spoken through the angels proved to be so reliable, and every trespass and disobedience receives just punishment,
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲉⲩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
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.
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲁⲛⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲓ ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
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.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ.
5 For it was not to the angels that God subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ 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 ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲕϭⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ.
7 You made man a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲕϭⲟϫⲃⲉϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲕⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲁⲕⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ.
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.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲕⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ 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 ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥⲉϫⲓϯⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.
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 ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲓⲥⲉ.
11 For both the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have one source. So he is not ashamed to call them brothers.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϣⲓⲡⲉ 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 ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ 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 ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
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 ⲁⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϭⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
15 This was so that he would free all those who through fear of death lived all their lives in slavery.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲡⲗϭ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ. ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲉⲛⲟⲭⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ.
18 Because Jesus himself has suffered and was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
