Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my request to God is for them, for their salvation.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
ⲃ̅ϯⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ.
3 For they do not know of God's righteousness, and they seek to establish their own righteousness. They did not submit to the righteousness of God.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲁϩⲉⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.
ⲇ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ·
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the law: “The man who does the righteousness of the law will live by this righteousness.”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says this, “Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);
ⲋ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
7 and do not say, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
ⲍ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.” That is the word of faith, which we proclaim.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
9 For if with your mouth you acknowledge Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲅⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲛ̅ⲁⲱⲛϩ̅.
10 For with the heart man believes for righteousness, and with the mouth he acknowledges for salvation.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
11 For scripture says, “Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ.
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is Lord of all, and he is rich to all who call upon him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ. ⲡⲓϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
14 How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? How can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without a preacher?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ.
15 Then how can they preach, unless they are sent?—As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim glad tidings of good things!”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲩⲧⲙ̅ϫⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
16 But they did not all listen to the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲧⲉ. ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 But I say, “Did they not hear?” Yes, most certainly. “Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲱϩ ϣⲁⲁⲣⲏϫⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
19 Moreover, I say, “Did Israel not know?” First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by what is not a nation. By means of a nation without understanding, I will stir you up to anger.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ. ϣⲁⲣⲉⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϯⲕⲱϩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ϯⲛⲁϯⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ.
20 Then Isaiah was very bold when he says, “I was found by those who did not seek me. I appeared to those who did not ask for me.”
ⲕ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉⲏ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ.
21 But to Israel he says, “All the day long I reached out my hands to a disobedient and stubborn people.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲣϣ̅ⲛⲁϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅.
