Hebrews 7
1 For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him--
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϭⲟϫϭϫ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
2 to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ
3 with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉϥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ
4 Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϣ ⲛϭⲟⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲡⲁⲧⲣⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲥ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲱⲗ
5 And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲧⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
6 But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ
7 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
ⲍ̅ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲃⲕ ϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲛϩ
9 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲁϥϫⲓⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
10 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
11 Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ
12 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
13 He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁ ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
15 And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
17 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ
19 for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉⲕ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
20 And since it was not without an oath being taken--
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ
21 for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever" -- (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲱⲣⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲧⲏϥ ⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
22 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲁⲓⲏⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲡⲧⲱⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲣⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛϩⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁϭⲱ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲁϫⲛⲱϫⲛ (aiōn g165)
25 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
26 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲃⲁⲗϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
27 who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
28 For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣⲁϥⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲱⲣⲕ ⲉⲧⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
