< Hebrews 4 >
1 Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ.
3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲱⲣⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁϫⲱⲛⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁϩⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
7 he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ϥⲑⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲙⲁⲓⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯⲉⲛϣⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
ⲏ̅⳿ⲉⲛⲉ ⲁ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲕⲉⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
ⲑ̅ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
ⲓ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ.
12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϣⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲏϥⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲟⲧϧⲉⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛⲧ ϩⲏⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲥⲉⲃⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲁⲣⲁⲃ ⲛⲁϩⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲫⲉϩ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
14 Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲥⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
15 For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
16 Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
