< 2 Corinthians 7 >

1 Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;
ⲁ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲉⲛϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
2 receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;
ⲃ̅ϣⲟⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ϥⲉϭⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
3 not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲧϭⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ.
4 great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϯϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅·
5 for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within — fears;
ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲧⲛⲉⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲉⲛⲙⲓϣⲉ ϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ. ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ.
6 but He who is comforting the cast-down — God — He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;
ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ. ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
7 and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,
ⲍ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲓⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ̈. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ
8 because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent — if even I did repent — for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.
ⲏ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲓⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲣ̅ϩⲧⲏⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲉⲓϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ
9 I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;
ⲑ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
10 for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
ⲓ̅ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲣ̅ϩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈. ⲧⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ.
11 for, lo, this same thing — your being made sorry toward God — how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉⲉ(ⲓ)ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲃⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ.
12 If, then, I also wrote to you — not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God —
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ
13 because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϥⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
14 because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲁⲧⲏϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲉϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ.
15 and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁⲛϩⲧⲏϥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲧⲱⲧ.
16 I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϯⲧⲏⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ·
