< 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.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
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.
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϯϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲏ. ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅.
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.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ. ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
ⲇ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ
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,
ⲋ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
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.”
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲡⲣϫ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯⲛ̅ϣⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ⲁϥϣⲱϫⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϥ.
11 Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϭⲉⲡⲏ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ·
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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲟ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ. ⲉϥϫⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲁⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲣⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲧⲕⲁⲥ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲏⲧ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉϥϩⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲥⲉϭⲟⲗⲡ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ·
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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁϥϫⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲑⲉⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉ ϣⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ·
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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ.
