ⲄⲀⲖⲀⲦⲎⲤ 3
1 ⲁ̅ ⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲫⲑⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ
Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly portrayed amongst you as crucified?
2 ⲃ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏ ⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?
Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
5 ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲭⲟⲣⲏⲅⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles amongst you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲕ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲁϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲁⲩ
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the scroll of the Torah, to do them.”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϣⲟⲡⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϥⲥϩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲉ
Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Messiah Yeshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ
Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Messiah.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲣⲡ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲙⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲧⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲉⲥϥⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Messiah, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ
For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϣϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ
Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϯ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ ⲟⲛⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲩϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who believe.
But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
For you are all children of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua.
For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah.
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲓ ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua.
If you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.
