< Hebrews 2 >

1 For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.

2 For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,
ⲃ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏ ⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲩϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲉⲃⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲃⲉⲭⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ⲉϥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ.
3 in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,
ⲅ̅ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲉⲣⲁⲙⲉⲗⲉⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
4 with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.

5 For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.

6 But someone, in a certain place, has testified, saying: “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the Son of man, that you visit him?

7 You have reduced him to a little less than the Angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and you have set him over the works of your hands.

8 You have subjected all things under his feet.” For in as much as he has subjected all things to him, he has left nothing not subject to him. But in the present time, we do not yet perceive that all things have been made subject to him.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲕⲧⲁϩⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲕϫⲓϫ ⲁⲕ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲭⲁ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣⲉ ⳿ⲛϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ.
9 Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲉⲃⲓⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲉⲙϯ ⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10 For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁⲥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲙⲕⲁⲩϩ.
11 For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ϥϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
12 “I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.”

13 And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲓ ⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲓ.
14 Therefore, because children have a common flesh and blood, he himself also, in like manner, has shared in the same, so that through death, he might destroy him who held the dominion of death, that is, the devil,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ.
15 and so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ϯϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲣⲁⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛϧ.
16 For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.

17 Therefore, it is fitting for him to be made similar to his brothers in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, in order that he might bring forgiveness to the offenses of the people.

18 For in as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who are tempted.
