Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϭⲟϫϭϫ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
2 to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲣⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ϩⲁⲏ ⲛⲱⲛϩ ⲉϥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁⲃⲟⲗ
4 Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϣ ⲛϭⲟⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲡⲁⲧⲣⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏⲥ ϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲱⲗ
5 And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲧⲉ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ
6 but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲧⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ
7 But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
ⲍ̅ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲃⲕ ϫⲓⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
8 And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥⲟⲛϩ
9 and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϣⲁϥϫⲓⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲩϯⲣⲉⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉϥϩⲛ ⲧϯⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
11 If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉⲓ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲁⲣⲱⲛ
12 For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ
13 For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ
14 For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁ ⲧⲉⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ
15 And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ
16 who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲕⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ
17 For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ (aiōn g165)
18 For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛⲧⲁⲧⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ
19 (for the law perfected nothing, ) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉⲕ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
20 And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛⲁⲛⲁϣ
21 (for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec]; ) (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲱⲣⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲧⲏϥ ⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165)
22 by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ ⲁⲓⲏⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϣⲡⲧⲱⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ
23 And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲣⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛϩⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

25 Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲙⲙⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
26 For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲃⲁⲗϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ ⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ
27 who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
28 For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (aiōn g165)
