Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅.
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ. ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ.
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ·
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲉⲡⲡⲉϥⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ.
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲧⲙⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϣⲁⲩⲉⲡⲧⲉϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ.
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲱⲃⲥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
9 [Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ϫⲛ̅ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲡⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ. ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ. ϫⲛ̅ⲉϥϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉϥϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ.
11 And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ.
13 Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ. ⲏ̅ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ.
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅.
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩⲟⲣⲅⲏ. ⲡⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
16 Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅.
17 even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲛϩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ.
18 who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲕⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
19 And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϭⲃ̅ⲃⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲣ̅ⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲣⲁ.
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
ⲕ̅ⲉⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲁϥϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲁⲁϥ.
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ.
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲁϩϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
24 but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲥⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
