Hebrews 12
1 We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈. ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲙⲁⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲅⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈.
2 And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
ⲃ̅ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲣⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈. ⲁϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
3 [Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
ⲅ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲏ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲥⲙ̅.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
ⲇ̅ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲱϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲱⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
5 Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲥⲙ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲡⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϣⲁϥⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ϣⲁϥⲙⲁⲥⲧⲓⲅⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲁϣⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
7 It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
ⲍ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
8 So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ.
9 Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
ⲑ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅.
10 Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲣⲟⲥϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲁⲓⲇⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁⲩ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲡ.
11 During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲥⲃⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲥϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲅⲩⲙⲛⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ̅·
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ
13 Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲡⲉⲧϫⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲡⲱϣⲥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲉⲗⲟ·
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
15 Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲕⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲥⲣⲏⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ̅.
16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ. ⲏ̅ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲏⲥⲁⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲓⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁϥϯⲛⲉϥⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲣ̅ⲡⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ.
17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲧⲥ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ. ⲕⲁⲓⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲣⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲏ.
18 In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϭⲟⲙϭⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲧϫⲉⲣⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲟⲥⲙ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲁⲧⲏⲩ.
19 They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲉϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ.
20 When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
ⲕ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϫⲱϩ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲩϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲟⲩⲧⲱⲥ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ· ⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲥⲧⲱⲧ.
22 Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲥⲓⲱⲛ ⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲧⲃⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ.
23 You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲡϣⲁ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.

25 Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]

26 The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”

27 The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲕⲓⲙ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ·
28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
