1Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
1ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
2For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
2ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
3Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
3ⲉⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲉ ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
4For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
4⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
5For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
5ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲓⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
6But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
6ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏ ⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩⲛⲁ⳿ϣϣⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ.
7or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”
7ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ϣϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
8ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
9that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
9ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲕϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲕ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
10For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
10ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
11It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
11⳿ⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ.
12For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
12⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳪ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ.
13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
13ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
14How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
14ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲓⲱⲓϣ.
15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
15ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲁⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
16But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
16ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙ.
17Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
17ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
18But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
18ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲉ ⲁ ⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
19I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
19ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϯⲭⲟϩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲕⲁϯ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱⲛⲧ.
20And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
20ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ.
21But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
