1ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲁ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
1Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3ⲉⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲉ ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ.
4For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϯ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲫⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁⲓⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ.
5For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
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.
6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ϣϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
7or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
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.
8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲕϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲕ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲁ ⲫϯ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
9that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
10For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11⳿ⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ.
11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ⳪ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲙⲁ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ.
12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
13For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲓⲱⲓϣ.
14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
15ⲡⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲁⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉ ⲛⲉⲛϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ.
15And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙ.
16But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲉ ⲁ ⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲫⲟϩ ϣⲁ ⲁⲩⲣⲏϫⲥ ⳿ⲛϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ.
18But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
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.
19But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲏⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ.
20Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
21⳿ϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲡⲓⲥ̅ⲗ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲫⲱⲣϣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲉⲅⲓⲛ
21But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
