English: whom the Lord blessed
Coptic: jεαυμερενευsηρε μννευsεερε ντετσαρξ μματε αν . μννετηπ τηρου εροου .

Coptic: αλλα αυμερεουον νιμ ετπιστευε επνουτε . αυω ετhαρεh ενεντολη μπνουτε .

Coptic: jιννsορπ sαhραι εποου νhοου αυω sαενεh .
English: from the beginning until today and forever.
Coptic: εsjεαhενsηρε δε νατσωτμ αυω νρεfρνοβε sωπε ννενειοτε ναρχαιοσ .

Coptic: μπουαθετι ννευsηρε νδικαιοσ ετρευπωτ εβολ μμοου .
English: they did not then remounce their just children in order for them to flee from them
Coptic: ετβεπαsαι νμμντατσβω ννsηρε ετhοου .
English: because of the amount of ignorance of the evil children,
Coptic: αλλα νταυsωωτ εβολ μμοου ννsηρε νρεfρνοβε .

English: and remain with the just children all the days of their lives.
Coptic: ετβεπαι κατατhε νταhαh νsηρε νρεfρνοβε λυπει ννενειοτε ναρχαιοσ .
English: Therefore just as many sinful children cause grief to our ancient ancestors,
Coptic: ται ον τε τhε νταhαh νsηρε νδικαιοσ ευφρανε μμοου .
English: so also many just children bring them joy;
Coptic: αυω κατατhε ετεsαρεπνουτε cωντ νhαh νσοπ hωστε ετρεffωτε εβολ νhαh νλαοσ ναρχαιοσ ετβεhαh νsηρε νρεfρνοβε hραι νhητου .
English: and just as God often becomes angry so to destroy many ancient tribes on account of the many sinful children among them,
Coptic: ται ον τε τhε ετερεπνουτεκτο εβολ ντεfοργη νhαh νσοπ εβολ hιjνhαh νλαοσ ναρχαιοσ . ετβενsηρε νδικαιοσ νταυsωπε hραι νhητου .
English: so also God often turns his anger from many ancient tribes because of the just children among them;
Coptic: αυω κατατhε νταhενμηηsε εναsωου μου hραι hντευμντsαfτε . hραιhνανομια νιμ ετβεhαh μπροφητησ ννουj .
English: and just as a great number [of people] died in their wickedness in every lawlessnes, on account of many false prophets

English: who lived among the many ancient tribes, praising them and deceiving them and drawing the anger of God on them,
Coptic: ται ον τε τhε νταυωνh νcιhενμηηsε εναsωου hραι hνδικαιοσυνη νιμ ετβεhαh μπροφητησ ντεπjοεισ πνουτε
English: so also a great many lived in every righteousness on account of the prophets of the Lord God,
Coptic: εαυsωπε hραι hνhαh νλαοσ ναρχαιοσ ευjω ντμε .
English: who lived among the many ancient tribes, speaking the truth,
Coptic: αυω ευjπιο ννετρνοβε ευμακαριζε ννετειρε μπαγαθον .
English: and blaming sinners and blessing those who do good;

English: and just as some in the ancients tribes were the deceivers (which means the false prophets and the deceptive priests),
Coptic: ται ον τε τhε εhενεβολ νε hννλαοσ ναρχαιοσ νε νεπροφητησ μπjοεισ πνουτε ετεναι νε .
English: so also some in the ancient tribes were prophets of the Lord, such as
Coptic: μωυσησ . μνιησουσ πεπροφητησ . μνησαιασ . μνιερεμιασ . μνιεζεκιηλ .
English: Moses and Joshua the prophet, and Isaiah, Jeremaiah, Ezekial,
Coptic: μννεπροφητησ τηρου ναι νταυjπιο νουον νιμ νταυρνοβε η ετναρνοβε μπεμτο εβολ μπjοεισ .
English: and all the prophets who find fault with everyone who sinned or who will sin in the presence of the Lord,
Coptic: αυω εαυπαρακαλει νουον νιμ νταυειρε η ετναειρε νδικαιοσυνη νιμ
English: and they praise everyone who did, or will do, every righteousness.
Coptic: νεπροφητησ δε τηρου μπjοεισ πνουτε . αυω ναποστολοσ ντεπενjοεισ ιησουσ .
English: But all the prophets of the Lord God and the apostles of our Lord Jesus
Coptic: hενεβολ τηρου νε hμπεσπερμα μπενειωτ αβραhαμ .
English: are all from the seed of our father Abraham,
Coptic: αυω μπουtσο ενεβολ hναβραhαμ ντερουρνοβε μπεμτο εβολ μπνουτε νταfταμιοου .
English: and those from Abraham were not spared when they sinned in the presence of the God who made them,
Coptic: αλλα εαυεινε εhραι εjννευσνηυ νεβολ μμοου νhεννοc νσαhου .
English: but great curses were brought upon their brethren, their kin,
Coptic: κατανετσηh τηρου hμπνομοσ μμωυσησ .
English: as it is written in the law of Moses.
Coptic: αυω ον εαυσμου εουον νιμ νταυtεοου μπjοεισ πνουτε hννευhβηυε νδικαιοσυνη .
English: And also they bless everyone who gives glory to the Lord God by their just works,
Coptic: νhουο δε επεhουο εαυσhουρπροφητησ νιμ ννουj . μννουηηβ τηρου ετπλανα . μναντιχριστοσ νιμ .
English: but even more greatly do they curse every false prophet and all the priests who deceive and every anti-Christ,
Coptic: μννσαh τηρου ννουj μνουον νιμ ετο νατναhτε επενjοεισ ιησουσ jιννsορπ sαhραι ετενου .
English: and all false teachers, and everyone who did not believe in our Lord Jesus from the beginning until now.
Coptic: εsjε νεπροφητησ δε τηρου . αυω ναποστολοσ τηρου . αυω νενειοτε τηρου ναρχαιοσ . αυω νδικαιοσ τηρου jιννsορπ sαhραι εποου νhοου .
English: But if all the prophets, apostles and ancients ancestors and righteous people from the beginning until today
Coptic: hενρωμε νε ευειρε ντμε . αυω ευjω ντμε
English: are people who perform the truth, and speak the truth,
Coptic: jετμε sοοπ hραι νhητου .
English: because the truth is in them,
Coptic: αυω ται τε τhε νταυσοουτν hννευhβηυε τηρου εβολ hιτμπνουτε .
English: and thus they are upstanding in all their deeds through God.
Coptic: ανον hωων ω νεσνηυ μαρνρτμε αυω ντνjω ντμε jεκασ ενεσοουτν hννενhβηυε τηρου .
English: As for us, brethren, let us perform the truth and speak the truth so that we are upstanding in all our works,
Coptic: αυω jεκασ ενεsωπε ενηπ ενεπροφητησ μνναποστολοσ . μννετουααβ τηρου .
English: and so that we might belong to the prophets, apostles and all the saints,
Coptic: αυω ντνρμπsα μπνουτε . jεουμε πε πνουτε .
English: and we would be worthy of God, because God is truthful,
Coptic: αυω ου με πε πενjοεισ ιησουσ παι νταfjοοσ jεανοκ πε τμε .

Coptic: jεεννενsωπε ενηπ επσατανασ .
English: so that we do not belong to Satan,
Coptic: παι ετεμνμε sοοπ hραι νhητf
English: in whom no truth exists,
Coptic: jεουρεfjιcολ πε .
English: because he is a liar
Coptic: αυω μπfαhερατf hνμε ενεh

Coptic: ετβεπαι ρω fσhουορτ εfjο μπcολ μννοβε νιμ hραι hννετενουf νε κατατhε ετσηh .
English: Therefore indeed he is cursed, sowing lies and every sin among his companions, as it is written,
Coptic: πσατανασ .
English: [continued from YA550] Satan.
Coptic: μπωρ ον ετρενsωπε μπροδοτησ . αυω νρεfjιουε . jεννενsωπε ντhε νιουδασ παινταfjοοσ ετβηητf εβολ hιτμπνευμα ετουααβ

English: either a pollution or a defilement, or thieving or lying, or hatred or bragging or hypocrisy, and vainglory.
Coptic: νιμ νε νβαβερωμε . ειμητι εναι ετhμhμ .
English: Who are the braggarts but those who shout,
Coptic: αυω ετκιμ ντευαπε . hνουμακh εfjοσε μνουκιμ νβαλ εhραι εjννετρhμμε μμοου .

Coptic: ετfι μπευροουs . αυω ετtσβω ναυ

Coptic: jεπαι πε πsορsρ νσυναγωγη νιμ νταυρνοβε μπεμτο εβολ μπνουτε jιννsορπ sαhραι εποου νhοου .

Coptic: ντεπνουτε . πωhτ μπεfσαhου εhραι εjων hνουcωντ μνουοργη .

English: our companions so that we repent,
Coptic: jεκασ ερεπjοεισ πωhτ μπεfσμου εhραι εjων hνουνα μνουμντsανhτηf
English: so the Lord can pour his blessing on us mercifully and patiently.
Coptic: πλην εsjε πετεssε πε ετρενjεhαh νsαjε . νητν hντειεπιστολη .

Coptic: jεατσωνε ντατετνταhοσ ερατσ επμα ντεντασμου . αθετι μπhωβ ντατετντοsσ εροf .

English: Because if I know that she refused because she was not capable of bearing up under the task appointed to her, then she can stay peacefully in the rank where she was before.
Coptic: εsωπε δε ντοf ντασαθετι hνουtτων μνουμντατσβω .
English: But if it's the case that she refused argumentatively and ignorantly
Coptic: αυω ντοσ νσjιcολ μπεμτο εβολ μπjοεισ
English: and she lied in the presence of the Lord, saying,
Coptic: jενταιαθετι jεμνcομ μμοι ερπαι .
English: 'I refuse because I am not capable of doing this task.'
Coptic: αυω μννσαhενhοου . η μννσαhενουοειs ντνσωτμ jεντασαθετι hνουμντρεfcναρικε πετνναααf νασ τετναειμε εροf τηρτν .
English: And after some days or after some time should we find out, then you know what it is you shall do to her
Coptic: εβολ jεμπσταμον jενταυjιτσ νcονσ hνου .
English: because she did not inform us that she had been abused administratively
Coptic: η νταυθμκοσ hναs νhωβ .
English: or anyway in which she had been humiliated.
Coptic: εsωπε ον ενsανhε εροσ εhενκοουε νετκωλυ μμοσ ετμτρεσjετμε . νεικοουε ον νετνναααυ ναυ νσεναhωπ αν ερωτν
English: Finally, if we find out that she did not tell the truth because others prevented her, it shall not be hidden from you how we shall punish them.
Coptic: jεντοου αυω ντοσ . αυσμινε νουδιαθηκη μνπcολ hμπsοjνε μπσατανασ .

Coptic: μννσαναι δε εισπhλλο αιτννοουf sαρωτν .

Coptic: jεκασ ετετνναρπμεευε μπνουτε ντετνsνhτητν hαρωτν hατντηυτν . αυω hαρον hωων hατην .
English: so that you can remember God, and pity yourselves, female monks in your community and male monks in ours,
Coptic: ντετνταμον ενειμντρεfτωh τηρου ετhατντηυτν .
English: and you tell us all the disturbances that happen in your community
