English: now they ejected a lot of dung on my back, and threw up very much dust about me,
Coptic: αυω πκετβνη εtταληυ εροf . αικατοοτ εβολ .
English: and I was obliged to abandon the beast whereon I was riding.
Coptic: αιωs εβολ ον jεπνουτε μννεsληλ . μπαειωτ ετουααβ . απα πεσυνθιοσ πενταfναhμετ ετταπρο ννhοιτε .
English: And again I cried out uttering prayers to God and to my holy father, Apa Pisentius, who had delivered me from the mouths of the hyenas, saying, ' Deliver thou me at this time also from these wolves.'
Coptic: εκεναhμετ ον . τενου ετταπρο ννειουωνs . αυω μπατεπsαjε σωλπ hνρωι . αουα hννωνs ετμμαυ νεjουνοc νhροου

Coptic: αυαναχωρει ναυ τηρου . hιτννεsληλ . μπαειωτ ετουααβ . απα πεσυνθιοσ .
English: and they all turned away and fled in another direction, through the prayers of my holy father, Apa Pisentius.
Coptic: αυαναχωρει ναυ τηρου hιτννεsληλ μπαειωτ ετουααβ . απα πεσυνθειοσ .
English: (Now) they all turned away through the prayers of my father Apa Pisentius.
Coptic: ανοκ δε hωωτ αιβωκ εhητ επτοου ντσντη . ειtεοου μπνουτε εjννενταυsωπε μμοι jεαfναhμετ ετταπρο ννεθηριον ετhοου .
English: Now as for me, I entered into the plain of the mountain of Tsente, and I ascribed glory to God because of what had happened to me, namely that He had delivered me from the mouths of (these) evil beasts.
Coptic: ντεριβωκ δε εhητ . αιhε εροσ ερεππετουααβ . μελητα hννεπροφητησ sημ .
English: And when I had entered into the heart [of the mountain], I found her (i. e. the beast he had abandoned) ; and the holy man was engaged in studying [the book of a] certain prophet.
Coptic: αιjι δε μπτβνη εhουν επεσταυλον . νντβνοουε .
English: Then I took the beast into the shed for the animals,
Coptic: απαειωτ δε cωsτ επεσητ εjωι εβολ hνjοε μππυργοσ .
English: and my father was looking down on me [as I did so] from the wall of the tower.
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεω ιωhαννησ . αιρουω ναf . jεσμου εροι ⲻ παειωτ .
English: And he said unto me, O John; and I made answer to him, saying, 'Bless me, my father!'
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεμπειjοοσ νακ jερsαν νναυ προκοπτει μπρει εhητ . sαντεπναυ νsωρπ sωπε .
English: And he said unto me, 'Have I not told thee that thou art not to travel by the inner road late in the day, and that thou art only to do so in the early morning?
Coptic: παρακεκουι . ανεθωριον ανhαλασκε μμοκ . νσαβηλ ετβετμντναητ μπνουτε .
English: A very little more and the wild beasts would have eaten thee up ; they would have done so now had it not been for the mercy of God.
Coptic: ατετνναυ cε ω ναμερατε jεhωβ νιμ εsαfsωπε sαfειμε εροf . καν εfhμμα νιμ . εsαfsωπε sαfειμε εροf
English: Thus ye may see, O my beloved, that he always knew what was happening, and no matter where the place was wherein any event happened, he was always certain to know about that event.
Coptic: αλλα εfhωπ μμοf . hννεfπολιτεια . νεfουωs αν ετρεεοου επαρωμε πε sωπε ναf . κατατhε νταfjοοσ νcιπσοφοσ παυλοσ jεειsινε αν νσαπεοου ντνρωμε . ουδε ντετηυτν . ουδε ντνcε .
English: But he kept it secret, according to the habit of his life, for he did not desire to give any man cause to give to him the approbation which appertaineth to men, even as the wise man Paul spake, saying, 'I seek not the pnc glory of men, nor of yourselves, nor of others.'
Coptic: ειsανουωs εjω ερωτν ννεhβηυε τηρου ντανναυ εροου νhιτμπhλλο μμακαριοσ απα πεσυνθιοσ . πsαjε νααsαι επεhουο .
English: Now, if I wished to tell you concerning all the works which we have seen done by the blessed old man Apa Pisentius, this discourse would become inordinately long,
Coptic: αλλα νhοσονα τεγραφη . σhαι ναν jενεhβηυε μπνουτε νανου οηονhου εβολ νουον νιμ . ειναjεhενκουι δε νητν εβολ hνhαh ετβεναρετη μπειρωμε ντελιοσ . μννσωσ ντνt μουjωκ μπsαjε .
English: but inasmuch as the Scriptures inform us, saying, ' The works of God are good, make thou them manifest unto every one, I will relate unto you a few more deeds, out of a very large number, concerning the splendid acts of this perfect man, and afterwards we will bring our discourse to a close.
Coptic: ασsωπε δε ον νουhοου αυρωμε ει sαροf εβολ hμπτοs νκβτ . ερεπεfsηρε μοοsε νμμαf εαfει ετθυλικια ετρεfhοτρf εhουν επγαμοσ νσυμνον .
English: Now it came to pass on a day that a certain man came unto him from the district of Kebt (Coptos), and there was travelling with him his son, who had reached a time of life when he might, very properly, have been permitted to undergo the yoke of matrimony.
Coptic: αυβωκ δε εhουν πεσναυ μννευερηυ . αυπαhτου μναυπαhτου hανεfουρηητε .
English: And the two men went together into the presence of [the holy man Apa Pisentius], and they bowed low [before him], and cast themselves down at his feet.
Coptic: πεjεππετουααβ μπρωμε . jεετρεου μπεκjισhιμε . μπεκsηρε
English: And the holy man said unto the man, ' Why hast thou not taken a wife for thy son?
Coptic: νε ουρμκβτ γαρ πε πρωμε ετμμαυ .
English: now that man was an inhabitant of the town of Coptos.
Coptic: αfουωsβ δε νcιπρωμε jεουsηρε sημ πε παειωτ μπατfει ετhιλικια . αυω ουσαβε πε .
English: And the man answered and said, 'My father, he is a mere boy, and hath not yet arrived at the proper age for marriage; and he is prudent.
Coptic: αfουωsβ νcιππετουααβ jεναμε απεκsηρε πορνευε . αυω εκsανκααf . sαfταυετμε .
English: And the holy man answered and said, 'Verily thy son is a habitual fornicator, and if thou permittest him, he will tell [thee] the truth.
Coptic: πεjεπρωμε jεεsωπε αfπορνευε εισhηητε tt μμοf ενεκcιj . ετρεκειρε ναf καταπετερανακ .
English: The man said, 'If he be a fornicator, behold, I will put him into thy hands, so that thou mayest do unto him whatsoever it pleaseth thee.'
Coptic: αfουωsβ νcιπεπροφητησ ετουααβ jεεκsανβωκ εhουν επεκtμε κνααπαντα ευσhιμε . hμπsορπ νhοουτν μπεκtμε .
English: And the holy prophet answered and said, 'When thou goest to enter into thy village thou shalt meet a certain woman in the first street of thy village
Coptic: ετsεερε τε ννιμ νρωμε τε . πετνhητσ . ναρμντρε νακ jεπεκsηρε πενταfνκοτκ νμμασ .
English: she is the daughter of such and such a man, and that which is inside her shall bear witness to thee that it is thy son who hath been sleeping with her.
Coptic: αλλα μπρμεευε . εροι hολωσ jενταιjεπαι hαροι μαηαατ . μμον . αλλα νταυταμοι hιτνhενρωμε νsουπιστευε ναυ .
English: But do not think that I say this wholly and solely of myself, most assuredly not, for I have been informed concerning this matter by certain men who are worthy to be believed.
Coptic: αλλα εκsανσωτμ νσωι κναjιτσ ναf νσhιμε . νhοσον αfθββιοσ .
English: Nevertheless, if thou wilt hearken unto me thou wilt take her for him to wife, inasmuch as he hath humiliated her;
Coptic: αυω ναμε μειανεχε εκααf εσναhε sαντεfjιτσ .
English: and, in truth, I shall be unable to permit him to partake of the Mysteries until he hath taken her to wife.
Coptic: πνομοσ γαρ κελευε jεερsανουρωμε νκοτκ μνουsεερε sημ . μπουsπτοοτσ . νfjιτσ νjναh . νfsωπε νμμασ . εfεtτεcρηηπε νασ νατsαυ ντεcρηηπε νμπαρθενοσ .
English: For the Law commandeth : 'If a man lie with a maiden unto whom he hath not been betrothed, and he take her by force, and he be [found] with her, he shall give fifty 'crowns' to her [father], now fifty shekels is the proper price of a virgin,
Coptic: αυω νfcω μντνταυθββιοσ . καν ουhηκε τε . καν ουρμμαο τε ⲻ
English: and he shall live with her, because he hath humbled her, whether she be a poor maiden or whether she be a rich maiden'
Coptic: τενου cε απδιαβολοσ τρεπεκsηρε hε μντεσhιμε βωκ νγjιτσ ναf .
English: Now therefore, since the Devil made thy son to fall in with the woman, do thou depart, and take her for him to wife.
Coptic: μπρκααf . ρνοβε ντεπνουτε jνουκ ετβεπουjαι ντεfψυχη .
English: Do not give him the opportunity to commit sin, because God will enquire of thee concerning the salvation of his soul.
Coptic: και γαρ εκsανhοτρf επγαμοσ νσεμνον νfhε ον hνκενοβε . ερεπεσνοf μπαι νtμινε ναsωπε εhραι εjωf μαυααf .
English: For if thou wilt make him to enter into the estate of holy matrimony, and he fall afterwards into this sin, his blood by these means shall be on his own head, and on his only.
Coptic: μπρκααf εcνλοιcε εροκ μαυαακ hμνβημα μπεχριστοσ . jεμπεπαειωτ jισhιμε ναι ντεπκυναυνοσ τηρf μπεfνοβε sωπε εhραι εjωκ jεακtσβω ναf hνουλsκs ντhε νταυσημανε . hννεγραφη ετουααβ . ετβεhηλει πουηηβ . jεαftσβω ννεfsηρε hνοηλsκs .
English: Do not give him the chance of making thee alone the excuse for his sin before the throne of the Christ, and of saying, 'My father would not take a wife for me' for then the whole danger of his sin would be upon thee, because thou hast taught him the Law of God carelessly, even as it is pointed out in the Holy Scriptures concerning Eli, the priest, saying, 'He taught his sons the Law of God carelessly.'
Coptic: αfουωsβ νcιπρωμε jεsαjε νιμ ντακjοου ναι tναhαπρεh εροου .
English: Then the man answered and said, ' Every word which thou hast spoken I will truly keep,
Coptic: πετναρατσωτμ γαρ εροκ εfναρατσωτμ νσαπεχριστοσ . εβολ jεhενsαjε νωνh νετνηυ εβολ hντεκταπρο .
English: for he who sheweth himself disobedient to thee sheweth himself disobedient towards the Christ, because the words which come forth from thy mouth are the words of life.
Coptic: πμακαριοσ δε πεjαf jεπχριστοσ εfεsωπε νμμηητν . μοοsε hνουειρηνη .
English: Then the blessed Apa Pisentius said unto him, ' The Lord be with you; depart in peace,'
Coptic: αfει δε εβολ hιτοοτf αfειρε κατατhε νταfhων ετοοτου . αυω απευhητ μτον εματε .
English: and they came away from his presence, and they did as he had commanded them, and their hearts enjoyed great rest.
Coptic: ασsωπε δε ον νουhοου εfπαραγε hννtμε νcιπενπετουααβ νειωτ απα πεσυνθιοσ πεπισκοποσ . εfμουsτ ννεfεκκλησια .
English: And again it came to pass on a day that our holy father Apa Pisentius, the bishop, passed through the village to inspect his churches.
Coptic: ντερfουω δε εfμουsτ μμοου . εfνακτοf δε εhουν ετhενεετε αfπαραγε hιτεhιη μπhωτ εβολ μπhοι αυρωμε νουοι . εινε sαροf νουεhε . ετωf τε . jεεfνασφραγιζε μμοσ .
English: Now when he had finished he looked on them (i. e. the people), and when he was returning to the monastery, and was passing along the way by the canal, a certain husbandman brought to him an ewe which belonged to him in order that he might make the Sign of the Cross over her.
Coptic: αναυ ετcομ μπνουτε .
English: Observe ye now the power of God.
Coptic: ατεσφραγισ νταππετουααβ sωλh μμοσ ετεhε ανεfτηηβε jωωτε εhουν εhητσ .
English: The Sign of the Cross which the holy man made on her with his finger sank down into her womb,
Coptic: ντερεσμισε δε αυhε ετεcφραγισ νταππετουααβ sωλh μμοσ .
English: and when she brought forth her lamb they found on it the Sign of the Cross with which the holy man had marked her.

English: Now if there be among you any one who shall be so bold as to waste his time in trying to refute the statement which I have dared to make to the effect that the holy man, Apa Pisentius, the bishop, is a companion of the Christ, let him come now and consider the words which are in the holy Gospel according to John, and let him hear God crying out by the mouth of His holy and beloved one John the Evangelist, saying, ' Ye are My companions when ye do the things which I have commanded you.
