Coptic Psalms: Bohairic - English

Aegyptian
edited April 2011 in Hymns Discussion
First of all, happy Easter to all of you!

In order to learn Coptic more thoroughly, I have downloaded the Bible in Coptic, and I want to put the Coptic Bible next to the English Bible.

I've started with Psalm 1. Personally, I think this is a good way to learn Coptic. I hope to make pdf's of every Psalm that we use in the Agpeya, once a week, if the demand is high enough. You can learn more Coptic words by comparing the Coptic verses with the English verse. If you know the basic of grammar, it should be easy to figure out what every word means.
