[@leonardobuscemi3752]

Thank you very much for this! Do you have any other recordings like this, such as the prologue of St. John's Gospel, or a Psalm of David? Could you be persuaded to do more short recordings of passages of Sacred Scripture? For now, I will work on the Our Father. Thank you for doing this. And please let me know if I can find more anywhere.

what does isoo in coptic mean (jesus).... what does the word acctually mean in coptic

[@drworm-s6z]

I'm super late, but if you still haven't found the answer, it's simply a transliteration. This means that it's just using the Coptic alphabet to match the sounds. It's like how we write "Ivan", when in Russian it's Иван. The name "Jesus" wouldn't have been recognizabe to the real person. English got it from Latin, which got it from Greek, which got it from Hebrew and/or Aramaic (Jesus would've spoken the latter, but could still have a Hebrew name just like many people do today). Coptic is basically the last form of Ancient Egyptian before it was supplanted by Arabic after the Islamic conquest of North Africa. It's written in a variation of the Greek alphabet that was taken on when Alexander the Great (who of course spoke Greek) conquered the area. Early Coptic Christians, in turn, borrowed much of their Christian vocabulary from Greek. So the Coptic name for Jesus is basically the Coptic prononciation of the Greek version of his name, Ἰησοῦς ("Ee-yei-soos"). In reality, Jesus' name was actually the same as what came to be Joshua in English.

If I may ask, which language group does Coptic belong to, please?

[@Avtandil_74]

It's in the Egyptian branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family, though it is considerably different from the other members of the family, like Hebrew, Amharic, Arabic, etc. It probably was mixed with at least one another language in antiquity, and then got lots of Greek influence after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, plus more Greek from when they became Christian.
