< تِيطُس 1 >
بُولُسُ، عَبْدُ ٱللهِ، وَرَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِأَجْلِ إِيمَانِ مُخْتَارِي ٱللهِ وَمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ حَسَبُ ٱلتَّقْوَى، | ١ 1 |
To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety;
عَلَى رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ بِهَا ٱللهُ ٱلْمُنَزَّهُ عَنِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، قَبْلَ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَزَلِيَّةِ، (aiōnios ) | ٢ 2 |
I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, (aiōnios )
وَإِنَّمَا أَظْهَرَ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا ٱلْخَاصَّةِ، بِٱلْكِرَازَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهَا، بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ، | ٣ 3 |
but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.
إِلَى تِيطُسَ، ٱلِٱبْنِ ٱلصَّرِيحِ حَسَبَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلْمُشْتَرَكِ: نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا. | ٤ 4 |
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَرَكْتُكَ فِي كِرِيتَ لِكَيْ تُكَمِّلَ تَرْتِيبَ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلنَّاقِصَةِ، وَتُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ شُيُوخًا كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ. | ٥ 5 |
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed you;
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِلَا لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ، لَيْسُوا فِي شِكَايَةِ ٱلْخَلَاعَةِ وَلَا مُتَمَرِّدِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.
لِأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأُسْقُفُ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ كَوَكِيلِ ٱللهِ، غَيْرَ مُعْجِبٍ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَلَا غَضُوبٍ، وَلَا مُدْمِنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَلَا ضَرَّابٍ، وَلَا طَامِعٍ فِي ٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ، | ٧ 7 |
For indeed a presiding officer, as God’s steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre;
بَلْ مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، مُحِبًّا لِلْخَيْرِ، مُتَعَقِّلًا، بَارًّا، وَرِعًا، ضَابِطًا لِنَفْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled.
مُلَازِمًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلصَّادِقَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِحَسَبِ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ قَادِرًا أَنْ يَعِظَ بِٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلصَّحِيحِ وَيُوَبِّخَ ٱلْمُنَاقِضِينَ. | ٩ 9 |
He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.
فَإِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَخْدَعُونَ ٱلْعُقُولَ، وَلَاسِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْخِتَانِ، | ١٠ 10 |
For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجِبُ سَدُّ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقْلِبُونَ بُيُوتًا بِجُمْلَتِهَا، مُعَلِّمِينَ مَا لَا يَجِبُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ. | ١١ 11 |
for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre’s sake, teach what they ought not to teach.
قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ لَهُمْ خَاصٌّ: «ٱلْكِرِيتِيُّونَ دَائِمًا كَذَّابُونَ. وُحُوشٌ رَدِيَّةٌ. بُطُونٌ بَطَّالَةٌ». | ١٢ 12 |
By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
هَذِهِ ٱلشَّهَادَةُ صَادِقَةٌ. فَلِهَذَا ٱلسَّبَبِ وَبِّخْهُمْ بِصَرَامَةٍ لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا أَصِحَّاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، | ١٣ 13 |
This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,
لَا يُصْغُونَ إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ، وَوَصَايَا أُنَاسٍ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِرٌ لِلطَّاهِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا لِلنَّجِسِينَ وَغَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ طَاهِرًا، بَلْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ ذِهْنُهُمْ أَيْضًا وَضَمِيرُهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted.
يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ يُنْكِرُونَهُ، إِذْ هُمْ رَجِسُونَ غَيْرُ طَائِعِينَ، وَمِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ مَرْفُوضُونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.
