< تِيطُس 1 >
بُولُسُ، عَبْدُ ٱللهِ، وَرَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِأَجْلِ إِيمَانِ مُخْتَارِي ٱللهِ وَمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ حَسَبُ ٱلتَّقْوَى، | ١ 1 |
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, appointed to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in accordance with godliness,
عَلَى رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ بِهَا ٱللهُ ٱلْمُنَزَّهُ عَنِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، قَبْلَ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَزَلِيَّةِ، (aiōnios ) | ٢ 2 |
in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios )
وَإِنَّمَا أَظْهَرَ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا ٱلْخَاصَّةِ، بِٱلْكِرَازَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهَا، بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ، | ٣ 3 |
in his own time he revealed his word through the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
إِلَى تِيطُسَ، ٱلِٱبْنِ ٱلصَّرِيحِ حَسَبَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلْمُشْتَرَكِ: نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا. | ٤ 4 |
to Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَرَكْتُكَ فِي كِرِيتَ لِكَيْ تُكَمِّلَ تَرْتِيبَ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلنَّاقِصَةِ، وَتُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ شُيُوخًا كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ. | ٥ 5 |
The reason I left yoʋ in Crete was for yoʋ to put in order what remained to be done and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed yoʋ.
إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِلَا لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ، لَيْسُوا فِي شِكَايَةِ ٱلْخَلَاعَةِ وَلَا مُتَمَرِّدِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
An elder must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who are not rebellious and cannot be accused of debauchery.
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 an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for sordid gain,
بَلْ مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، مُحِبًّا لِلْخَيْرِ، مُتَعَقِّلًا، بَارًّا، وَرِعًا، ضَابِطًا لِنَفْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sensible, just, holy, and self-controlled,
مُلَازِمًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلصَّادِقَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِحَسَبِ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ قَادِرًا أَنْ يَعِظَ بِٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلصَّحِيحِ وَيُوَبِّخَ ٱلْمُنَاقِضِينَ. | ٩ 9 |
holding firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others with sound doctrine and refute those who contradict it.
فَإِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَخْدَعُونَ ٱلْعُقُولَ، وَلَاسِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْخِتَانِ، | ١٠ 10 |
For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision faction.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجِبُ سَدُّ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقْلِبُونَ بُيُوتًا بِجُمْلَتِهَا، مُعَلِّمِينَ مَا لَا يَجِبُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ. | ١١ 11 |
They must be silenced, because they are ruining entire households by teaching what they ought not to teach, for the sake of sordid gain.
قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ لَهُمْ خَاصٌّ: «ٱلْكِرِيتِيُّونَ دَائِمًا كَذَّابُونَ. وُحُوشٌ رَدِيَّةٌ. بُطُونٌ بَطَّالَةٌ». | ١٢ 12 |
One of their very own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons.”
هَذِهِ ٱلشَّهَادَةُ صَادِقَةٌ. فَلِهَذَا ٱلسَّبَبِ وَبِّخْهُمْ بِصَرَامَةٍ لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا أَصِحَّاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ، | ١٣ 13 |
This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,
لَا يُصْغُونَ إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ، وَوَصَايَا أُنَاسٍ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
not paying any attention to Jewish myths or the 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 |
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
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 works they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient, and have proven themselves to be unqualified for any good work.
