تِيطُس 3

١ 1 ذَكِّرْهُمْ أَنْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلرِّيَاسَاتِ وَٱلسَّلَاطِينِ، وَيُطِيعُوا، وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ،

Remind them to be submissive to their rulers and authorities; let them be obedient, ready for every good work;

٢ 2 وَلَا يَطْعَنُوا فِي أَحَدٍ، وَيَكُونُوا غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمِينَ، حُلَمَاءَ، مُظْهِرِينَ كُلَّ وَدَاعَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

they must speak evil of none, they must not be quarrelsome, but gentle, showing perfect meekness toward all.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّنَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا قَبْلًا أَغْبِيَاءَ، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ، ضَالِّينَ، مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ لِشَهَوَاتٍ وَلَذَّاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، عَائِشِينَ فِي ٱلْخُبْثِ وَٱلْحَسَدِ، مَمْقُوتِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

For we were ourselves once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, passing our lives in malice and envy. We were hateful, and we hated one another.

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ حِينَ ظَهَرَ لُطْفُ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ وَإِحْسَانُهُ -

But when the kindness of God our Saviour, And his love toward men shined forth,

٥ 5 لَا بِأَعْمَالٍ فِي بِرٍّ عَمِلْنَاهَا نَحْنُ، بَلْ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ - خَلَّصَنَا بِغُسْلِ ٱلْمِيلَادِ ٱلثَّانِي وَتَجْدِيدِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

He saved us, not because of any deeds that we had done in righteousness, But because of his own pity for us. He saved us by that washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي سَكَبَهُ بِغِنًى عَلَيْنَا بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا.

which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

٧ 7 حَتَّى إِذَا تَبَرَّرْنَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ، نَصِيرُ وَرَثَةً حَسَبَ رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

In order that being justified by his grace, We might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٨ 8 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ. وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَرِّرَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ، لِكَيْ يَهْتَمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِٱللهِ أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً. فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هِيَ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَٱلنَّافِعَةُ لِلنَّاسِ.

This saying is trustworthy. On this I want you to firmly insist; that those who have faith in God must be careful to maintain honest occupations. Such counsels are good and profitable for men.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُبَاحَثَاتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّةُ، وَٱلْأَنْسَابُ، وَٱلْخُصُومَاتُ، وَٱلْمُنَازَعَاتُ ٱلنَّامُوسِيةُ فَٱجْتَنِبْهَا، لِأَنَّهَا غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ، وَبَاطِلَةٌ.

But avoid foolish questionings and genealogies and dissensions and wranglings about the law; for these are unprofitable and empty.

١٠ 10 اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُبْتَدِعُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِنْذَارِ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ، أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُ.

After a first and second admonition, refuse a man who is causing divisions;

١١ 11 عَالِمًا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا قَدِ ٱنْحَرَفَ، وَهُوَ يُخْطِئُ مَحْكُومًا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ.

you may be sure that such a man is perverted and sinning, and is self-condemned.

١٢ 12 حِينَمَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ أَرْتِيمَاسَ أَوْ تِيخِيكُسَ، بَادِرْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلَى نِيكُوبُولِيسَ، لِأَنِّي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُشَتِّيَ هُنَاكَ.

As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, join me in Nicopolis as quickly as you can, for I have arranged to winter there.

١٣ 13 جَهِّزْ زِينَاسَ ٱلنَّامُوسِيَّ وَأَبُلُّوسَ بِٱجْتِهَادٍ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى لَا يُعْوِزَهُمَا شَيْءٌ.

Speed Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, on their journey diligently.

١٤ 14 وَلْيَتَعَلَّمْ مَنْ لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً لِلْحَاجَاتِ ٱلضَّرُورِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُوا بِلَا ثَمَرٍ.

Let them want nothing, and "let our people learn to devote themselves to honest work to supply the necessities of their teachers," so that they be not unfruitful.

١٥ 15 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي جَمِيعًا. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَنَا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.

All who are with us salute you. Salute those who love me in faith. Grace be with you all.
