提多書 1
1 上帝的僕人，耶穌基督的使徒保羅，憑着上帝選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識，
Poul, the seruaunt of God, and apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the feith of the chosun of God, and bi the knowing of the treuthe, whiche is aftir pitee,
in to the hope of euerlastinge lijf, which lijf God that lieth not, bihiyte bifore tymes of the world; (aiōnios g166)
3 到了日期，藉着傳揚的工夫把他的道顯明了；這傳揚的責任是按着上帝－我們救主的命令交託了我。
but he hath schewid in hise tymes his word in preching, that is bitakun to me bi the comaundement of `God oure sauyour,
4 現在寫信給提多，就是照着我們共信之道作我真兒子的。願恩惠、平安從父上帝和我們的救主基督耶穌歸與你！
to Tite, most dereworthe sone bi the comyn feith, grace and pees of God the fadir, and of Crist Jhesu, oure sauyour.
5 我從前留你在克里特，是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了，又照我所吩咐你的，在各城設立長老。
For cause of this thing Y lefte thee at Crete, that thou amende tho thingis that failen, and ordeyne preestis bi citees, as also Y disposide to thee.
6 若有無可指責的人，只作一個婦人的丈夫，兒女也是信主的，沒有人告他們是放蕩不服約束的，就可以設立。
If ony man is withoute cryme, an hosebonde of o wijf, and hath feithful sones, not in accusacioun of letcherie, or not suget.
7 監督既是上帝的管家，必須無可指責，不任性，不暴躁，不因酒滋事，不打人，不貪無義之財；
For it bihoueth a bischop to be without cryme, a dispendour of God, not proud, not wrathful, not drunkelew, not smytere, not coueytouse of foul wynnyng;
8 樂意接待遠人，好善，莊重，公平，聖潔自持；
but holdinge hospitalite, benygne, prudent, sobre, iust,
9 堅守所教真實的道理，就能將純正的教訓勸化人，又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。
hooli, contynent, takinge that trewe word, that is aftir doctryn; that he be miyti to amoneste in hoolsum techyng, and to repreue hem that ayenseien.
10 因為有許多人不服約束，說虛空話欺哄人；那奉割禮的更是這樣。
For ther ben many vnobedient, and veyn spekeris, and disseyueris, moost thei that ben of circumcisyoun,
11 這些人的口總要堵住。他們因貪不義之財，將不該教導的教導人，敗壞人的全家。
whiche it bihoueth to be repreued; whiche subuerten alle housis, techinge whiche thingis it bihoueth not, for the loue of foul wynnyng.
12 有克里特人中的一個本地先知說：「克里特人常說謊話，乃是惡獸，又饞又懶。」
And oon of hem, her propre profete, seide, Men of Crete ben euere more lyeris, yuele beestis, of slowe wombe.
13 這個見證是真的。所以，你要嚴嚴地責備他們，使他們在真道上純全無疵，
This witnessyng is trewe. For what cause blame hem sore, that thei be hool in feith,
14 不聽猶太人荒渺的言語和離棄真道之人的誡命。
not yyuynge tent to fablis of Jewis, and to maundementis of men, that turnen awei hem fro treuthe.
15 在潔淨的人，凡物都潔淨；在污穢不信的人，甚麼都不潔淨，連心地和天良也都污穢了。
And alle thingis ben clene to clene men; but to vnclene men and to vnfeithful no thing is clene, for the soule and conscience of hem ben maad vnclene.
16 他們說是認識上帝，行事卻和他相背；本是可憎惡的，是悖逆的，在各樣善事上是可廢棄的。
Thei knoulechen that thei knowen God, but bi dedis thei denyen; whanne thei ben abhominable, and vnbileueful, and repreuable to al good werk.
