Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledgement of the truth, which is according to godliness;
Pablo, siervo de Dios y apóstol de Jesucristo, para la fe de los escogidos de Dios, y el conocimiento de la verdad que es conforme a la piedad
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised be fore the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
en la esperanza de la vida eterna, que Dios, el que no miente, prometió antes de los tiempos eternos, (aiōnios g166)
3 but he has in his own times manifested his word by preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
que a su debido tiempo ha dado a conocer su palabra por la predicación a mí confiada por el mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador:
4 to Titus, my true son, according to the common faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
a Tito, hijo verdadero según la fe que nos es común: gracia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Salvador.
5 I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you:
Por esta causa te he dejado en Creta, para que arregles las cosas que faltan y para que constituyas presbíteros en cada ciudad, como yo te ordené,
6 if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, if he has faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, or disobedient.
si hay quien sea irreprochable, marido de una sola mujer, y tenga hijos creyentes, no tachados de libertinaje ni de rebeldía.
7 For the bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means;
Porque el obispo ha de ser irreprochable, como que es dispensador de Dios; no arrogante, no colérico, no dado al vino, no pendenciero, no codicioso de vil ganancia;
8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate,
sino hospitalario, amador del bien, prudente, justo, santo, continente.
9 holding fast the sure word as it is taught, that he may be able, by sound teaching, both to exhort and to convince the opposers.
Debe atenerse a la palabra fiel, la cual es conforme a la enseñanza, a fin de que pueda instruir en la sana doctrina y refutar a los que contradicen.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Porque hay muchos rebeldes, vanos habladores y embaucadores, sobre todo entre los de la circuncisión,
11 whose mouths must be stopped: these subvert whole houses by teaching, for the sake of base gain, things which they ought not to teach.
a quienes es menester tapar la boca; hombres que trastornan casas enteras, enseñando por torpe ganancia lo que no deben.
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said: The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: “Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos”.
13 This testimony is true; wherefore rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
Este testimonio es verdadero. Por tanto repréndelos severamente, a fin de que sean sanos en la fe,
14 and not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn away from the truth.
y no den oídos a fábulas judaicas, ni a mandamientos de hombres apartados de la verdad.
15 To the pure, all things are pure: but to the denied and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their mind and their conscience are denied.
Para los limpios todo es limpio; mas para los contaminados e incrédulos nada hay limpio, pues su mente y conciencia están manchadas.
16 They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him, being detestable and disobedient, and, as it respects every good work, rejected.
Profesan conocer a Dios, mas con sus obras le niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes y réprobos para toda obra buena.
