Titus 3
1 Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,
te yathā deśādhipānāṁ śāsakānāñca nighnā ājñāgrāhiṇśca sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇe susajjāśca bhaveyuḥ
2 to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone.
kamapi na nindeyu rnivvirodhinaḥ kṣāntāśca bhaveyuḥ sarvvān prati ca pūrṇaṁ mṛdutvaṁ prakāśayeyuśceti tān ādiśa|
3 For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures—living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
yataḥ pūrvvaṁ vayamapi nirbbodhā anājñāgrāhiṇo bhrāntā nānābhilāṣāṇāṁ sukhānāñca dāseyā duṣṭatverṣyācāriṇo ghṛṇitāḥ parasparaṁ dveṣiṇaścābhavāmaḥ|
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
kintvasmākaṁ trāturīśvarasya yā dayā marttyānāṁ prati ca yā prītistasyāḥ prādurbhāve jāte
5 He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
vayam ātmakṛtebhyo dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kṛpātaḥ punarjanmarūpeṇa prakṣālanena pravitrasyātmano nūtanīkaraṇena ca tasmāt paritrāṇāṁ prāptāḥ
6 This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
sa cāsmākaṁ trātrā yīśukhrīṣṭenāsmadupari tam ātmānaṁ pracuratvena vṛṣṭavān|
7 so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
itthaṁ vayaṁ tasyānugraheṇa sapuṇyībhūya pratyāśayānantajīvanasyādhikāriṇo jātāḥ| (aiōnios g166)
8 This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.
vākyametad viśvasanīyam ato hetorīśvare ye viśvasitavantaste yathā satkarmmāṇyanutiṣṭheyustathā tān dṛḍham ājñāpayeti mamābhimataṁ|tānyevottamāni mānavebhyaḥ phaladāni ca bhavanti|
9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
mūḍhebhyaḥ praśnavaṁśāvalivivādebhyo vyavasthāyā vitaṇḍābhyaśca nivarttasva yatastā niṣphalā anarthakāśca bhavanti|
10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
yo jano bibhitsustam ekavāraṁ dvirvvā prabodhya dūrīkuru,
11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
yatastādṛśo jano vipathagāmī pāpiṣṭha ātmadoṣakaśca bhavatīti tvayā jñāyatāṁ|
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
yadāham ārttimāṁ tukhikaṁ vā tava samīpaṁ preṣayiṣyāmi tadā tvaṁ nīkapalau mama samīpam āgantuṁ yatasva yatastatraivāhaṁ śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ matim akārṣaṁ|
13 Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.
vyavasthāpakaḥ sīnā āpalluścaitayoḥ kasyāpyabhāvo yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ tau yatnena tvayā visṛjyetāṁ|
14 And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.
aparam asmadīyalokā yanniṣphalā na bhaveyustadarthaṁ prayojanīyopakārāyā satkarmmāṇyanuṣṭhātuṁ śikṣantāṁ|
15 All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
mama saṅginaḥ savve tvāṁ namaskurvvate| ye viśvāsād asmāsu prīyante tān namaskuru; sarvveṣu yuṣmāsvanugraho bhūyāt| āmen|
