< Titus 3 >
1 Remind them to subordinate themselves to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
te yathā deśādhipānāṁ śāsakānāñca nighnā ājñāgrāhiṇśca sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇe susajjāśca bhaveyuḥ
2 to slander no one, to be peaceable, gentle, demonstrating true humility to all men.
kamapi na nindeyu rnivvirodhinaḥ kṣāntāśca bhaveyuḥ sarvvān prati ca pūrṇaṁ mṛdutvaṁ prakāśayeyuśceti tān ādiśa|
3 Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another.
yataḥ pūrvvaṁ vayamapi nirbbodhā anājñāgrāhiṇo bhrāntā nānābhilāṣāṇāṁ sukhānāñca dāseyā duṣṭatverṣyācāriṇo ghṛṇitāḥ parasparaṁ dveṣiṇaścābhavāmaḥ|
4 But when the kindness of our Savior God and His love toward mankind manifested itself,
kintvasmākaṁ trāturīśvarasya yā dayā marttyānāṁ prati ca yā prītistasyāḥ prādurbhāve jāte
5 He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
vayam ātmakṛtebhyo dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kṛpātaḥ punarjanmarūpeṇa prakṣālanena pravitrasyātmano nūtanīkaraṇena ca tasmāt paritrāṇāṁ prāptāḥ
6 whom 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 might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios )
itthaṁ vayaṁ tasyānugraheṇa sapuṇyībhūya pratyāśayānantajīvanasyādhikāriṇo jātāḥ| (aiōnios )
8 The above is a trustworthy statement and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be concerned to take the lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for mankind.
vākyametad viśvasanīyam ato hetorīśvare ye viśvasitavantaste yathā satkarmmāṇyanutiṣṭheyustathā tān dṛḍham ājñāpayeti mamābhimataṁ|tānyevottamāni mānavebhyaḥ phaladāni ca bhavanti|
9 But avoid foolish arguments and genealogies and contentions and disputes about the law, because they are unprofitable and useless.
mūḍhebhyaḥ praśnavaṁśāvalivivādebhyo vyavasthāyā vitaṇḍābhyaśca nivarttasva yatastā niṣphalā anarthakāśca bhavanti|
10 Excommunicate a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
yo jano bibhitsustam ekavāraṁ dvirvvā prabodhya dūrīkuru,
11 knowing that such a person has been perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
yatastādṛśo jano vipathagāmī pāpiṣṭha ātmadoṣakaśca bhavatīti tvayā jñāyatāṁ|
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to spend the winter there.
yadāham ārttimāṁ tukhikaṁ vā tava samīpaṁ preṣayiṣyāmi tadā tvaṁ nīkapalau mama samīpam āgantuṁ yatasva yatastatraivāhaṁ śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ matim akārṣaṁ|
13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way without delay, that they may lack nothing.
vyavasthāpakaḥ sīnā āpalluścaitayoḥ kasyāpyabhāvo yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ tau yatnena tvayā visṛjyetāṁ|
14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet pressing needs, that they not be unfruitful.
aparam asmadīyalokā yanniṣphalā na bhaveyustadarthaṁ prayojanīyopakārāyā satkarmmāṇyanuṣṭhātuṁ śikṣantāṁ|
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
mama saṅginaḥ savve tvāṁ namaskurvvate| ye viśvāsād asmāsu prīyante tān namaskuru; sarvveṣu yuṣmāsvanugraho bhūyāt| āmen|
