Titus 1

1 Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines,

١ بُولُسُ، عَبْدُ ٱللهِ، وَرَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِأَجْلِ إِيمَانِ مُخْتَارِي ٱللهِ وَمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ حَسَبُ ٱلتَّقْوَى،

2 Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: (aiōnios g166)

٢ عَلَى رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ بِهَا ٱللهُ ٱلْمُنَزَّهُ عَنِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، قَبْلَ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَزَلِيَّةِ، (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour:

٣ وَإِنَّمَا أَظْهَرَ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا ٱلْخَاصَّةِ، بِٱلْكِرَازَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهَا، بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ،

4 To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour.

٤ إِلَى تِيطُسَ، ٱلِٱبْنِ ٱلصَّرِيحِ حَسَبَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلْمُشْتَرَكِ: نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا.

5 For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee,

٥ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَرَكْتُكَ فِي كِرِيتَ لِكَيْ تُكَمِّلَ تَرْتِيبَ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلنَّاقِصَةِ، وَتُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ شُيُوخًا كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ.

6 If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.

٦ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِلَا لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ، لَيْسُوا فِي شِكَايَةِ ٱلْخَلَاعَةِ وَلَا مُتَمَرِّدِينَ.

7 For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,

٧ لِأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأُسْقُفُ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ كَوَكِيلِ ٱللهِ، غَيْرَ مُعْجِبٍ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَلَا غَضُوبٍ، وَلَا مُدْمِنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَلَا ضَرَّابٍ، وَلَا طَامِعٍ فِي ٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ،

8 But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,

٨ بَلْ مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، مُحِبًّا لِلْخَيْرِ، مُتَعَقِّلًا، بَارًّا، وَرِعًا، ضَابِطًا لِنَفْسِهِ،

9 Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it.

٩ مُلَازِمًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ ٱلصَّادِقَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِحَسَبِ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ قَادِرًا أَنْ يَعِظَ بِٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلصَّحِيحِ وَيُوَبِّخَ ٱلْمُنَاقِضِينَ.

10 For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,

١٠ فَإِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَيَخْدَعُونَ ٱلْعُقُولَ، وَلَاسِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنَ ٱلْخِتَانِ،

11 Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.

١١ ٱلَّذِينَ يَجِبُ سَدُّ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقْلِبُونَ بُيُوتًا بِجُمْلَتِهَا، مُعَلِّمِينَ مَا لَا يَجِبُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرِّبْحِ ٱلْقَبِيحِ.

12 One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.

١٢ قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ لَهُمْ خَاصٌّ: «ٱلْكِرِيتِيُّونَ دَائِمًا كَذَّابُونَ. وُحُوشٌ رَدِيَّةٌ. بُطُونٌ بَطَّالَةٌ».

13 This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,

١٣ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّهَادَةُ صَادِقَةٌ. فَلِهَذَا ٱلسَّبَبِ وَبِّخْهُمْ بِصَرَامَةٍ لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا أَصِحَّاءَ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ،

14 And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.

١٤ لَا يُصْغُونَ إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ، وَوَصَايَا أُنَاسٍ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ ٱلْحَقِّ.

15 Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled.

١٥ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِرٌ لِلطَّاهِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا لِلنَّجِسِينَ وَغَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ طَاهِرًا، بَلْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ ذِهْنُهُمْ أَيْضًا وَضَمِيرُهُمْ.

16 They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.

١٦ يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ يُنْكِرُونَهُ، إِذْ هُمْ رَجِسُونَ غَيْرُ طَائِعِينَ، وَمِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ مَرْفُوضُونَ.
