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,

anantajīvanasyāśāto jātāyā īśvarabhakte ryogyasya satyamatasya yat tatvajñānaṁ yaśca viśvāsa īśvarasyābhirucitalokai rlabhyate tadarthaṁ (aiōnios g166)

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

yīśukhrīṣṭasya prerita īśvarasya dāsaḥ paulo'haṁ sādhāraṇaviśvāsāt mama prakṛtaṁ dharmmaputraṁ tītaṁ prati likhami|

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:

niṣkapaṭa īśvara ādikālāt pūrvvaṁ tat jīvanaṁ pratijñātavān svanirūpitasamaye ca ghoṣaṇayā tat prakāśitavān|

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.

mama trāturīśvarasyājñayā ca tasya ghoṣaṇaṁ mayi samarpitam abhūt| asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ paritrātā prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca tubhyam anugrahaṁ dayāṁ śāntiñca vitaratu|

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,

tvaṁ yad asampūrṇakāryyāṇi sampūraye rmadīyādeśācca pratinagaraṁ prācīnagaṇān niyojayestadarthamahaṁ tvāṁ krītyupadvīpe sthāpayitvā gatavān|

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

tasmād yo naro 'nindita ekasyā yoṣitaḥ svāmī viśvāsinām apacayasyāvādhyatvasya vā doṣeṇāliptānāñca santānānāṁ janako bhavati sa eva yogyaḥ|

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,

yato hetoradyakṣeṇeśvarasya gṛhādyakṣeṇevānindanīyena bhavitavyaṁ| tena svecchācāriṇā krodhinā pānāsaktena prahārakeṇa lobhinā vā na bhavitavyaṁ

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

kintvatithisevakena sallokānurāgiṇā vinītena nyāyyena dhārmmikeṇa jitendriyeṇa ca bhavitavyaṁ,

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.

upadeśe ca viśvastaṁ vākyaṁ tena dhāritavyaṁ yataḥ sa yad yathārthenopadeśena lokān vinetuṁ vighnakāriṇaśca niruttarān karttuṁ śaknuyāt tad āvaśyakaṁ|

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

yataste bahavo 'vādhyā anarthakavākyavādinaḥ pravañcakāśca santi viśeṣataśchinnatvacāṁ madhye kecit tādṛśā lokāḥ santi|

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

teṣāñca vāgrodha āvaśyako yataste kutsitalābhasyāśayānucitāni vākyāni śikṣayanto nikhilaparivārāṇāṁ sumatiṁ nāśayanti|

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

teṣāṁ svadeśīya eko bhaviṣyadvādī vacanamidamuktavān, yathā, krītīyamānavāḥ sarvve sadā kāpaṭyavādinaḥ| hiṁsrajantusamānāste 'lasāścodarabhārataḥ||

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

sākṣyametat tathyaṁ, ato hetostvaṁ tān gāḍhaṁ bhartsaya te ca yathā viśvāse svasthā bhaveyu

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

ryihūdīyopākhyāneṣu satyamatabhraṣṭānāṁ mānavānām ājñāsu ca manāṁsi na niveśayeyustathādiśa|

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.

śucīnāṁ kṛte sarvvāṇyeva śucīni bhavanti kintu kalaṅkitānām aviśvāsināñca kṛte śuci kimapi na bhavati yatasteṣāṁ buddhayaḥ saṁvedāśca kalaṅkitāḥ santi|

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

īśvarasya jñānaṁ te pratijānanti kintu karmmabhistad anaṅgīkurvvate yataste garhitā anājñāgrāhiṇaḥ sarvvasatkarmmaṇaścāyogyāḥ santi|
