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,
Pavao, sluga Božji i apostol Isusa Krista poradi vjere izabranika Božjih i spoznanja istine usmjerene k pobožnosti
2 Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: (aiōnios g166)
u nadi života vječnoga što ga, prije vremena vjekovječnih, obeća Bog, On koji ne laže, (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:
a u svoje doba očitova riječ svoju u propovijedanju koje je meni povjereno po odredbi Spasitelja našega, Boga:
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.
Titu, pravomu sinu po zajedničkoj vjeri, milost i mir od Boga i Krista Isusa, Spasitelja našega!
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,
Poradi toga ostavih te na Kreti da urediš preostalo te po gradovima postaviš starješine kako sam ti ja odredio:
6 If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.
je li tko besprigovoran, jedne žene muž, jesu li mu djeca vjernici i ne pod optužbom raskalašenosti ili nepokorna...
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,
Jer nadstojnik kao Božji upravitelj treba da bude besprigovoran: ne samoživ, ne jedljiv, ne vinu sklon, ni nasilju, ni prljavu dobitku,
8 But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
nego gostoljubiv, ljubitelj dobra, razuman, pravedan, svet, uzdržljiv,
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.
priljubljen uz vjerodostojnu riječ nauka da može i hrabriti u zdravom nauku i uvjeravati protivnike.
10 For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,
Jer mnogi su nepokorni, praznorječni i zavodnici, ponajpače oni iz obrezanja.
11 Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.
Njima treba začepiti usta jer cijele domove prevraćaju naučavajući što ne bi smjeli, i to poradi prljava dobitka.
12 One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.
Reče netko od njih, njihov vlastiti prorok: “Krećani uvijek lašci, opake zvijeri, trbusi dangubni.”
13 This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,
Svjedočanstvo je to istinito. Zato ih karaj oštro da budu zdravi u vjeri,
14 And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.
da ne prianjaju uza židovske bajke i propise ljudi koji se odvraćaju od istine.
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.
Sve je čisto čistima; okaljanima pak i nevjernima ništa čisto, nego su im okaljani i razum i savjest.
16 They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
Ispovijedaju da Boga poznaju, ali djelima ga niječu - odvratni, neposlušni i za koje god dobro djelo nepodesni.
