Titus 1
1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Pavel hlapec Božji in apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, po veri izvoljenih Božjih in spoznanji resnice po pobožnosti;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
Na zaupanje večnega življenja, katero je obljubil Bog resnični pred večnimi časi; (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
A o svojem času je razodel besedo svojo v naznanilu, katero je bilo meni izročeno po povelji rešitelja našega, Boga:
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Titu, pravemu detetu po družni veri, milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa rešitelja našega!
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Za to sem te pustil v Kreti, da popraviš pomanjkljivo, in nastaviš po mestu starejšine, kakor sem ti jaz ukazal;
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Če je kdo neoponosen, ene žene mož, otroke imajoč verne, ki niso na glasu razuzdanosti, ali nepokorni.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Vladika namreč bodi neoponosen, kakor oskrbnik Božji, ne samovšečen, ne nagle jeze, ne pijanec, ne pretepalec, ne grdega zaslužka;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Nego gostoljuben, dobrega prijatelj, zmeren, pravičen, svet, zdržen,
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Držeč se verne besede po uku, da bode zmožen tudi opominjati v zdravem uku, in izpodbijati nasproti govoreče.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Kajii mnogo je trdovratnih blebetačev in sleparjev, zlasti iz obreze,
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
katerim je treba usta zamašiti; kateri cele hiše narobe obračajo, učeč, česar bi ne smeli, za grd dobiček.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Rekel je nekdo izmed njih, lasten njih prorok: "Kréčani vedno lažniki, grde zveri, leni trebuhi."
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
To pričalo je resnično; zatorej jih svári osorno, da bodejo zdravi v veri,
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Ne poslušajoč basni judovskih in ukazov ljudî, ki se obračajo od resnice.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Vse je čisto čistim; oskrunjenim pa in nevernim ni nič čisto; nego oskrunila sta se jim um in vest.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Boga pravijo da poznajo, v delih pa ga zatajujejo, ker so ljudje ostudni in nepokorni in za vsako dobro delo malo pridni.
