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;

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

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)

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

3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

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

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.

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 Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

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

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

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

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;

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

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

kintvatithisevakena sallokānurāgiṇā vinītena nyāyyena dhārmmikeṇa jitendriyeṇa ca bhavitavyaṁ,

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.

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

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

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

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

teṣāñca vāgrodha āvaśyako yataste kutsitalābhasyāśayānucitāni vākyāni śikṣayanto nikhilaparivārāṇāṁ sumatiṁ nāśayanti|

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

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

13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

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

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

ryihūdīyopākhyāneṣu satyamatabhraṣṭānāṁ mānavānām ājñāsu ca manāṁsi na niveśayeyustathādiśa|

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.

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

16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

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