Titus 2

1 But you—speak what is suitable [according] to the sound teaching.

١ أَمَّا أَنْتَ، فَعَلِّمْ بِمَا يُوَافِقُ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ:

2 Elders [are] to be temperate, dignified, sober, sound in faith, in the love, in the endurance.

٢ أَنْ يَكُونَ الشُّيُوخُ ذَوِي رَزَانَةٍ وَوَقَارٍ، مُتَعَقِّلِينَ، صَحِيحِي الإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالصَّبْرِ.

3 Aged women, in like manner, in behavior as becomes sacred persons, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,

٣ وَكَذَلِكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْعَجَائِزُ ذَوَاتِ سِيرَةٍ مُوَافِقَةٍ لِلْقَدَاسَةِ، غَيْرَ نَمَّامَاتٍ وَلا مُدْمِنَاتٍ لِلْخَمْرِ، بَلْ مُعَلِّمَاتٍ لِمَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ،

4 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,

٤ لِكَيْ يُدَرِّبْنَ الشَّابَّاتِ عَلَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ مُحِبَّاتٍ لأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ وَلأَوْلادِهِنَّ،

5 sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that evil may not be spoken of the word of God.

٥ مُتَعَقِّلاتٍ، عَفِيفَاتٍ، مُهْتَمَّاتٍ بِشُؤُونِ بُيُوتِهِنَّ صَالِحَاتٍ، خَاضِعَاتٍ لأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ، حَتَّى لَا يَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدٌ بِالسُّوءِ عَلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ.

6 The younger men, in like manner, exhort [them] to be sober-minded.

٦ كَذَلِكَ عِظِ الشُّبَّانَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مُتَعَقِّلِينَ،

7 Concerning all things, present yourself [as] a pattern of good works—in the teaching [with] uncorruptedness, dignity,

٧ جَاعِلاً مِنْ نَفْسِكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قُدْوَةً لِلأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ، مُظْهِراً فِي تَعْلِيمِكَ النَّقَاوَةَ وَالْوَقَارَ

8 sound discourse [that is] blameless, so that he who is of the contrary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.

٨ وَالْكَلِمَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ الَّتِي لَا تُلامُ، لِكَيْ يَخْجَلَ الْمُقَاوِمُ حِينَ لَا يَجِدُ أَمْراً سَيِّئاً يَقُولُهُ فِينَا.

9 Servants [are] to be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,

٩ وَعَلِّمِ الْعَبِيدَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَاضِعِينَ لِسَادَتِهِمْ، مُرْضِينَ لَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ؛ غَيْرَ مُعَانِدِينَ؛

10 not stealing, but showing all good steadfastness, that the teaching of God our Savior they may adorn in all things.

١٠ وَلا سَارِقِينَ، بَلْ مُظْهِرِينَ أَمَانَةً كُلِّيَّةً صَالِحَةً، لِكَيْ يُزَيِّنُوا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْلِيمَ مُخَلِّصِنَا اللهِ.

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,

١١ فَإِنَّ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ الَّتِي تَحْمِلُ مَعَهَا الْخَلاصَ لِجَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، قَدْ ظَهَرَتْ.

12 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, we may live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present age, (aiōn g165)

١٢ وَهِي تُعَلِّمُنَا أَنْ نَقْطَعَ عَلاقَتَنَا بِالإِبَاحِيَّةِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ الْعَالَمِيَّةِ، وَأَنْ نَحْيَا فِي الْعَصْرِ الْحَاضِرِ حَيَاةَ التَّعَقُّلِ وَالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى، (aiōn g165)

13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

١٣ فِيمَا نَنْتَظِرُ تَحْقِيقَ رَجَائِنَا السَّعِيدِ، ثُمَّ الظُّهُورَ العَلَنِيَّ لِمَجْدِ إِلَهِنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا الْعَظِيمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

14 who gave Himself for us, that He might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

١٤ الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا لِكَيْ يَفْتَدِيَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَيُطَهِّرَنَا لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْباً خَاصّاً يَجْتَهِدُ بِحَمَاسَةٍ فِي الأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ.

15 Speak these things, and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise you!

١٥ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ تَكَلَّمْ، وَعِظْ، وَوَبِّخْ بِكُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ، وَلا تَدَعْ أَحَداً يَسْتَخِفُّ بِكَ!
