Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, (according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgment of the truth, which is according to godliness;
Od Pavla, sluge Božijega, a apostola Isusa Hrista po vjeri izbranijeh Božijih, i po poznanju istine pobožnosti,
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised before the times of the ages-- (aiōnios g166)
Za nad vjeènoga života, koji obeæa nelažni Bog prije vremena vjeènijeh, (aiōnios g166)
3 who has now manifested his word, at the proper season, by the proclamation with which I am intrusted, according to the appointment of God our Saviour; )
A javi u vremena svoja rijeè svoju propovijedanjem, koje je meni povjereno po zapovijesti spasitelja našega Boga,
4 to Titus, my genuine son, according to the common faith: Favor, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Titu, pravome sinu po vjeri nas obojice, blagodat, milost, mir od Boga oca i Gospoda Isusa Hrista, spasa našega.
5 For this purpose, I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things left unfinished, and to ordain seniors in every city, as I commanded you.
Zato te ostavih u Kritu da popraviš što je nedovršeno, i da postaviš po svijem gradovima sveštenike, kao što ti ja zapovjedih,
6 If any one be without blame, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not accused of riotous living, nor unruly.
Ako je ko bez mane, jedne žene muž, i ima vjernu djecu, koju ne kore za kurvarstvo ili za nepokornost.
7 For a bishop should be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a striker, not one who makes gain by base methods;
Jer vladika treba da je bez mane, kao Božij pristav; ne koji sebi ugaða, ne gnjevljiv, ne pijanica, ne bojac, ne lakom na pogani dobitak;
8 but hospitable; a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate;
Nego gostoljubiv, blag, pošten, pravedan, svet, èist;
9 holding fast the true doctrine, as he has been taught; that he may be able, by wholesome teaching, both to exhort and to confute the gain-sayers.
Koji se drži vjerne rijeèi po nauci, da bude kadar i svjetovati sa zdravom naukom, i pokarati one koji se protive.
10 For there are many unruly and foolish talked and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Jer ima mnogo neposlušnijeh, praznogovorljivijeh, i umom prevarenijeh, a osobito koji su iz obrezanja,
11 whose mouths must be stopped; who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.
Kojima treba usta zatvoriti; koji cijele kuæe izopaèuju uèeæi što ne treba, poganoga dobitka radi.
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, "The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy bodies."
A reèe neko od njih, njihov prorok: Kriæani svagda lažljivi, zli zvjerovi, besposleni trbusi.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be healthy in the faith--
Svjedoèanstvo je ovo istinito; zaradi toga uzroka karaj ih bez šteðenja, da budu zdravi u vjeri,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and precepts of men who pervert the truth.
Ne slušajuæi Jevrejskijeh gatalica ni zapovijesti ljudi koji se odvraæaju od istine.
15 To the pure, all meats are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving, nothing is pure; for both their understanding and conscience are polluted.
Èistima je sve èisto; a poganima i nevjernima ništa nije èisto, nego je opoganjen njihov i um i savjest.
16 They profess to know God; but by works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
Govore da poznaju Boga, a djelima ga se odrièu; jer su mrski i neposlušni, i ni za kakvo dobro djelo valjani.
