Titus 3
1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Spomni jih, naj bodo podrejeni kneževinam in oblastem, da se podredijo avtoritetam, da so pripravljeni za vsako dobro delo,
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
da o nobenem človeku ne govorijo hudobno, da niso razgrajači, temveč blagi in izkazujejo vso krotkost do vseh ljudi.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Kajti tudi mi sami smo bili včasih nespametni, neposlušni, zavedeni in [smo] služili raznim poželenjem ter užitkom in živeli v zlobnosti ter zavisti, osovraženi in [smo] sovražili drug drugega.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,
Toda potem se je prikazala prijaznost in človekoljubnost Boga, našega Odrešenika,
5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Rukha d'Qudsha,
ne z deli pravičnosti, ki smo jih storili, temveč nas je rešil glede na njegovo usmiljenje, s kopeljo prerojenja in obnovitve Svetega Duha;
6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua Meshikha our Savior;
ki ga je po Jezusu Kristusu, našem Odrešeniku, obilno izlil na nas;
7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
da naj bi, opravičeni po njegovi milosti, postali dediči glede na upanje večnega življenja. (aiōnios g166)
8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;
To je zvesto govorjenje in te stvari hočem, da nenehno izjavljaš, da bodo tisti, ki verujejo v Boga, lahko pazljivi, da skrbijo za dobra dela. Te stvari so dobre in koristne ljudem.
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Toda izogibaj se neumnih vprašanj in rodovnikov in sporov ter pričkanj glede postave; kajti te so nekoristne in prazne.
10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;
Človeka, ki je krivoverec, po prvem in drugem svarilu zavrni;
11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
vedoč, da kdor je takšen, je spodkopan in greši in sam od sebe obsojen.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
Ko bom k tebi poslal Artemája ali Tihika si prizadevaj, da prideš k meni v Nikópolo, kajti sklenil sem, da tam prezimim.
13 Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
Zenája, izvedenca v postavi in Apola marljivo pospremi na njuno pot, da jima ne bo ničesar manjkalo.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
In naj se tudi naši naučijo, da obdržijo dobra dela za potrebne zadeve, da ne bodo brez sadu.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
Pozdravljajo te vsi, ki so z menoj. Pozdravi tiste, ki nas imajo radi v veri. Milost bodi z vami vsemi. Amen. [To je bilo napisano Titu, prvemu posvečenemu duhovnemu nadzorniku cerkve Krečanov, iz Nikópole v Makedoniji.]
