Titus 3

1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

te yathā deśādhipānāṁ śāsakānāñca nighnā ājñāgrāhiṇśca sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇe susajjāśca bhaveyuḥ

2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.

kamapi na nindeyu rnivvirodhinaḥ kṣāntāśca bhaveyuḥ sarvvān prati ca pūrṇaṁ mṛdutvaṁ prakāśayeyuśceti tān ādiśa|

3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

yataḥ pūrvvaṁ vayamapi nirbbodhā anājñāgrāhiṇo bhrāntā nānābhilāṣāṇāṁ sukhānāñca dāseyā duṣṭatverṣyācāriṇo ghṛṇitāḥ parasparaṁ dveṣiṇaścābhavāmaḥ|

4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,

kintvasmākaṁ trāturīśvarasya yā dayā marttyānāṁ prati ca yā prītistasyāḥ prādurbhāve jāte

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 Holy Spirit,

vayam ātmakṛtebhyo dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kṛpātaḥ punarjanmarūpeṇa prakṣālanena pravitrasyātmano nūtanīkaraṇena ca tasmāt paritrāṇāṁ prāptāḥ

6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

sa cāsmākaṁ trātrā yīśukhrīṣṭenāsmadupari tam ātmānaṁ pracuratvena vṛṣṭavān|

7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

itthaṁ vayaṁ tasyānugraheṇa sapuṇyībhūya pratyāśayānantajīvanasyādhikāriṇo jātāḥ| (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;

vākyametad viśvasanīyam ato hetorīśvare ye viśvasitavantaste yathā satkarmmāṇyanutiṣṭheyustathā tān dṛḍham ājñāpayeti mamābhimataṁ|tānyevottamāni mānavebhyaḥ phaladāni ca bhavanti|

9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

mūḍhebhyaḥ praśnavaṁśāvalivivādebhyo vyavasthāyā vitaṇḍābhyaśca nivarttasva yatastā niṣphalā anarthakāśca bhavanti|

10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;

yo jano bibhitsustam ekavāraṁ dvirvvā prabodhya dūrīkuru,

11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

yatastādṛśo jano vipathagāmī pāpiṣṭha ātmadoṣakaśca bhavatīti tvayā jñāyatāṁ|

12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

yadāham ārttimāṁ tukhikaṁ vā tava samīpaṁ preṣayiṣyāmi tadā tvaṁ nīkapalau mama samīpam āgantuṁ yatasva yatastatraivāhaṁ śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ matim akārṣaṁ|

13 Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

vyavasthāpakaḥ sīnā āpalluścaitayoḥ kasyāpyabhāvo yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ tau yatnena tvayā visṛjyetāṁ|

14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

aparam asmadīyalokā yanniṣphalā na bhaveyustadarthaṁ prayojanīyopakārāyā satkarmmāṇyanuṣṭhātuṁ śikṣantāṁ|

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.

mama saṅginaḥ savve tvāṁ namaskurvvate| ye viśvāsād asmāsu prīyante tān namaskuru; sarvveṣu yuṣmāsvanugraho bhūyāt| āmen|
