Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Christ Jesus, for the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
anantajīvanasyāśāto jātāyā īśvarabhakte ryogyasya satyamatasya yat tatvajñānaṁ yaśca viśvāsa īśvarasyābhirucitalokai rlabhyate tadarthaṁ (aiōnios g166)
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
yīśukhrīṣṭasya prerita īśvarasya dāsaḥ paulo'haṁ sādhāraṇaviśvāsāt mama prakṛtaṁ dharmmaputraṁ tītaṁ prati likhami|
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word through the preaching with which I was intrusted by the commandment of God our Saviour:
niṣkapaṭa īśvara ādikālāt pūrvvaṁ tat jīvanaṁ pratijñātavān svanirūpitasamaye ca ghoṣaṇayā tat prakāśitavān|
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus 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 I left thee behind in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed thee;
tvaṁ yad asampūrṇakāryyāṇi sampūraye rmadīyādeśācca pratinagaraṁ prācīnagaṇān niyojayestadarthamahaṁ tvāṁ krītyupadvīpe sthāpayitvā gatavān|
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, 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 without reproach, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,
yato hetoradyakṣeṇeśvarasya gṛhādyakṣeṇevānindanīyena bhavitavyaṁ| tena svecchācāriṇā krodhinā pānāsaktena prahārakeṇa lobhinā vā na bhavitavyaṁ
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
kintvatithisevakena sallokānurāgiṇā vinītena nyāyyena dhārmmikeṇa jitendriyeṇa ca bhavitavyaṁ,
9 holding fast the sure word according to what he was taught, that he may be able by sound teaching both to exhort, and to refute 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 vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
yataste bahavo 'vādhyā anarthakavākyavādinaḥ pravañcakāśca santi viśeṣataśchinnatvacāṁ madhye kecit tādṛśā lokāḥ santi|
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
teṣāñca vāgrodha āvaśyako yataste kutsitalābhasyāśayānucitāni vākyāni śikṣayanto nikhilaparivārāṇāṁ sumatiṁ nāśayanti|
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
teṣāṁ svadeśīya eko bhaviṣyadvādī vacanamidamuktavān, yathā, krītīyamānavāḥ sarvve sadā kāpaṭyavādinaḥ| hiṁsrajantusamānāste 'lasāścodarabhārataḥ||
13 This testimony is true; for which cause 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 who turn away from the truth.
ryihūdīyopākhyāneṣu satyamatabhraṣṭānāṁ mānavānām ājñāsu ca manāṁsi na niveśayeyustathādiśa|
15 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are 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 by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
īśvarasya jñānaṁ te pratijānanti kintu karmmabhistad anaṅgīkurvvate yataste garhitā anājñāgrāhiṇaḥ sarvvasatkarmmaṇaścāyogyāḥ santi|
