< 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,
anantajīvanasyāśātō jātāyā īśvarabhaktē ryōgyasya satyamatasya yat tatvajñānaṁ yaśca viśvāsa īśvarasyābhirucitalōkai rlabhyatē tadarthaṁ (aiōnios )
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios )
yīśukhrīṣṭasya prērita īśvarasya dāsaḥ paulō'haṁ sādhāraṇaviśvāsāt mama prakr̥taṁ 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 svanirūpitasamayē ca ghōṣaṇayā 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 ghōṣaṇaṁ 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 sampūrayē rmadīyādēśācca pratinagaraṁ prācīnagaṇān niyōjayēstadarthamahaṁ tvāṁ krītyupadvīpē 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 yō narō 'nindita ēkasyā yōṣitaḥ svāmī viśvāsinām apacayasyāvādhyatvasya vā dōṣēṇāliptānāñca santānānāṁ janakō bhavati sa ēva yōgyaḥ|
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,
yatō hētōradyakṣēṇēśvarasya gr̥hādyakṣēṇēvānindanīyēna bhavitavyaṁ| tēna svēcchācāriṇā krōdhinā pānāsaktēna prahārakēṇa lōbhinā vā na bhavitavyaṁ
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
kintvatithisēvakēna sallōkānurāgiṇā vinītēna nyāyyēna dhārmmikēṇa jitēndriyēṇa 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.
upadēśē ca viśvastaṁ vākyaṁ tēna dhāritavyaṁ yataḥ sa yad yathārthēnōpadēśēna lōkān vinētuṁ vighnakāriṇaśca niruttarān karttuṁ śaknuyāt tad āvaśyakaṁ|
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
yatastē bahavō 'vādhyā anarthakavākyavādinaḥ pravañcakāśca santi viśēṣataśchinnatvacāṁ madhyē kēcit tādr̥śā lōkāḥ santi|
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
tēṣāñca vāgrōdha āvaśyakō yatastē kutsitalābhasyāśayānucitāni vākyāni śikṣayantō nikhilaparivārāṇāṁ sumatiṁ nāśayanti|
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
tēṣāṁ svadēśīya ēkō bhaviṣyadvādī vacanamidamuktavān, yathā, krītīyamānavāḥ sarvvē sadā kāpaṭyavādinaḥ| hiṁsrajantusamānāstē 'lasāścōdarabhārataḥ||
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
sākṣyamētat tathyaṁ, atō hētōstvaṁ tān gāḍhaṁ bhartsaya tē ca yathā viśvāsē svasthā bhavēyu
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
ryihūdīyōpākhyānēṣu satyamatabhraṣṭānāṁ mānavānām ājñāsu ca manāṁsi na nivēśayēyustathādiśa|
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 kr̥tē sarvvāṇyēva śucīni bhavanti kintu kalaṅkitānām aviśvāsināñca kr̥tē śuci kimapi na bhavati yatastēṣāṁ buddhayaḥ saṁvēdāśca 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 tē pratijānanti kintu karmmabhistad anaṅgīkurvvatē yatastē garhitā anājñāgrāhiṇaḥ sarvvasatkarmmaṇaścāyōgyāḥ santi|
