Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —

anantajIvanasyAzAto jAtAyA Izvarabhakte ryogyasya satyamatasya yat tatvajJAnaM yazca vizvAsa IzvarasyAbhirucitalokai rlabhyate tadarthaM (aiōnios g166)

2 In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios g166)

yIzukhrISTasya prerita Izvarasya dAsaH paulo'haM sAdhAraNavizvAsAt mama prakRtaM dharmmaputraM tItaM prati likhami|

3 but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:

niSkapaTa Izvara AdikAlAt pUrvvaM tat jIvanaM pratijJAtavAn svanirUpitasamaye ca ghoSaNayA tat prakAzitavAn|

4 Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

mama trAturIzvarasyAjJayA ca tasya ghoSaNaM mayi samarpitam abhUt| asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH paritrAtA prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca tubhyam anugrahaM dayAM zAntiJca vitaratu|

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —

tvaM yad asampUrNakAryyANi sampUraye rmadIyAdezAcca pratinagaraM prAcInagaNAn niyojayestadarthamahaM tvAM krItyupadvIpe sthApayitvA gatavAn|

6 If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;

tasmAd yo naro 'nindita ekasyA yoSitaH svAmI vizvAsinAm apacayasyAvAdhyatvasya vA doSeNAliptAnAJca santAnAnAM janako bhavati sa eva yogyaH|

7 For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

yato hetoradyakSeNezvarasya gRhAdyakSeNevAnindanIyena bhavitavyaM| tena svecchAcAriNA krodhinA pAnAsaktena prahArakeNa lobhinA vA na bhavitavyaM

8 But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,

kintvatithisevakena sallokAnurAgiNA vinItena nyAyyena dhArmmikeNa jitendriyeNa ca bhavitavyaM,

9 Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.

upadeze ca vizvastaM vAkyaM tena dhAritavyaM yataH sa yad yathArthenopadezena lokAn vinetuM vighnakAriNazca niruttarAn karttuM zaknuyAt tad AvazyakaM|

10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —

yataste bahavo 'vAdhyA anarthakavAkyavAdinaH pravaJcakAzca santi vizeSatazchinnatvacAM madhye kecit tAdRzA lokAH santi|

11 Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.

teSAJca vAgrodha Avazyako yataste kutsitalAbhasyAzayAnucitAni vAkyAni zikSayanto nikhilaparivArANAM sumatiM nAzayanti|

12 Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:

teSAM svadezIya eko bhaviSyadvAdI vacanamidamuktavAn, yathA, krItIyamAnavAH sarvve sadA kApaTyavAdinaH| hiMsrajantusamAnAste 'lasAzcodarabhArataH||

13 This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,

sAkSyametat tathyaM, ato hetostvaM tAn gADhaM bhartsaya te ca yathA vizvAse svasthA bhaveyu

14 Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:

ryihUdIyopAkhyAneSu satyamatabhraSTAnAM mAnavAnAm AjJAsu ca manAMsi na nivezayeyustathAdiza|

15 All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;

zucInAM kRte sarvvANyeva zucIni bhavanti kintu kalaGkitAnAm avizvAsinAJca kRte zuci kimapi na bhavati yatasteSAM buddhayaH saMvedAzca kalaGkitAH santi|

16 God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.

Izvarasya jJAnaM te pratijAnanti kintu karmmabhistad anaGgIkurvvate yataste garhitA anAjJAgrAhiNaH sarvvasatkarmmaNazcAyogyAH santi|
