Titus 3
1 Be putting them in mind, unto rulerships, unto authorities, to be in submission, to be yielding to rule, for every good work, to be, prepared,
Spomni jih, naj bodo podrejeni kneževinam in oblastem, da se podredijo avtoritetam, da so pripravljeni za vsako dobro delo,
2 To be defaming, no one, to be, averse to strife, considerate, shewing, all, meekness unto all men.
da o nobenem človeku ne govorijo hudobno, da niso razgrajači, temveč blagi in izkazujejo vso krotkost do vseh ljudi.
3 For, even we, used, at one time, to be—thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, 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 graciousness and affection for man of our Saviour God, shone forth,
Toda potem se je prikazala prijaznost in človekoljubnost Boga, našega Odrešenika,
5 Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us—through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the moulding anew of Holy Spirit.—
ne z deli pravičnosti, ki smo jih storili, temveč nas je rešil glede na njegovo usmiljenje, s kopeljo prerojenja in obnovitve Svetega Duha;
6 Which he poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
ki ga je po Jezusu Kristusu, našem Odrešeniku, obilno izlil na nas;
7 In order that, having been declared righteous by his favour, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
da naj bi, opravičeni po njegovi milosti, postali dediči glede na upanje večnega življenja. (aiōnios g166)
8 Faithful, the saying! And, concerning these things, I am minded that thou be strongly affirming, in order that they who have believed God may be careful to be forward, in noble works. These things, are honourable, and profitable unto men;
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, foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strife, and contentions about matters of law, avoid, 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 From a party-man, after a first and second admonition, excuse thyself;
Človeka, ki je krivoverec, po prvem in drugem svarilu zavrni;
11 Knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
vedoč, da kdor je takšen, je spodkopan in greši in sam od sebe obsojen.
12 As soon as I shall send Artemus unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come to me unto Nicopolis; for, there, have I determined to winter.
Ko bom k tebi poslal Artemája ali Tihika si prizadevaj, da prideš k meni v Nikópolo, kajti sklenil sem, da tam prezimim.
13 Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, do thou diligently set forward on their way, in order that, nothing, unto them, may be wanting.
Zenája, izvedenca v postavi in Apola marljivo pospremi na njuno pot, da jima ne bo ničesar manjkalo.
14 Moreover, let our own learn to be forward, in honourable works, for the 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 they who are with me salute thee. Salute thou them who regard us with faithful affection. Favour, 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.]
