Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;

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

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)

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

3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

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

4 To Titus, [my] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

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

6 If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.

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

7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

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

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

kintvatithisevakena sallokAnurAgiNA vinItena nyAyyena dhArmmikeNa jitendriyeNa ca bhavitavyaM,

9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

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

10 For there are many disorderly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

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

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

teSAJca vAgrodha Avazyako yataste kutsitalAbhasyAzayAnucitAni vAkyAni zikSayanto nikhilaparivArANAM sumatiM nAzayanti|

12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

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

13 This testimony is true: wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

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

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the truth.

ryihUdIyopAkhyAneSu satyamatabhraSTAnAM mAnavAnAm AjJAsu ca manAMsi na nivezayeyustathAdiza|

15 To the pure all things [are] pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

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

16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
