Titus 1
1 Poul, the seruaunt of God, and apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the feith of the chosun of God, and bi the knowing of the treuthe, whiche is aftir pitee,
Paulus servus Dei, Apostolus autem Iesu Christi secundum fidem electorum Dei, et agnitionem veritatis, quae secundum pietatem est
2 in to the hope of euerlastinge lijf, which lijf God that lieth not, bihiyte bifore tymes of the world; (aiōnios g166)
in spem vitae aeternae, quam promisit qui non mentitur, Deus, ante tempora saecularia: (aiōnios g166)
3 but he hath schewid in hise tymes his word in preching, that is bitakun to me bi the comaundement of `God oure sauyour,
manifestavit autem temporibus suis verbum suum in praedicatione, quae credita est mihi secundum praeceptum Salvatoris nostri Dei:
4 to Tite, most dereworthe sone bi the comyn feith, grace and pees of God the fadir, and of Crist Jhesu, oure sauyour.
Tito dilecto filio secundum communem fidem, gratia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Iesu Salvatore nostro.
5 For cause of this thing Y lefte thee at Crete, that thou amende tho thingis that failen, and ordeyne preestis bi citees, as also Y disposide to thee.
Huius rei gratia reliqui te Cretae, ut ea, quae desunt, corrigas, et constituas per civitates presbyteros, sicut et ego disposui tibi.
6 If ony man is withoute cryme, an hosebonde of o wijf, and hath feithful sones, not in accusacioun of letcherie, or not suget.
Si quis sine crimine est, unius uxoris vir, filios habens fideles, non in accusatione luxuriae, aut non subditos.
7 For it bihoueth a bischop to be without cryme, a dispendour of God, not proud, not wrathful, not drunkelew, not smytere, not coueytouse of foul wynnyng;
Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 but holdinge hospitalite, benygne, prudent, sobre, iust,
sed hospitalem, benignum, prudentem, sobrium, iustum, sanctum, continentem,
9 hooli, contynent, takinge that trewe word, that is aftir doctryn; that he be miyti to amoneste in hoolsum techyng, and to repreue hem that ayenseien.
amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem: ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos, qui contradicunt, arguere.
10 For ther ben many vnobedient, and veyn spekeris, and disseyueris, moost thei that ben of circumcisyoun,
Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 whiche it bihoueth to be repreued; whiche subuerten alle housis, techinge whiche thingis it bihoueth not, for the loue of foul wynnyng.
quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quae non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.
12 And oon of hem, her propre profete, seide, Men of Crete ben euere more lyeris, yuele beestis, of slowe wombe.
Dixit quidam ex illis, proprius ipsorum propheta: Cretenses semper mendaces, malae bestiae, ventris pigri.
13 This witnessyng is trewe. For what cause blame hem sore, that thei be hool in feith,
Testimonium hoc verum est. Quam ob causam increpa illos dure, ut sani sint in fide,
14 not yyuynge tent to fablis of Jewis, and to maundementis of men, that turnen awei hem fro treuthe.
non intendentes Iudaicis fabulis, et mandatis hominum, aversantium se a veritate.
15 And alle thingis ben clene to clene men; but to vnclene men and to vnfeithful no thing is clene, for the soule and conscience of hem ben maad vnclene.
Omnia munda mundis: coinquinatis autem, et infidelibus nihil est mundum, sed inquinatae sunt eorum et mens, et conscientia.
16 Thei knoulechen that thei knowen God, but bi dedis thei denyen; whanne thei ben abhominable, and vnbileueful, and repreuable to al good werk.
Confitentur se nosse Deum, factis autem negant: cum sint abominati, et incredibiles, et ad omne opus bonum reprobi.
