Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
Pavel hlapec Božji in apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, po veri izvoljenih Božjih in spoznanji resnice po pobožnosti;
2 upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, (aiōnios g166)
Na zaupanje večnega življenja, katero je obljubil Bog resnični pred večnimi časi; (aiōnios g166)
3 (and He manifested in proper times His word, ) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,
A o svojem času je razodel besedo svojo v naznanilu, katero je bilo meni izročeno po povelji rešitelja našega, Boga:
4 to Titus — true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!
Titu, pravemu detetu po družni veri, milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa rešitelja našega!
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;
Za to sem te pustil v Kreti, da popraviš pomanjkljivo, in nastaviš po mestu starejšine, kakor sem ti jaz ukazal;
6 if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate —
Če je kdo neoponosen, ene žene mož, otroke imajoč verne, ki niso na glasu razuzdanosti, ali nepokorni.
7 for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Vladika namreč bodi neoponosen, kakor oskrbnik Božji, ne samovšečen, ne nagle jeze, ne pijanec, ne pretepalec, ne grdega zaslužka;
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,
Nego gostoljuben, dobrega prijatelj, zmeren, pravičen, svet, zdržen,
9 holding — according to the teaching — to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;
Držeč se verne besede po uku, da bode zmožen tudi opominjati v zdravem uku, in izpodbijati nasproti govoreče.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers — especially they of the circumcision —
Kajii mnogo je trdovratnih blebetačev in sleparjev, zlasti iz obreze,
11 whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.
katerim je treba usta zamašiti; kateri cele hiše narobe obračajo, učeč, česar bi ne smeli, za grd dobiček.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said — 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'
Rekel je nekdo izmed njih, lasten njih prorok: "Kréčani vedno lažniki, grde zveri, leni trebuhi."
13 this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
To pričalo je resnično; zatorej jih svári osorno, da bodejo zdravi v veri,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;
Ne poslušajoč basni judovskih in ukazov ljudî, ki se obračajo od resnice.
15 all things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast [is] nothing pure, but of them defiled [are] even the mind and the conscience;
Vse je čisto čistim; oskrunjenim pa in nevernim ni nič čisto; nego oskrunila sta se jim um in vest.
16 God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.
Boga pravijo da poznajo, v delih pa ga zatajujejo, ker so ljudje ostudni in nepokorni in za vsako dobro delo malo pridni.
