1 anantajīvanasyāśātō jātāyā īśvarabhaktē ryōgyasya satyamatasya yat tatvajñānaṁ yaśca viśvāsa īśvarasyābhirucitalōkai rlabhyatē tadarthaṁ (aiōnios g166)

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

2 yīśukhrīṣṭasya prērita īśvarasya dāsaḥ paulō'haṁ sādhāraṇaviśvāsāt mama prakr̥taṁ dharmmaputraṁ tītaṁ prati likhami|

in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)

3 niṣkapaṭa īśvara ādikālāt pūrvvaṁ tat jīvanaṁ pratijñātavān svanirūpitasamayē ca ghōṣaṇayā tat prakāśitavān|

but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

4 mama trāturīśvarasyājñayā ca tasya ghōṣaṇaṁ mayi samarpitam abhūt| asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ paritrātā prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca tubhyam anugrahaṁ dayāṁ śāntiñca vitaratu|

to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

5 tvaṁ yad asampūrṇakāryyāṇi sampūrayē rmadīyādēśācca pratinagaraṁ prācīnagaṇān niyōjayēstadarthamahaṁ tvāṁ krītyupadvīpē sthāpayitvā gatavān|

I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;

6 tasmād yō narō 'nindita ēkasyā yōṣitaḥ svāmī viśvāsinām apacayasyāvādhyatvasya vā dōṣēṇāliptānāñca santānānāṁ janakō bhavati sa ēva yōgyaḥ|

if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

7 yatō hētōradyakṣēṇēśvarasya gr̥hādyakṣēṇēvānindanīyēna bhavitavyaṁ| tēna svēcchācāriṇā krōdhinā pānāsaktēna prahārakēṇa lōbhinā vā na bhavitavyaṁ

For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

8 kintvatithisēvakēna sallōkānurāgiṇā vinītēna nyāyyēna dhārmmikēṇa jitēndriyēṇa ca bhavitavyaṁ,

but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;

9 upadēśē ca viśvastaṁ vākyaṁ tēna dhāritavyaṁ yataḥ sa yad yathārthēnōpadēśēna lōkān vinētuṁ vighnakāriṇaśca niruttarān karttuṁ śaknuyāt tad āvaśyakaṁ|

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

10 yatastē bahavō 'vādhyā anarthakavākyavādinaḥ pravañcakāśca santi viśēṣataśchinnatvacāṁ madhyē kēcit tādr̥śā lōkāḥ santi|

For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

11 tēṣāñca vāgrōdha āvaśyakō yatastē kutsitalābhasyāśayānucitāni vākyāni śikṣayantō nikhilaparivārāṇāṁ sumatiṁ nāśayanti|

whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

12 tēṣāṁ svadēśīya ēkō bhaviṣyadvādī vacanamidamuktavān, yathā, krītīyamānavāḥ sarvvē sadā kāpaṭyavādinaḥ| hiṁsrajantusamānāstē 'lasāścōdarabhārataḥ||

One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."

13 sākṣyamētat tathyaṁ, atō hētōstvaṁ tān gāḍhaṁ bhartsaya tē ca yathā viśvāsē svasthā bhavēyu

This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

14 ryihūdīyōpākhyānēṣu satyamatabhraṣṭānāṁ mānavānām ājñāsu ca manāṁsi na nivēśayēyustathādiśa|

not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.

15 śucīnāṁ kr̥tē sarvvāṇyēva śucīni bhavanti kintu kalaṅkitānām aviśvāsināñca kr̥tē śuci kimapi na bhavati yatastēṣāṁ buddhayaḥ saṁvēdāśca kalaṅkitāḥ santi|

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

16 īśvarasya jñānaṁ tē pratijānanti kintu karmmabhistad anaṅgīkurvvatē yatastē garhitā anājñāgrāhiṇaḥ sarvvasatkarmmaṇaścāyōgyāḥ santi|

They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
