tītaḥ 3
1 tē yathā dēśādhipānāṁ śāsakānāñca nighnā ājñāgrāhiṇśca sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇē susajjāśca bhavēyuḥ
Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 kamapi na nindēyu rnivvirōdhinaḥ kṣāntāśca bhavēyuḥ sarvvān prati ca pūrṇaṁ mr̥dutvaṁ prakāśayēyuścēti tān ādiśa|
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
3 yataḥ pūrvvaṁ vayamapi nirbbōdhā anājñāgrāhiṇō bhrāntā nānābhilāṣāṇāṁ sukhānāñca dāsēyā duṣṭatvērṣyācāriṇō ghr̥ṇitāḥ parasparaṁ dvēṣiṇaścābhavāmaḥ|
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 kintvasmākaṁ trāturīśvarasya yā dayā marttyānāṁ prati ca yā prītistasyāḥ prādurbhāvē jātē
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,
5 vayam ātmakr̥tēbhyō dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kr̥pātaḥ punarjanmarūpēṇa prakṣālanēna pravitrasyātmanō nūtanīkaraṇēna ca tasmāt paritrāṇāṁ prāptāḥ
not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 sa cāsmākaṁ trātrā yīśukhrīṣṭēnāsmadupari tam ātmānaṁ pracuratvēna vr̥ṣṭavān|
whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
8 vākyamētad viśvasanīyam atō hētōrīśvarē yē viśvasitavantastē yathā satkarmmāṇyanutiṣṭhēyustathā tān dr̥ḍham ājñāpayēti mamābhimataṁ|tānyēvōttamāni mānavēbhyaḥ phaladāni ca bhavanti|
This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;
9 mūḍhēbhyaḥ praśnavaṁśāvalivivādēbhyō vyavasthāyā vitaṇḍābhyaśca nivarttasva yatastā niṣphalā anarthakāśca bhavanti|
but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 yō janō bibhitsustam ēkavāraṁ dvirvvā prabōdhya dūrīkuru,
Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;
11 yatastādr̥śō janō vipathagāmī pāpiṣṭha ātmadōṣakaśca bhavatīti tvayā jñāyatāṁ|
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 yadāham ārttimāṁ tukhikaṁ vā tava samīpaṁ prēṣayiṣyāmi tadā tvaṁ nīkapalau mama samīpam āgantuṁ yatasva yatastatraivāhaṁ śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ matim akārṣaṁ|
When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 vyavasthāpakaḥ sīnā āpalluścaitayōḥ kasyāpyabhāvō yanna bhavēt tadarthaṁ tau yatnēna tvayā visr̥jyētāṁ|
Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14 aparam asmadīyalōkā yanniṣphalā na bhavēyustadarthaṁ prayōjanīyōpakārāyā satkarmmāṇyanuṣṭhātuṁ śikṣantāṁ|
Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 mama saṅginaḥ savvē tvāṁ namaskurvvatē| yē viśvāsād asmāsu prīyantē tān namaskuru; sarvvēṣu yuṣmāsvanugrahō bhūyāt| āmēn|
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
