tītaḥ 3
1 tē yathā dēśādhipānāṁ śāsakānāñca nighnā ājñāgrāhiṇśca sarvvasmai satkarmmaṇē susajjāśca bhavēyuḥ
Put them in mind to submit themselves to governments, to authorities, to obey magistrates, 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, to be averse to strife, forbearing, showing all meekness to all men.
3 yataḥ pūrvvaṁ vayamapi nirbbōdhā anājñāgrāhiṇō bhrāntā nānābhilāṣāṇāṁ sukhānāñca dāsēyā duṣṭatvērṣyācāriṇō ghr̥ṇitāḥ parasparaṁ dvēṣiṇaścābhavāmaḥ|
For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, slaves to divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 kintvasmākaṁ trāturīśvarasya yā dayā marttyānāṁ prati ca yā prītistasyāḥ prādurbhāvē jātē
But when the kindness and love for men of God our Saviour appeared,
5 vayam ātmakr̥tēbhyō dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kr̥pātaḥ punarjanmarūpēṇa prakṣālanēna pravitrasyātmanō nūtanīkaraṇēna ca tasmāt paritrāṇāṁ prāptāḥ
not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 sa cāsmākaṁ trātrā yīśukhrīṣṭēnāsmadupari tam ātmānaṁ pracuratvēna vr̥ṣṭavān|
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
that having been accepted as righteous by his grace, we might become 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|
True is the saying; and these things I desire that thou affirm earnestly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to practise good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
9 mūḍhēbhyaḥ praśnavaṁśāvalivivādēbhyō vyavasthāyā vitaṇḍābhyaśca nivarttasva yatastā niṣphalā anarthakāśca bhavanti|
but avoid foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 yō janō bibhitsustam ēkavāraṁ dvirvvā prabōdhya dūrīkuru,
A man that stirs up divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;
11 yatastādr̥śō janō vipathagāmī pāpiṣṭha ātmadōṣakaśca bhavatīti tvayā jñāyatāṁ|
knowing that he that is such is utterly perverted, and sinneth, 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 shall have sent Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for there I have determined to pass the winter.
13 vyavasthāpakaḥ sīnā āpalluścaitayōḥ kasyāpyabhāvō yanna bhavēt tadarthaṁ tau yatnēna tvayā visr̥jyētāṁ|
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos forward on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 aparam asmadīyalōkā yanniṣphalā na bhavēyustadarthaṁ prayōjanīyōpakārāyā satkarmmāṇyanuṣṭhātuṁ śikṣantāṁ|
And let those also who belong to us learn to practise good works for the necessary wants that arise, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 mama saṅginaḥ savvē tvāṁ namaskurvvatē| yē viśvāsād asmāsu prīyantē tān namaskuru; sarvvēṣu yuṣmāsvanugrahō bhūyāt| āmēn|
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
