Titu 3
1 Opominji ih da budu pokorni i poslušni gospodarima i zapovjednicima, i gotovi na svako dobro djelo;
Be putting them in mind, unto rulerships, unto authorities, to be in submission, to be yielding to rule, for every good work, to be, prepared,
2 Ni na koga da ne hule, da se ne svaðaju, nego da budu mirni, svaku krotost da pokazuju svijem ljudima,
To be defaming, no one, to be, averse to strife, considerate, shewing, all, meekness unto all men.
3 Jer i mi bijasmo negda ludi, i nepokorni, i prevareni, služeæi razliènijem željama i slastima, u pakosti i zavisti živeæi, mrski buduæi i mrzeæi jedan na drugoga.
For, even we, used, at one time, to be—thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another.
4 A kad se pokaza blagodat i èovjekoljublje spasa našega Boga,
But, when, the graciousness and affection for man of our Saviour God, shone forth,
5 Ne za djela pravedna koja mi uèinismo, nego po svojoj milosti spase nas banjom preroðenja i obnovljenjem Duha svetoga,
Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us—through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the moulding anew of Holy Spirit.—
6 Kojega izli na nas obilno kroz Isusa Hrista spasitelja našega,
Which he poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
7 Da se opravdamo blagodaæu njegovom, i da budemo našljednici života vjeènoga po nadu. (aiōnios g166)
In order that, having been declared righteous by his favour, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
8 Sine Tite! istinita je rijeè, i u ovome hoæu da utvrðuješ, da se oni koji vjerovaše Bogu trude i staraju za dobro djelo: ovo je korisno ljudima i dobro.
Faithful, the saying! And, concerning these things, I am minded that thou be strongly affirming, in order that they who have believed God may be careful to be forward, in noble works. These things, are honourable, and profitable unto men;
9 A ludijeh zapitkivanja i teftera od plemena, i svaða i prepiranja o zakonu kloni se; jer je to nekorisno i prazno.
But, foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strife, and contentions about matters of law, avoid, for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Èovjeka jeretika po prvome i drugom svjetovanju kloni se,
From a party-man, after a first and second admonition, excuse thyself;
11 Znajuæi da se takovi izopaèio, i griješi, i sam je sebe osudio.
Knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Kad pošljem k tebi Artemu ili Tihika, postaraj se da doðeš k meni u Nikopolj, jer sam namislio da ondje zimujem.
As soon as I shall send Artemus unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come to me unto Nicopolis; for, there, have I determined to winter.
13 Zinu zakonika i Apola lijepo opremi da imaju sve što im treba.
Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, do thou diligently set forward on their way, in order that, nothing, unto them, may be wanting.
14 Ali i naši neka se uèe napredovati u dobrijem djelima, ako gdje bude od potrebe da ne budu bez roda.
Moreover, let our own learn to be forward, in honourable works, for the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Pozdravljaju te svi koji su sa mnom. Pozdravi sve koji nas ljube u vjeri. Blagodat sa svima vama. Amin.
All they who are with me salute thee. Salute thou them who regard us with faithful affection. Favour, be with you all.
