Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of God's elect, and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to piety;
in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time, (aiōnios g166)
3 яви же во времена своя слово Свое проповеданием, еже мне поручено бысть по повелению Спасителя нашего Бога:
but has manifested in its own due season his word, in [the] proclamation with which I have been entrusted, according to [the] commandment of our Saviour God;
4 Титу, присному чаду по общей вере: благодать, милость, мир от Бога Отца и Господа Иисуса Христа Спаса нашего.
to Titus, my own child according to [the] faith common [to us]: Grace and peace from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
5 Сего ради оставих тя в Крите, да недокончанная исправиши и устроиши по всем градом пресвитеры, якоже тебе аз повелех:
For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish elders in each city, as I had ordered thee:
6 аще кто есть непорочен, единыя жены муж, чада имый верна, не во укорении блуда, или непокорива.
if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly.
7 Подобает бо епископу без порока быти, якоже Божию строителю: не себе угождающу, (не дерзу, не напрасливу, ) не гневливу, не пиянице, не биице, не скверностяжательну,
For the overseer must be free from all charge [against him] as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means;
8 но страннолюбиву, благолюбцу, целомудренну, праведну, преподобну, воздержателну,
but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,
9 держащемуся вернаго словесе по учению, да силен будет и утешати во здравем учении, и противящыяся обличати.
clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers.
10 Суть бо мнози непокориви, суесловцы и умом прельщени, наипаче же сущии от обрезания,
For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision,
11 ихже подобает уста заграждати: иже вся домы развращают, учаще яже не подобает, сквернаго ради прибытка.
who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain.
12 Рече же некто от них, свой им пророк: Критяне присно лживи, злии зверие, утробы праздныя.
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
13 Свидетельство сие истинно есть. Еяже ради вины обличай их нещадно, да здрави будут в вере,
This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 не внимающе Иудейским баснем, ни заповедем человек отвращающихся от истины.
not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
15 Вся убо чиста чистым: оскверненым же и неверным ничтоже чисто, но осквернися их и ум и совесть.
All things [are] pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Бога исповедуют ведети, а делы отмещутся Его, мерзцы суще и непокориви и на всякое дело благое неискусни.
They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.
