Titu 1
1 Pavel hlapec Božji in apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, po veri izvoljenih Božjih in spoznanji resnice po pobožnosti;
PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness;
in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being; (aiōnios g166)
3 A o svojem času je razodel besedo svojo v naznanilu, katero je bilo meni izročeno po povelji rešitelja našega, Boga:
but hath manifested in his own appointed season his word by the preaching, with which I have been entrusted, according to the command of our Saviour God;
4 Titu, pravemu detetu po družni veri, milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa rešitelja našega!
to Titus, my genuine son after the common faith, be grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 Za to sem te pustil v Kreti, da popraviš pomanjkljivo, in nastaviš po mestu starejšine, kakor sem ti jaz ukazal;
For this purpose I left thee behind me at Crete, that thou mightest direct the regulations which remained to be executed, and that thou shouldest appoint presbyters in every city, as I charged thee to do:
6 Če je kdo neoponosen, ene žene mož, otroke imajoč verne, ki niso na glasu razuzdanosti, ali nepokorni.
if there be a man blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not under an accusation or debauchery, or disorderly conduct.
7 Vladika namreč bodi neoponosen, kakor oskrbnik Božji, ne samovšečen, ne nagle jeze, ne pijanec, ne pretepalec, ne grdega zaslužka;
For a bishop ought to be irreproachable, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not irritable, not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy of filthy lucre;
8 Nego gostoljuben, dobrega prijatelj, zmeren, pravičen, svet, zdržen,
but the stranger’s host, the good man’s friend, grave, just, holy, temperate;
9 Držeč se verne besede po uku, da bode zmožen tudi opominjati v zdravem uku, in izpodbijati nasproti govoreče.
firmly attached to the faithful word, according to the doctrine delivered, that he may be able to exhort with sound instruction and to confute the opposers.
10 Kajii mnogo je trdovratnih blebetačev in sleparjev, zlasti iz obreze,
For there are many disorderly persons vainly talkative, and under a spirit of delusion, especially some of the circumcised;
11 katerim je treba usta zamašiti; kateri cele hiše narobe obračajo, učeč, česar bi ne smeli, za grd dobiček.
whose mouths ought to be muzzled, who pervert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
12 Rekel je nekdo izmed njih, lasten njih prorok: "Kréčani vedno lažniki, grde zveri, leni trebuhi."
One of them, a poet of their own nation, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, wicked beasts, slothful gluttons.
13 To pričalo je resnično; zatorej jih svári osorno, da bodejo zdravi v veri,
This testimony is true. For which cause rebuke them with severity, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Ne poslušajoč basni judovskih in ukazov ljudî, ki se obračajo od resnice.
not attending to Jewish fables, and injunctions of men, who have turned away from the truth.
15 Vse je čisto čistim; oskrunjenim pa in nevernim ni nič čisto; nego oskrunila sta se jim um in vest.
All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled.
16 Boga pravijo da poznajo, v delih pa ga zatajujejo, ker so ljudje ostudni in nepokorni in za vsako dobro delo malo pridni.
They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
