5 Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que corrigieses lo que falta, y pusieses ancianos por las villas, así como yo te mandé;
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
6 el que fuere irreprensible, marido de una mujer, que tenga hijos fieles que no pueden ser acusados de disolución, ni contumaces.
if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 Porque es necesario que el obispo sea irreprensible, como dispensador de Dios; no soberbio, no iracundo, no dado al vino, no heridor, no codicioso de ganancias deshonestas;
For the qashisha must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 sino hospedador, amador de los buenos, templado, justo, santo, continente;
but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled;
9 retenedor de la doctrina conforma a la fiel palabra, para que también pueda exhortar con sana doctrina, y convencer a los que contradicen.
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 Porque hay aún muchos contumaces, y habladores de vanidades, y engañadores (de las almas), mayormente los que son de la circuncisión,
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 A los cuales es preciso tapar la boca; que trastornan casas enteras; enseñando lo que no conviene, por ganancia deshonesta.
whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 Dijo uno de ellos, su propio profeta: Los cretenses, siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos.
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
13 Este testimonio es verdadero; por tanto, repréndelos duramente, para que sean sanos en la fe,
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 no atendiendo a fábulas judaicas, y a mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.
not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
15 Porque todas las cosas son limpias a los limpios; mas a los contaminados e infieles nada es limpio; antes su alma y conciencia son contaminadas.
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Profesan conocer a Dios; mas con los hechos lo niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes, y reprobados para toda buena obra.
They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
