تِيطُس 3

١ 1 ذَكِّرْهُمْ أَنْ يَخْضَعُوا لِلرِّيَاسَاتِ وَٱلسَّلَاطِينِ، وَيُطِيعُوا، وَيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ،

Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,

٢ 2 وَلَا يَطْعَنُوا فِي أَحَدٍ، وَيَكُونُوا غَيْرَ مُخَاصِمِينَ، حُلَمَاءَ، مُظْهِرِينَ كُلَّ وَدَاعَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّنَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا قَبْلًا أَغْبِيَاءَ، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ، ضَالِّينَ، مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ لِشَهَوَاتٍ وَلَذَّاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، عَائِشِينَ فِي ٱلْخُبْثِ وَٱلْحَسَدِ، مَمْقُوتِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:

٤ 4 وَلَكِنْ حِينَ ظَهَرَ لُطْفُ مُخَلِّصِنَا ٱللهِ وَإِحْسَانُهُ -

But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,

٥ 5 لَا بِأَعْمَالٍ فِي بِرٍّ عَمِلْنَاهَا نَحْنُ، بَلْ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ - خَلَّصَنَا بِغُسْلِ ٱلْمِيلَادِ ٱلثَّانِي وَتَجْدِيدِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي سَكَبَهُ بِغِنًى عَلَيْنَا بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا.

Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,

٧ 7 حَتَّى إِذَا تَبَرَّرْنَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ، نَصِيرُ وَرَثَةً حَسَبَ رَجَاءِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)

٨ 8 صَادِقَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ. وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَرِّرَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ، لِكَيْ يَهْتَمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِٱللهِ أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً. فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ هِيَ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَٱلنَّافِعَةُ لِلنَّاسِ.

This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُبَاحَثَاتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّةُ، وَٱلْأَنْسَابُ، وَٱلْخُصُومَاتُ، وَٱلْمُنَازَعَاتُ ٱلنَّامُوسِيةُ فَٱجْتَنِبْهَا، لِأَنَّهَا غَيْرُ نَافِعَةٍ، وَبَاطِلَةٌ.

But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.

١٠ 10 اَلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُبْتَدِعُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِنْذَارِ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ، أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُ.

Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,

١١ 11 عَالِمًا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا قَدِ ٱنْحَرَفَ، وَهُوَ يُخْطِئُ مَحْكُومًا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ.

Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.

١٢ 12 حِينَمَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَيْكَ أَرْتِيمَاسَ أَوْ تِيخِيكُسَ، بَادِرْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ إِلَى نِيكُوبُولِيسَ، لِأَنِّي عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُشَتِّيَ هُنَاكَ.

When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.

١٣ 13 جَهِّزْ زِينَاسَ ٱلنَّامُوسِيَّ وَأَبُلُّوسَ بِٱجْتِهَادٍ لِلسَّفَرِ حَتَّى لَا يُعْوِزَهُمَا شَيْءٌ.

Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.

١٤ 14 وَلْيَتَعَلَّمْ مَنْ لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالًا حَسَنَةً لِلْحَاجَاتِ ٱلضَّرُورِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُوا بِلَا ثَمَرٍ.

And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.

١٥ 15 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي جَمِيعًا. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَنَا فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.

All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
