Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
Pavel hlapec Božji in apostelj Jezusa Kristusa, po veri izvoljenih Božjih in spoznanji resnice po pobožnosti;
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
Na zaupanje večnega življenja, katero je obljubil Bog resnični pred večnimi časi; (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
A o svojem času je razodel besedo svojo v naznanilu, katero je bilo meni izročeno po povelji rešitelja našega, Boga:
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Titu, pravemu detetu po družni veri, milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa rešitelja našega!
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
Za to sem te pustil v Kreti, da popraviš pomanjkljivo, in nastaviš po mestu starejšine, kakor sem ti jaz ukazal;
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
Če je kdo neoponosen, ene žene mož, otroke imajoč verne, ki niso na glasu razuzdanosti, ali nepokorni.
7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
Vladika namreč bodi neoponosen, kakor oskrbnik Božji, ne samovšečen, ne nagle jeze, ne pijanec, ne pretepalec, ne grdega zaslužka;
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
Nego gostoljuben, dobrega prijatelj, zmeren, pravičen, svet, zdržen,
9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
Držeč se verne besede po uku, da bode zmožen tudi opominjati v zdravem uku, in izpodbijati nasproti govoreče.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Kajii mnogo je trdovratnih blebetačev in sleparjev, zlasti iz obreze,
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
katerim je treba usta zamašiti; kateri cele hiše narobe obračajo, učeč, česar bi ne smeli, za grd dobiček.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Rekel je nekdo izmed njih, lasten njih prorok: "Kréčani vedno lažniki, grde zveri, leni trebuhi."
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
To pričalo je resnično; zatorej jih svári osorno, da bodejo zdravi v veri,
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
Ne poslušajoč basni judovskih in ukazov ljudî, ki se obračajo od resnice.
15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Vse je čisto čistim; oskrunjenim pa in nevernim ni nič čisto; nego oskrunila sta se jim um in vest.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Boga pravijo da poznajo, v delih pa ga zatajujejo, ker so ljudje ostudni in nepokorni in za vsako dobro delo malo pridni.
