Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Od Pavla, sluge Božijega, a apostola Isusa Hrista po vjeri izbranijeh Božijih, i po poznanju istine pobožnosti,
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
Za nad vjeènoga života, koji obeæa nelažni Bog prije vremena vjeènijeh, (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
A javi u vremena svoja rijeè svoju propovijedanjem, koje je meni povjereno po zapovijesti spasitelja našega Boga,
4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Titu, pravome sinu po vjeri nas obojice, blagodat, milost, mir od Boga oca i Gospoda Isusa Hrista, spasa našega.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Zato te ostavih u Kritu da popraviš što je nedovršeno, i da postaviš po svijem gradovima sveštenike, kao što ti ja zapovjedih,
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Ako je ko bez mane, jedne žene muž, i ima vjernu djecu, koju ne kore za kurvarstvo ili za nepokornost.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Jer vladika treba da je bez mane, kao Božij pristav; ne koji sebi ugaða, ne gnjevljiv, ne pijanica, ne bojac, ne lakom na pogani dobitak;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Nego gostoljubiv, blag, pošten, pravedan, svet, èist;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Koji se drži vjerne rijeèi po nauci, da bude kadar i svjetovati sa zdravom naukom, i pokarati one koji se protive.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Jer ima mnogo neposlušnijeh, praznogovorljivijeh, i umom prevarenijeh, a osobito koji su iz obrezanja,
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Kojima treba usta zatvoriti; koji cijele kuæe izopaèuju uèeæi što ne treba, poganoga dobitka radi.
12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
A reèe neko od njih, njihov prorok: Kriæani svagda lažljivi, zli zvjerovi, besposleni trbusi.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Svjedoèanstvo je ovo istinito; zaradi toga uzroka karaj ih bez šteðenja, da budu zdravi u vjeri,
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Ne slušajuæi Jevrejskijeh gatalica ni zapovijesti ljudi koji se odvraæaju od istine.
15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Èistima je sve èisto; a poganima i nevjernima ništa nije èisto, nego je opoganjen njihov i um i savjest.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Govore da poznaju Boga, a djelima ga se odrièu; jer su mrski i neposlušni, i ni za kakvo dobro djelo valjani.
