Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Pablo, siervo de Dios, y apóstol de Jesús, el Cristo, según la fe de los escogidos de Dios, y el conocimiento de la verdad que es según la piedad,
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
para la esperanza de la vida eterna, la cual prometió el Dios, que no puede mentir, antes de los tiempos de los siglos, (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
y la manifestó a sus tiempos: Es su palabra por la predicación, que me es a mí encomendada por mandamiento de nuestro salvador Dios;
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Savior.
a Tito, verdadero hijo en la común fe: Gracia, misericordia, y paz del Dios Padre, y del Señor Jesús, el Cristo, salvador nuestro.
5 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;
Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que corrigieses lo que falta, y pusieses ancianos por las villas, así como yo te mandé;
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
el que fuere irreprensible, marido de una mujer, que tenga hijos fieles que no pueden ser acusados de disolución, ni contumaces.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
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;
8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
sino hospedador, amador de los buenos, templado, justo, santo, continente;
9 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.
retenedor de la doctrina conforma a la fiel palabra, para que también pueda exhortar con sana doctrina, y convencer a los que contradicen.
10 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Porque hay aún muchos contumaces, y habladores de vanidades, y engañadores (de las almas), mayormente los que son de la circuncisión,
11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
A los cuales es preciso tapar la boca; que trastornan casas enteras; enseñando lo que no conviene, por ganancia deshonesta.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
Dijo uno de ellos, su propio profeta: Los cretenses, siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Este testimonio es verdadero; por tanto, repréndelos duramente, para que sean sanos en la fe,
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
no atendiendo a fábulas judaicas, y a mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.
15 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.
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.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Profesan conocer a Dios; mas con los hechos lo niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes, y reprobados para toda buena obra.
