Послание к Титу 1
1 Павел, раб Божий, Апостол же Иисус Христов, по вере избранных Божиих и разуму истины, яже по благочестию,
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's chosen people and the knowledge of the truth that agrees with godliness,
with the certain hope of everlasting life that God, who does not lie, promised before all the ages of time. (aiōnios g166)
3 яви же во времена своя слово Свое проповеданием, еже мне поручено бысть по повелению Спасителя нашего Бога:
At the right time, he revealed his word by the message that he trusted me to deliver. I was to do this by the command of God our savior.
4 Титу, присному чаду по общей вере: благодать, милость, мир от Бога Отца и Господа Иисуса Христа Спаса нашего.
To Titus, a true son in our common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.
5 Сего ради оставих тя в Крите, да недокончанная исправиши и устроиши по всем градом пресвитеры, якоже тебе аз повелех:
For this purpose I left you in Crete, that you might set in order things not yet complete and ordain elders in every city as I directed you.
6 аще кто есть непорочен, единыя жены муж, чада имый верна, не во укорении блуда, или непокорива.
An elder must be without blame, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who do not have the reputation of being reckless or undisciplined.
7 Подобает бо епископу без порока быти, якоже Божию строителю: не себе угождающу, (не дерзу, не напрасливу, ) не гневливу, не пиянице, не биице, не скверностяжательну,
It is necessary for the overseer, as God's household manager, to be blameless. He must not be arrogant, not be easily angered, not addicted to wine, not a brawler, and not a greedy man.
8 но страннолюбиву, благолюбцу, целомудренну, праведну, преподобну, воздержателну,
Instead, he should be hospitable and a friend of what is good. He must be sensible, righteous, godly, and self-controlled.
9 держащемуся вернаго словесе по учению, да силен будет и утешати во здравем учении, и противящыяся обличати.
He should hold tightly to the trustworthy message that was taught, so that he may be able to encourage others with good teaching and correct those who oppose him.
10 Суть бо мнози непокориви, суесловцы и умом прельщени, наипаче же сущии от обрезания,
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.
11 ихже подобает уста заграждати: иже вся домы развращают, учаще яже не подобает, сквернаго ради прибытка.
It is necessary to stop them. They are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful profit what they should not teach.
12 Рече же некто от них, свой им пророк: Критяне присно лживи, злии зверие, утробы праздныя.
One of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13 Свидетельство сие истинно есть. Еяже ради вины обличай их нещадно, да здрави будут в вере,
This statement is true. Therefore, correct them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,
14 не внимающе Иудейским баснем, ни заповедем человек отвращающихся от истины.
not paying any attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
15 Вся убо чиста чистым: оскверненым же и неверным ничтоже чисто, но осквернися их и ум и совесть.
To those who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and their consciences have been corrupted.
16 Бога исповедуют ведети, а делы отмещутся Его, мерзцы суще и непокориви и на всякое дело благое неискусни.
They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for doing any good work.
