Titus 1

بُولُسُ، عَبْدُ اللهِ، وَرَسُولُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، لأَجْلِ إِيمَانِ مُخْتَارِي اللهِ وَمَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ، الَّذِي هُوَ حَسَبُ التَّقْوَى،

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;

عَلَى رَجَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ، الَّتِي وَعَدَ بِهَا اللهُ الْمُنَزَّهُ عَنِ الْكَذِبِ، قَبْلَ الأَزْمِنَةِ الأَزَلِيَّةِ،

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

وَإِنَّمَا أَظْهَرَ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا الْخَاصَّةِ، بِالْكِرَازَةِ الَّتِي اؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهَا، بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ مُخَلِّصِنَا اللهِ،

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

إِلَى تِيطُسَ، الابْنِ الصَّرِيحِ حَسَبَ الإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ: نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مُخَلِّصِنَا.

To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا تَرَكْتُكَ فِي كِرِيتَ لِكَيْ تُكَمِّلَ تَرْتِيبَ الأُمُورِ النَّاقِصَةِ، وَتُقِيمَ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ شُيُوخًا كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ.

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:

إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ، بَعْلَ امْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لَهُ أَوْلاَدٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ، لَيْسُوا فِي شِكَايَةِ الْخَلاَعَةِ وَلاَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ.

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

لأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الأُسْقُفُ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ كَوَكِيلِ اللهِ، غَيْرَ مُعْجِبٍ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَلاَ غَضُوبٍ، وَلاَ مُدْمِنِ الْخَمْرِ، وَلاَ ضَرَّابٍ، وَلاَ طَامِعٍ فِي الرِّبْحِ الْقَبِيحِ،

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;

بَلْ مُضِيفًا لِلْغُرَبَاءِ، مُحِبًّا لِلْخَيْرِ، مُتَعَقِّلاً، بَارًّا، وَرِعًا، ضَابِطًا لِنَفْسِهِ،

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

مُلاَزِمًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ الصَّادِقَةِ الَّتِي بِحَسَبِ التَّعْلِيمِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ قَادِرًا أَنْ يَعِظَ بِالتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ وَيُوَبِّخَ الْمُنَاقِضِينَ.

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.

فَإِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ مُتَمَرِّدِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَخْدَعُونَ الْعُقُولَ، وَلاَسِيَّمَا الَّذِينَ مِنَ الْخِتَانِ،

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

الَّذِينَ يَجِبُ سَدُّ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقْلِبُونَ بُيُوتًا بِجُمْلَتِهَا، مُعَلِّمِينَ مَا لاَ يَجِبُ، مِنْ أَجْلِ الرِّبْحِ الْقَبِيحِ.

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

قَالَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ لَهُمْ خَاصٌّ:«الْكِرِيتِيُّونَ دَائِمًا كَذَّابُونَ. وُحُوشٌ رَدِيَّةٌ. بُطُونٌ بَطَّالَةٌ».

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

هذِهِ الشَّهَادَةُ صَادِقَةٌ. فَلِهذَا السَّبَبِ وَبِّخْهُمْ بِصَرَامَةٍ لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا أَصِحَّاءَ فِي الإِيمَانِ،

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

لاَ يُصْغُونَ إِلَى خُرَافَاتٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ، وَوَصَايَا أُنَاسٍ مُرْتَدِّينَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ.

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِرٌ لِلطَّاهِرِينَ، وَأَمَّا لِلنَّجِسِينَ وَغَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ طَاهِرًا، بَلْ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ ذِهْنُهُمْ أَيْضًا وَضَمِيرُهُمْ.

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.

يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ اللهَ، وَلكِنَّهُمْ بِالأَعْمَالِ يُنْكِرُونَهُ، إِذْ هُمْ رَجِسُونَ غَيْرُ طَائِعِينَ، وَمِنْ جِهَةِ كُلِّ عَمَل صَالِحٍ مَرْفُوضُونَ.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
