Titus 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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