Titus 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness,	1 ܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܒܕܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܓܒܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܕܒܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
2 in hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago	2 ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܡܠܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܀
3 and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Savior; To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.	3 ܘܓܠܐ ܡܠܬܗ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܒܝܕ ܟܪܘܙܘܬܢ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ ܐܢܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܀
4 .	4 ܠܛܛܘܤ ܒܪܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܓܘܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܀
5 This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,	5 ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܒܩܬܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܩܪܛܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܤܝܪܢ ܬܬܩܢ ܘܬܩܝܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܐ ܡܕܝܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܕܬܟ ܀
6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of being profligate or insubordinate.	6 ܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘ ܘܗܘܐ ܒܥܠܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܨܚܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܥܒܕ ܒܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܀
7 For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,	7 ܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܬܕܒܪ ܒܪܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܡܬܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܡܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܚܡ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܀
8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;	8 ܐܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܪܚܡ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܢܟܦ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܐܝܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܚܤܝܐ ܘܠܒܝܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܀
9 he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to confute those who contradict it.	9 ܘܒܛܝܠ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܐܦ ܠܡܒܝܐܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܘܠܡܟܤܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܪܝܢ ܀
10 For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party;	10 ܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܤܪܝܩܢ ܡܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܛܥܝܢ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
11 they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach.	11 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܡܤܟܪܘ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܒܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܚܒܠܝܢ ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܀
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."	12 ܐܡܪ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܢܝ ܩܪܛܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܕܓܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܟܪܤܬܐ ܒܛܝܠܬܐ ܀
13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,	13 ܘܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܩܫܝܐܝܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܟܤ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܠܝܡܝܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀
14 instead of giving heed to Jewish myths or to commands of men who reject the truth.	14 ܘܠܐ ܢܬܪܡܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܦܘܩܕܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܀
15 To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted.	15 ܟܠܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܐ ܗܘ ܠܕܟܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܤܝܒܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܕܟܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܤܝܒ ܗܘ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ ܀
16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good deed.	16 ܘܡܘܕܝܢ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܥܒܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܦܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܝܤ ܘܡܤܠܝܐ ܠܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀
