Tito 1

BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Pablo, siervo de Dios, apóstol de Jesucristo para llevar a los escogidos de Dios a la fe y al pleno conocimiento de la verdad que es conforme a la piedad,	1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
2 con la esperanza de vida eterna, prometida desde toda la eternidad por Dios que no miente,	2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
3 y que en el tiempo oportuno ha manifestado su Palabra por la predicación a mí encomendada según el mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador,	3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior:
4 a Tito, verdadero hijo según la fe común. Gracia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús, nuestro Salvador.	4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 El motivo de haberte dejado en Creta, fue para que acabaras de organizar lo que faltaba y establecieras presbíteros en cada ciudad, como yo te ordené.	5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
6 El candidato debe ser irreprochable, casado una sola vez, cuyos hijos sean creyentes, no tachados de libertinaje ni de rebeldía.	6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
7 Porque el epíscopo, como administrador de Dios, debe ser irreprochable; no arrogante, no colérico, no bebedor, no violento, no dado a negocios sucios;	7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8 sino hospitalario, amigo del bien, sensato, justo, piadoso, dueño de sí.	8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
9 Que esté adherido a la palabra fiel, conforme a la enseñanza, para que sea capaz de exhortar con la sana doctrina y refutar a los que contradicen.	9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
10 Porque hay muchos rebeldes, vanos habladores y embaucadores, sobre todo entre los de la circuncisión,	10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11 a quienes es menester tapar la boca; hombres que trastornan familias enteras, enseñando por torpe ganancia lo que no deben.	11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 Uno de ellos, profeta suyo, dijo: «Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos».	12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
13 Este testimonio es verdadero. Por tanto repréndeles severamente, a fin de que conserven sana la fe,	13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 y no den oídos a fábulas judaicas, ni a mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.	14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
15 Para los limpios todo es limpio; mas para los contaminados e incrédulos nada hay limpio, pues su mente y conciencia están contaminadas.	15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Profesan conocer a Dios, mas con sus obras le niegan; son abominables y rebeldes e incapaces de toda obra buena.	16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
