Lettera a Tito - מכתב לטיטו 5

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לָכֵן לְכוּ בְּדֶרֶךְ הָאֱלֹהִים כְּבָנִים חֲבִיבִים	1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;
2 וְהִתְהַלְּכוּ בְּאַהֲבָה כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ אָהַב אֹתָנוּ וְהִקְרִיב אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בַּעֲדֵנוּ לְקָרְבָּן וָזֶבַח לֵאלֹהִים לְרֵיחַ נִיחוֹחַ	2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.
3 אֲבָל זְנוּת וְכָל־טֻמְאָה וְאַהֲבַת בֶּצַע בַּל־יִזָּכֵר בֵּינֵיכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר נָאוֶה לַקְּדשִׁים	3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:
4 גַּם־לֹא נִבּוּל פֶּה וְדִבְרֵי סִכְלוּת וָלַעַג אֲשֶׁר לֹא כְהֹגֶן כִּי אִם־קוֹל תּוֹדָה	4 Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.
5 כִּי־זֹאת יָדֹעַ תֵּדְעוּ כִּי כָל־זֹנֶה וְטָמֵא וְאֹהֵב בֶּצַע שֶׁהוּא עֹבֵד אֱלִילִים אֵין־לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה בְּמַלְכוּת הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְהָאֱלֹהִים	5 For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 אַל־יַשִּׁיא אִישׁ אֶתְכֶם בְּדִבְרֵי רִיק כִּי בִגְלַל־אֵלֶּה חֲרוֹן אֱלֹהִים בָּא עַל־בְּנֵי הַמֶּרִי	6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.
7 עַל־כֵּן אַל־יְהִי חֶלְקְכֶם עִמָּהֶם	7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
8 כִּי מִלְּפָנִים הֱיִיתֶם חשֶׁךְ וְעַתָּה הִנְּכֶם אוֹר בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ הִתְהַלְּכוּ־נָא כִּבְנֵי אוֹר	8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.
9 כִּי־פְרִי הָרוּחַ כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂי חֶסֶד וְצֶדֶק וֶאֱמֶת	9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;
10 וּבַחֲנוּ מַה־הוּא רָצוּי בְּעֵינֵי אֲדֹנֵינוּ	10 Proving what is well pleasing to God:
11 וְאַל־תִּשְׁתַּתְּפוּ עִם־מַעֲשֵׂי הַחשֶׁךְ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יַעֲשֹוּ פֶרִי כִּי אִם־הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחוּ אוֹתָם	11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 כִּי מַה־שֶּׁהֵם עֹשִׂים בַּסֵּתֶר חֶרְפָּה הִיא אַךְ־לְסַפֵּר	12 For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
13 אֲבָל כָּל־זֹאת יְגֻלֶּה כְּשֶׁיּוּכַח עַל־יְדֵי הָאוֹר כִּי כָל־הַנִּגְלֶה אוֹר הוּא	13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
14 עַל־כֵּן הוּא אוֹמֵר עוּרָה הַיָּשֵׁן וְקוּמָה מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְיָאֵר לְךָ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	14 Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.
15 וְעַתָּה רְאוּ וְהִזָּהֲרוּ לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ לֹא כַּכְּסִילִים כִּי אִם־כַּחֲכָמִים	15 See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,
16 מוֹקִירִים הָעֵת כִּי הַיָּמִים רָעִים הֵמָּה	16 But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 עַל־כֵּן אַל־תִּהְיוּ חַסְרֵי דָּעַת כִּי אִם־מְבִינִים לָדַעַת מַה־הוּא רְצוֹן אֲדֹנֵינוּ	17 Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.
18 וְאַל־תִּשְׁתַּכְּרוּ מִיַּיִן הַמֵּבִיא לִידֵי פְרִיצוּת כִּי אִם־הִמָּלְאוּ בָּרוּחַ	18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,
19 וְשִׂיחוּ אִישׁ לְרֵעֵהוּ בִּתְהִלּוֹת וְתִשְׁבָּחוֹת וְשִׁירוֹת רוּחָנִיּוֹת שִׁירוּ וְזַמְּרוּ לַאדֹנָי בִּלְבַבְכֶם	19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
20 וְהוֹדוּ בְכָל־עֵת עַל־הַכֹּל לֵאלֹהִים אָבִינוּ בְּשֵׁם אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	20 Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:
21 הִכָּנְעוּ אִישׁ לְאָחִיו בְּיִרְאַת אֱלֹהִים	21 Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
22 הַנָּשִׁים הִכָּנַעְנָה לְבַעֲלֵיכֶן כְּמוֹ לַאֲדֹנֵינוּ	22 Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
23 כִּי הָאִישׁ הוּא־רֹאשׁ הָאִשָּׁה כַּאֲשֶׁר הַמָּשִׁיחַ הוּא רֹאשׁ הָעֵדָה וְהוּא מוֹשִׁיעַ שֶׁל־הַגּוּף	23 Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
24 אֲבָל כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּכָּנַע הָעֵדָה לַמָּשִׁיחַ כָּכָה גַּם־הַנָּשִׁים לְבַעֲלֵיהֶן בְּכָל־דָּבָר	24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
25 הָאֲנָשִׁים אֶהֱבוּ אֶת־נְשֵׁיכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ אָהַב אֶת־הָעֵדָה וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בַּעֲדָהּ	25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:
26 לְמַעַן קַדְּשָׁהּ בִּדְבָרוֹ אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־טִהֲרָהּ בִּרְחִיצַת הַמָּיִם	26 That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
27 לַהֲקִימָהּ בְּכָבוֹד לוֹ לְעֵדָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין־בָּהּ כֶּתֶם וָקֶמֶט וּכְדוֹמֶה כִּי אִם־לְמַעַן תִּהְיֶה קְדוֹשָׁה וּתְמִימָה	27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
28 כֵּן הָאֲנָשִׁים חַיָּבִים לֶאֱהֹב אֶת־נְשֵׁיהֶם כְּגוּפָם כִּי הָאֹהֵב אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ אֹהֵב אֶת־עַצְמוֹ	28 So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29 כִּי מֵעוֹלָם לֹא־שָׂנֵא אִישׁ אֶת־בְּשָׂרוֹ כִּי אִם־זָן וּמְכַלְכֵּל אֹתוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָאָדוֹן אֶת־עֲדָתוֹ	29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:
30 כִּי־אֵבָרֵי גוּפוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ מִבְּשָׂרוֹ וּמֵעֲצָמָיו	30 Because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 עַל־כֵּן יַעֲזָב־אִישׁ אֶת־אָבִיו וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ וְדָבַק בְּאִשְׁתּוֹ וְהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם לְבָשָׂר אֶחָד	31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
32 גָּדוֹל הַסּוֹד הַזֶּה וַאֲנִי מְפָרֵשׁ אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְעַל־עֲדָתוֹ	32 This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
33 וְאוּלָם גַּם־אַתֶּם כָּל־אִישׁ מִכֶּם יֶאֱהַב אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ כְּנַפְשׁוֹ וְהָאִשָּׁה הִיא תִזָּהֵר וְתִירָא אֶת־בַּעְלָהּ	33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.
