Lettera a Tito - מכתב לטיטו 5

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 לָכֵן לְכוּ בְּדֶרֶךְ הָאֱלֹהִים כְּבָנִים חֲבִיבִים	1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as 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 given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 אֲבָל זְנוּת וְכָל־טֻמְאָה וְאַהֲבַת בֶּצַע בַּל־יִזָּכֵר בֵּינֵיכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר נָאוֶה לַקְּדשִׁים	3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 גַּם־לֹא נִבּוּל פֶּה וְדִבְרֵי סִכְלוּת וָלַעַג אֲשֶׁר לֹא כְהֹגֶן כִּי אִם־קוֹל תּוֹדָה	4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: 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 this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any 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 wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 עַל־כֵּן אַל־יְהִי חֶלְקְכֶם עִמָּהֶם	7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 כִּי מִלְּפָנִים הֱיִיתֶם חשֶׁךְ וְעַתָּה הִנְּכֶם אוֹר בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ הִתְהַלְּכוּ־נָא כִּבְנֵי אוֹר	8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 כִּי־פְרִי הָרוּחַ כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂי חֶסֶד וְצֶדֶק וֶאֱמֶת	9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 וּבַחֲנוּ מַה־הוּא רָצוּי בְּעֵינֵי אֲדֹנֵינוּ	10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
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 it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
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 whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 עַל־כֵּן הוּא אוֹמֵר עוּרָה הַיָּשֵׁן וְקוּמָה מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְיָאֵר לְךָ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 וְעַתָּה רְאוּ וְהִזָּהֲרוּ לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ לֹא כַּכְּסִילִים כִּי אִם־כַּחֲכָמִים	15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 מוֹקִירִים הָעֵת כִּי הַיָּמִים רָעִים הֵמָּה	16 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 be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 וְאַל־תִּשְׁתַּכְּרוּ מִיַּיִן הַמֵּבִיא לִידֵי פְרִיצוּת כִּי אִם־הִמָּלְאוּ בָּרוּחַ	18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 וְשִׂיחוּ אִישׁ לְרֵעֵהוּ בִּתְהִלּוֹת וְתִשְׁבָּחוֹת וְשִׁירוֹת רוּחָנִיּוֹת שִׁירוּ וְזַמְּרוּ לַאדֹנָי בִּלְבַבְכֶם	19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 וְהוֹדוּ בְכָל־עֵת עַל־הַכֹּל לֵאלֹהִים אָבִינוּ בְּשֵׁם אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 הִכָּנְעוּ אִישׁ לְאָחִיו בְּיִרְאַת אֱלֹהִים	21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 הַנָּשִׁים הִכָּנַעְנָה לְבַעֲלֵיכֶן כְּמוֹ לַאֲדֹנֵינוּ	22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 כִּי הָאִישׁ הוּא־רֹאשׁ הָאִשָּׁה כַּאֲשֶׁר הַמָּשִׁיחַ הוּא רֹאשׁ הָעֵדָה וְהוּא מוֹשִׁיעַ שֶׁל־הַגּוּף	23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 אֲבָל כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּכָּנַע הָעֵדָה לַמָּשִׁיחַ כָּכָה גַּם־הַנָּשִׁים לְבַעֲלֵיהֶן בְּכָל־דָּבָר	24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 הָאֲנָשִׁים אֶהֱבוּ אֶת־נְשֵׁיכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ אָהַב אֶת־הָעֵדָה וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בַּעֲדָהּ	25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 לְמַעַן קַדְּשָׁהּ בִּדְבָרוֹ אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־טִהֲרָהּ בִּרְחִיצַת הַמָּיִם	26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
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 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 yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 כִּי־אֵבָרֵי גוּפוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ מִבְּשָׂרוֹ וּמֵעֲצָמָיו	30 For 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 be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 גָּדוֹל הַסּוֹד הַזֶּה וַאֲנִי מְפָרֵשׁ אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְעַל־עֲדָתוֹ	32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and 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 so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
