Poslanica Titu 1

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Pavao, sluga Božji i apostol Isusa Krista poradi vjere izabranika Božjih i spoznanja istine usmjerene k pobožnosti	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 u nadi života vječnoga što ga, prije vremenâ vjekovječnih, obeća Bog, On koji ne laže,	2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:
3 a u svoje doba očitova riječ svoju u propovijedanju koje je meni povjereno po odredbi Spasitelja našega, Boga:	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 Titu, pravomu sinu po zajedničkoj vjeri, milost i mir od Boga i Krista Isusa, Spasitelja našega!	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 Poradi toga ostavih te na Kreti da urediš preostalo te po gradovima postaviš starješine kako sam ti ja odredio:	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 je li tko besprigovoran, jedne žene muž, jesu li mu djeca vjernici i ne pod optužbom raskalašenosti ili nepokorna...	6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
7 Jer nadstojnik kao Božji upravitelj treba da bude besprigovoran: ne samoživ, ne jedljiv, ne vinu sklon, ni nasilju, ni prljavu dobitku,	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 nego gostoljubiv, ljubitelj dobra, razuman, pravedan, svet, suzdržljiv,	8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
9 priljubljen uz vjerodostojnu riječ nauka da može i hrabriti u zdravom nauku i uvjeravati protivnike.	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 Jer mnogi su nepokorni, praznorječni i zavodnici, ponajpače oni iz obrezanja.	10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11 Njima treba začepiti usta jer cijele domove prevraćaju naučavajući što ne bi smjeli, i to poradi prljava dobitka.	11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 Reče netko od njih, njihov vlastiti prorok: »Krećani uvijek lašci, opake zvijeri, trbusi dangubni.«	12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
13 Svjedočanstvo je to istinito. Zato ih karaj oštro da budu zdravi u vjeri,	13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 da ne prianjaju uza židovske bajke i propise ljudi koji se odvraćaju od istine.	14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
15 Sve je čisto čistima; okaljanima pak i nevjernima ništa čisto, nego su im okaljani i razum i savjest.	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 Ispovijedaju da Boga poznaju, ali djelima ga niječu – odvratni, neposlušni i za koje god dobro djelo nepodesni.	16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
