|
1 神的僕人，耶穌基督的使徒保羅，憑著神選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識，
|
|
2 In hope1680 of eternal166 life,2222 which3739 God,2316 that cannot893 lie,893 promised1861 before4253 the world166 began;4253
|
2 盼望那不說謊［cannot lie］的神在創世［world began］之先所應許的永生，
|
|
3 But has in due2398 times5550 manifested5319 his word3056 through1722 preaching,2782 which3739 is committed4100 to me according2596 to the commandment2003 of God2316 our Savior;4990
|
3 到了日期，藉著傳講［preaching］把他的道顯明了；這傳揚的責任是按著神我們救主的命令交託了我。
|
|
4 To Titus,5103 my own1103 son5043 after2596 the common2839 faith:4102 Grace,5485 mercy,1656 and peace,1515 from God2316 the Father3962 and the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our Savior.4990
|
4 現在寫信給提多，就是照著我們共信之道作我真兒子的。願恩典［Grace］、憐憫［mercy］、平安［peace］從父神和主耶穌基督我們的救主［the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour］歸與你。

5 For this5127 cause5484 left2641 I you in Crete,2914 that you should set1930 in order1930 the things that are wanting,3007 and ordain2525 elders4245 in every2596 city,4172 as I had appointed1299 you:
|
5 我從前留你在克里特，是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了，又照我所派定［appointed］你的，在各城設立長老：
|
|
6 If1487 any1536 be blameless,410 the husband435 of one3391 wife,1135 having2192 faithful4103 children5043 not accused1722 2724 of riot810 or2228 unruly.506
|
6 若有無可指摘［blameless］的人，只作一個婦人的丈夫，兒女也信道［faithful］，沒有人告他們是放縱或是不守規矩的［riot or unruly］，就可以設立。
|
|
7 For a bishop1985 must1163 be blameless,410 as the steward3622 of God;2316 not self-willed,829 not soon3711 angry,3711 not given3943 to wine,3943 no3361 striker,4131 not given to filthy150 lucre;146
|
7 監督既是神的管家，必須無可指摘［blameless］，不任性，不暴躁，不好喝酒［given to wine］，不打人，不貪無義之財；
|
|
8 But a lover5382 of hospitality,5382 a lover5358 of good5358 men, sober,4998 just,1342 holy,3741 temperate;1468
|
8 樂意款待人［hospitality］，喜愛善人［lover of good men］，莊重，公平，聖潔，自持；
|
|
9 Holding472 fast472 the faithful4103 word3056 as he has been taught,1322 that he may be able1415 by sound5198 doctrine1319 both2532 to exhort3870 and to convince1651 the disputers.483
|
9 堅守所教真實的道理，就能將純正的道理［doctrine］勸化人，又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。
|
|
10 For there are many4183 unruly506 and vain3151 talkers3151 and deceivers,5423 specially3122 they of the circumcision:4061
|
10 因為有許多人不守規矩［unruly］，說虛空話欺哄人；那奉割禮的更是這樣。
|
|
11 Whose3739 mouths1993 must1163 be stopped,1993 who3748 subvert396 whole3650 houses,3624 teaching1321 things which3739 they ought1163 not, for filthy150 lucre's2771 sake.
|
11 這些人的口必須［must be］堵住。他們因貪不義之財，將不該教導的教導人，敗壞人的全家。
|
|
12 One5100 of themselves,846 even a prophet4396 of their own,2398 said,2036 The Cretians2912 are always104 liars,5583 evil2556 beasts,2342 slow692 bellies.1064
|
12 有克里特人中的一個本地先知說：「克里特人常說謊話，乃是惡獸，身懶肚飽［slow bellies］。」
|
|
13 This3778 witness3141 is true.227 Why1223 3739 rebuke1651 them sharply,664 that they may be sound5198 in the faith;4102
|
13 這個見證是真的。所以，你要嚴嚴的責備他們，使他們在信仰［faith］上純全無疵，
|
|
14 Not giving heed4337 to Jewish2451 fables,3454 and commandments1785 of men,444 that turn654 from the truth.225
|
14 不聽猶太人荒渺的言語和轉離真理［turn from the truth］之人的誡命。
|
|
15 To the pure2513 all3956 things are pure:2513 but to them that are defiled3392 and unbelieving571 is nothing3762 pure;2513 but even2532 their mind3563 and conscience4893 is defiled.3392
|
15 在潔淨的人，凡物都潔淨；在污穢不信的人，甚麼都不潔淨，連心思［mind］和良心［conscience］也都污穢了。
|
|
16 They profess3670 that they know1492 God;2316 but in works2041 they deny720 him, being5607 abominable,947 and disobedient,545 and to every3956 good18 work2041 reprobate.96
|
16 他們宣稱［profession］是認識神，行事為人卻不承認他［but in works they deny him］；本是可憎惡的，是叛逆的，在各樣善行［work］上是可廢棄的。
