Tito 1
1. Pablo, siervo de Dios y apóstol de Jesucristo, para la fe de los escogidos de Dios, y el conocimiento de la verdad que es conforme a la piedad Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety,2en la esperanza de la vida eterna, que Dios, el que no miente, prometió antes de los tiempos eternos, in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time,3que a su debido tiempo ha dado a conocer su palabra por la predicación a mí confiada por el mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador: which, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior;4a Tito, hijo verdadero según la fe que nos es común: gracia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Salvador. to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior.5Por esta causa te he dejado en Creta, para que arregles las cosas que faltan y para que constituyas presbíteros en cada ciudad, como yo te ordené, For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you)6si hay quien sea irreprochable, marido de una sola mujer, y tenga hijos creyentes, no tachados de libertinaje ni de rebeldía. if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination.7Porque el obispo ha de ser irreprochable, como que es dispensador de Dios; no arrogante, no colérico, no dado al vino, no pendenciero, no codicioso de vil ganancia; And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not desiring tainted profit,8sino hospitalario, amador del bien, prudente, justo, santo, continente. but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste,9Debe atenerse a la palabra fiel, la cual es conforme a la enseñanza, a fin de que pueda instruir en la sana doctrina y refutar a los que contradicen. embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict.10Porque hay muchos rebeldes, vanos habladores y embaucadores, sobre todo entre los de la circuncisión, For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision.11a quienes es menester tapar la boca; hombres que trastornan casas enteras, enseñando por torpe ganancia lo que no deben. These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain.12Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: “Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos”. A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”13Este testimonio es verdadero. Por tanto repréndelos severamente, a fin de que sean sanos en la fe, This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,14y no den oídos a fábulas judaicas, ni a mandamientos de hombres apartados de la verdad. not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth.15Para los limpios todo es limpio; mas para los contaminados e incrédulos nada hay limpio, pues su mente y conciencia están manchadas. All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted.16Profesan conocer a Dios, mas con sus obras le niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes y réprobos para toda obra buena. They claim that they know God. But, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work.
