1PABLO, siervo de Dios, y apóstol de Jesucristo, según la fe de los escogidos de Dios, y el conocimiento de la verdad que es según la piedad,
1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
2Para la esperanza de la vida eterna, la cual Dios, que no puede mentir, prometió antes de los tiempos de los siglos,
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3Y manifestó á sus tiempos su palabra por la predicación, que me es á mí encomendada por mandamiento de nuestro Salvador Dios;
3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4A Tito, verdadero hijo en la común fe: Gracia, misericordia, y paz de Dios Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo Salvador nuestro.
4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que corrigieses lo que falta, y pusieses ancianos por las villas, así como yo te mandé:
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6El que fuere sin crimen, marido de una mujer, que tenga hijos fieles que no estén acusados de disolución, ó contumaces.
6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7Porque es menester que el obispo sea sin crimen, como dispensador de Dios; no soberbio, no iracundo, no amador del vino, no heridor, no codicioso de torpes ganancias;
7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
8Sino hospedador, amador de lo bueno, templado, justo, santo, continente;
8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9Retenedor de la fiel palabra que es conforme á la doctrina: para que también pueda exhortar con sana doctrina, y convencer á los que contradijeren.
9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
10Porque hay aún muchos contumaces, habladores de vanidades, y engañadores de las almas, mayormente los que son de la circuncisión,
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11A los cuales es preciso tapar la boca; que trastornan casas enteras; enseñando lo que no conviene, por torpe ganancia.
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12Dijo uno de ellos, propio profeta de ellos: Los Cretenses, siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, vientres perezosos.
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13Este testimonio es verdadero: por tanto, repréndelos duramente, para que sean sanos en la fe,
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14No atendiendo á fábulas judaicas, y á mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15Todas las cosas son limpias á los limpios; mas á los contaminados é infieles nada es limpio: antes su alma y conciencia están contaminadas.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16Profésanse conocer á Dios; mas con los hechos lo niegan, siendo abominables y rebeldes, reprobados para toda buena obra.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
