(Заⷱ҇ т҃.) Па́ѵелъ, ра́бъ бж҃їй, а҆пⷭ҇лъ же і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ, по вѣ́рѣ и҆збра́нныхъ бж҃їихъ и҆ ра́зꙋмꙋ и҆́стины, ꙗ҆́же по бл҃гочⷭ҇тїю,

¹

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

²

ѡ҆ оу҆пова́нїи жи́зни вѣ́чныѧ, ю҆́же ѡ҆бѣтова̀ нело́жный бг҃ъ пре́жде лѣ́тъ вѣ́чныхъ,

²

in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;

³

ꙗ҆ви́ же во времена̀ своѧ̑ сло́во своѐ проповѣ́данїемъ, є҆́же мнѣ̀ порꙋ́чено бы́сть по повелѣ́нїю сп҃си́телѧ на́шегѡ бг҃а:

³

but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

⁴

ті́тꙋ, прⷭ҇номꙋ ча́дꙋ по ѻ҆́бщей вѣ́рѣ: блгⷣть, млⷭ҇ть, ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ сп҃са на́шегѡ.

⁴

to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

⁵

(Заⷱ҇.) Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ста́вихъ тѧ̀ въ кри́тѣ, да недоконча̑ннаѧ и҆спра́виши и҆ оу҆стро́иши по всѣ̑мъ гра́дѡмъ пресвѵ́теры, ꙗ҆́коже тебѣ̀ а҆́зъ повелѣ́хъ:

⁵

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;

⁶

а҆́ще кто̀ є҆́сть непоро́ченъ, є҆ди́ныѧ жены̀ мꙋ́жъ, ча̑да и҆мы́й вѣ̑рна, не во оу҆коре́нїи блꙋда̀, и҆лѝ непокори̑ва.

⁶

if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.

⁷

Подоба́етъ бо є҆пі́скопꙋ без̾ поро́ка бы́ти, ꙗ҆́коже бж҃їю строи́телю: не себѣ̀ оу҆гожда́ющꙋ, (не де́рзꙋ, не напра́сливꙋ,) не гнѣвли́вꙋ, не пїѧ́ницѣ, не бі́йцѣ, не скверностѧжа́телнꙋ,

⁷

For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;

⁸

но страннолюби́вꙋ, бл҃голю́бцꙋ, цѣломⷣреннꙋ, првⷣнꙋ, прпⷣбнꙋ, воздержа́телнꙋ,

⁸

but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;

⁹

держа́щемꙋсѧ вѣ́рнагѡ словесѐ по оу҆че́нїю, да си́ленъ бꙋ́детъ и҆ оу҆тѣ́шати во здра́вѣмъ оу҆че́нїи, и҆ проти́вѧщыѧсѧ ѡ҆блича́ти.

⁹

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.

¹⁰

Сꙋ́ть бо мно́зи непокори́ви, сꙋесло́вцы и҆ оу҆мо́мъ прельще́ни, наипа́че же сꙋ́щїи ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ,

¹⁰

For there are many, and they are unruly, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision,

¹¹

и҆́хже подоба́етъ оу҆ста̀ загражда́ти: и҆̀же всѧ̑ до́мы развраща́ютъ, оу҆ча́ще ꙗ҆́же не подоба́етъ, скве́рнагѡ ра́ди прибы́тка.

¹¹

whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

¹²

Рече́ же нѣ́кто ѿ ни́хъ, сво́й и҆̀мъ проро́къ: кри́тѧне при́снѡ лжи́ви, ѕлі́и ѕвѣ́рїе, оу҆трѡ́бы пра̑здныѧ.

¹²

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.

¹³

Свидѣ́телство сїѐ и҆́стинно є҆́сть: є҆ѧ́же ра́ди вины̀ ѡ҆блича́й и҆̀хъ неща́днѡ, да здра́ви бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ вѣ́рѣ,

¹³

This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

¹⁴

не внима́юще і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ ба́снемъ, ни за́повѣдемъ человѣ̑къ ѿвраща́ющихсѧ ѿ и҆́стины.

¹⁴

not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

¹⁵

(Заⷱ҇ т҃а҃.) Всѧ̑ оу҆́бѡ чи̑ста чи̑стымъ: ѡ҆сквернє́нымъ же и҆ невѣ̑рнымъ ничто́же чи́сто, но ѡ҆скверни́сѧ и҆́хъ и҆ оу҆́мъ и҆ со́вѣсть.

¹⁵

To the pure all things are indeed pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

¹⁶

Бг҃а и҆сповѣ́дꙋютъ вѣ́дѣти, а҆ дѣ́лы ѿме́щꙋтсѧ є҆гѡ̀, ме́рзцы сꙋ́ще и҆ непокори́ви и҆ на всѧ́кое дѣ́ло бл҃го́е неискꙋ́сни.

¹⁶

They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
