New International Version NIV
1 Pablo, siervo de Dios y apóstol de Jesucristo, conforme a la fe de los escogidos de Dios y al pleno conocimiento de la verdad que es según la piedad,
1
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—
2 con la esperanza de vida eterna, la cual Dios, que no miente, prometió desde los tiempos eternos,
2
in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3 y manifestó a su debido tiempo su palabra por la predicación que me fue confiada conforme al mandamiento de Dios nuestro Salvador,
3
and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4 a Tito, verdadero hijo en la común fe: Gracia y paz de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Salvador.
4
To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 Por esta causa te dejé en Creta, para que pusieras en orden lo que queda, y designaras ancianos en cada ciudad como te mandé,
5
The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6 esto es, si alguno es irreprensible, marido de una sola mujer, que tenga hijos creyentes, no acusados de disolución ni de rebeldía.
6
An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 Porque el obispo debe ser irreprensible como administrador de Dios, no obstinado, no iracundo, no dado a la bebida, no pendenciero, no amante de ganancias deshonestas,
7
Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 sino hospitalario, amante de lo bueno, prudente, justo, santo, dueño de sí mismo,
8
Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9 reteniendo la palabra fiel que es conforme a la enseñanza, para que sea capaz también de exhortar con sana doctrina y refutar a los que contradicen.
9
He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
10 Porque hay muchos rebeldes, habladores vanos y engañadores, especialmente los de la circuncisión,
10
For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
11 a quienes es preciso tapar la boca, porque están trastornando familias enteras, enseñando, por ganancias deshonestas, cosas que no deben.
11
They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 Uno de ellos, su propio profeta, dijo: Los cretenses son siempre mentirosos, malas bestias, glotones ociosos.
12
One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”
13 Este testimonio es verdadero. Por eso, repréndelos severamente para que sean sanos en la fe,
13
This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
14 no prestando atención a mitos judaicos y a mandamientos de hombres que se apartan de la verdad.
14
and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.
15 Todas las cosas son puras para los puros, mas para los corrompidos e incrédulos nada es puro, sino que tanto su mente como su conciencia están corrompidas.
15
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 Profesan conocer a Dios, pero con sus hechos lo niegan, siendo abominables y desobedientes e inútiles para cualquier obra buena.
16
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
