2TITfrontintrom2jl0# Introduction à Tite<br><br>## 1e partie : Introduction générale<br><br>### Aperçu du livre de Tite<br><br>1. Paul ordonne à Tite de nommer des chefs pieux. (1:1-16)<br>2. Paul ordonne à Tite de former les gens à vivre une vie pieuse. (2:1-3:11)<br>3. Paul termine en partageant certains de ses plans et en envoyant des salutations à divers croyants. (3:12-15)<br><br>### Qui a écrit le Livre de Tite ?<br><br>Paul a écrit le livre de Tite. Paul était de la ville de Tarse. Il avait été connu sous le nom de Saul au début de sa vie. Avant de devenir chrétien, Paul était un pharisien. Il a persécuté les Chrétiens. Après être devenu chrétien, il a voyagé plusieurs fois à travers lEmpire Romain pour parler de Jésus aux gens.<br><br>### De quoi parle le Livre de Tite ?<br><br>Paul a écrit cette lettre à Titus, son compagnon de travail, qui dirigeait les églises de lîle de Crète. Paul la instruit sur la sélection des dirigeants de léglise. Paul a également décrit comment les croyants devraient se comporter les uns envers les autres. Il les a tous encouragés à vivre dune manière qui plaît à Dieu.<br><br>### Comment traduire le titre de ce livre ?<br><br>Les traducteurs peuvent choisir dappeler ce livre par son titre traditionnel, « Tite ». Ou bien, ils peuvent choisir un titre plus clair, comme “Lettre de Paul à Tite” ou “Une lettre à Tite”. (Voir : [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])<br><br>## Deuxième partie : Concepts religieux et culturels importants<br><br>### Dans quels rôles les gens peuvent-ils servir au sein de lÉglise ?<br><br>Il y a quelques enseignements dans le Livre de Tite sur la question de savoir si une femme ou un homme divorcé peut occuper des postes de direction au sein de léglise. Les érudits sont en désaccord sur le sens de ces enseignements. Une étude plus approfondie de ces questions pourrait être nécessaire avant de traduire ce livre.<br><br>## 3e partie : Problèmes importants de traduction<br><br>### Le singulier et le pluriel du pronom personnel de la 2e personne<br><br>Dans ce livre, le mot “Je” fait référence à Paul. Mais le mot “tu” est presque toujours au singulier et fait référence à Tite. Une exception est notée à 3:15. (Voir : [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]] and [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])<br><br>### Que signifie **Dieu notre Sauveur** ?<br><br>Cest une expression courante dans cette lettre. Paul voulait faire réfléchir les lecteurs sur la façon dont Dieu leur a pardonné en Christ davoir péché contre lui, et en leur pardonnant, il les a sauvés de la punition qui viendra lorsquil jugera tout le monde. Une expression semblable dans cette lettre est **notre grand Dieu et Sauveur Jésus-Christ**.
3TIT1introc7me0# Tite 1. Notes génerales<br><br>## Structure et forme<br><br>Paul introduit formellement cette lettre dans les versets 1-4. Les écrivains commençaient souvent des lettres de cette façon dans lancien Proche-Orient.<br><br>Aux versets 6-9, Paul énumère plusieurs qualités quun homme doit avoir sil veut être un ancien dans léglise (Voir : rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns) Paul donne une liste comparable dans 1 Timothée 3.<br><br>## Concepts spéciaux de ce chapitre<br><br>### Ancien<br><br>Léglise a utilisé des titres divers pour ses dirigeants. Quelques-uns de ces titres comprennent surveillant, ancien, pasteur et évêque.<br><br>## Autres difficultés de traduction possibles dans ce chapitre<br><br>### Devrait, peut, doit<br><br>Le GLT utilise des mots différents qui indiquent des exigences ou des obligations. Ces verbes ont des niveaux de force différents auxquels ils sont associés. Ces différences subtiles pourraient être difficiles à traduire. Le GST traduit ces verbes de manière plus générale.

Paul considère que la relation avec Christ par la foi est plus importante que la relation biologique.

L'objectif de l'ancien est de s'accrocher fermement au message digne de confiance pour quil soit capable d'encourager les autres et de réprimander ceux qui s'opposent à lui. Utilisez un connecteur dans votre langue qui montre clairement cet objectif. (Voir : [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-goal]])

50TIT2introh3il0# Titus 2 General Notes<br><br>## Special concepts in this chapter<br><br>### Gender roles<br><br>Scholars are divided over how to understand this passage in its historical and cultural context. Some scholars believe men and women are perfectly equal in all things. Other scholars believe God created men and women to serve in distinctly different roles in marriage and the church. Translators should be careful not to let how they understand this issue affect how they translate this passage.<br><br>### Slavery<br><br>Paul does not write in this chapter about whether slavery is good or bad. Paul teaches slaves to faithfully serve their masters. He teaches all believers to be godly and live rightly in every situation.
51TIT21lfu10Connecting Statement:Paul continues giving Titus reasons to preach Gods word, and explains how the older men, older women, young men, and slaves or servants should live as believers.
52TIT21tpi2figs-explicitσὺ δὲ1But youHere, **you** is singular and refers to Titus. If it is helpful, you can include the name “Titus” here as in the UST ([[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
53TIT21ph2jτῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ1with sound teachingSee the note on [Titus 1:9](../01/09/pzi1). Alternate translation: “with sound doctrine” or “with correct teachings”
54TIT22xyz3figs-ellipsisπρεσβύτας…εἶναι1Older men are to beThe Greek does not have **are**, but only “Older men to be.” We need to supply a verb here, drawing from the idea of **speak** in the previous verse, such as **teach** or **exhort**. Alternate translation: “Teach older men to be” (See: [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
55TIT22xy13figs-doubletνηφαλίους…σεμνούς, σώφρονας1temperate, dignified, sensibleThese three words are very close in meaning and may be combined into one or two terms if the target language does not have three separate terms. (See: [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

62TIT23gl8efigs-ellipsisπρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως1Older women likewise are to beThe Greek does not have **are to be**, but only “older women likewise.” We need to continue the verbal idea from the previous two verses and apply that here, as well, such as **teach** or **exhort**. Alternate translation: “In the same way, teach older women” or “Also teach older women” (See: [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
63TIT23v9cpδιαβόλους1slanderersThis word refers to people who say bad things about other people whether they are true or not.

66TIT23abc4καλοδιδασκάλους1but to be teachers of what is goodThe Greek word used here means “a teacher of what is good”. The phrase **but to be** has been added in the English to contrast this good quality with the two preceding bad qualities. Consider if you need to use a similar word to make a contrast between the good and bad qualities.
67TIT24abc5φιλάνδρους1lovers of their husbands“lovers of their own husbands”
68TIT24abcaφιλοτέκνους1and lovers of their children“and lovers of their own children”

74TIT27ym6xτύπον καλῶν ἔργων1as an example of good works“as an example of one who does right and proper things”
75TIT28xy14ὑγιῆ1soundThis word **sound** has the same basic meaning as “uncorrupted” in 2:7. In 2:7, Paul states the meaning negatively: “uncorrupted,” meaning, “without error,” and in 2:8 he states the meaning positively: **sound**, meaning “correct.” Both terms refer to Tituss teaching. Use either positive or negative terms in the target language, or use one term with this meaning in both places if it is difficult to use two terms.
76TIT28xt6vfigs-hypoἵνα ὁ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐντραπῇ1so that the opponent may be ashamedThis presents a hypothetical situation in which someone opposes Titus and then becomes ashamed for having done so.

This can be shown clearly. Alternate translation: “what we are longing for, the blessed and glorious appearing” (See: [[rc://fr/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys]])
