Et ait ad discipulos suos: Impossibile est ut non veniant scandala: væ autem illi per quem veniunt.

And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.

And he said to his disciples, It is impossible that hurt should never be done to men’s consciences; but woe betide the man who is the cause of it.

Utilius est illi si lapis molaris imponatur circa collum ejus, et projiciatur in mare quam ut scandalizet unum de pusillis istis.

It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.

Better for him to have had a mill-stone tied about his neck, and to be cast into the sea, than to have hurt the conscience of one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.

Keep good watch over yourselves. As for thy brother, if he is in fault, tax him with it, and if he is sorry for it, forgive him;

Et si septies in die peccaverit in te, et septies in die conversus fuerit ad te, dicens: Pœnitet me, dimitte illi.

And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent; forgive him.

nay, if he does thee wrong seven times in the day, and seven times in the day comes back to thee and says, I am sorry, thou shalt forgive him.

Et dixerunt apostoli Domino: Adauge nobis fidem.

And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.

The apostles said to the Lord, Give us more faith.

Dixit autem Dominus: Si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis huic arbori moro: Eradicare, et transplantare in mare, et obediet vobis.

And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.

And the Lord said, If you had faith, though it were like a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Uproot thyself and plant thyself in the sea, and it would obey you.

Quis autem vestrum habens servum arantem aut pascentem, qui regresso de agro dicat illi: Statim transi, recumbe:

But which of you, having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:

If any one of you had a servant following the plough, or herding the sheep, would he say to him, when he came back from the farm, Go and fall to at once?

et non dicat ei: Para quod cœnem, et præcinge te, et ministra mihi donec manducem, et bibam, et post hæc tu manducabis, et bibes?

And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?

Would he not say to him, Prepare my supper, and then gird thyself and wait upon me while I eat and drink; thou shalt eat and drink thyself afterwards?

Numquid gratiam habet servo illi, quia fecit quæ ei imperaverat?

Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?

Does he hold himself bound in gratitude to such a servant, for obeying his commands?

non puto. Sic et vos cum feceritis omnia quæ præcepta sunt vobis, dicite: Servi inutiles sumus: quod debuimus facere, fecimus.

I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

I do not think it of him; and you, in the same way, when you have done all that was commanded you, are to say, We are servants, and worthless; it was our duty to do what we have done.

And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

One of them, finding that he was cured, came back, praising God aloud,

And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.

and threw himself at Jesus’ feet with his face to the ground, to thank him; and this was a Samaritan.

Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: Nonne decem mundati sunt? et novem ubi sunt?

And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?

Jesus answered, Were not all ten made clean? And the other nine, where are they?

nam, sicut fulgur coruscans de sub cælo in ea quæ sub cælo sunt, fulget: ita erit Filius hominis in die sua.

For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

Et sicut factum est in diebus Noë, ita erit et in diebus Filii hominis:

And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

In the days when the Son of Man comes, all will be as it was in the days of Noe;

edebant et bibebant: uxores ducebant et dabantur ad nuptias, usque in diem, qua intravit Noë in arcam: et venit diluvium, et perdidit omnes.

They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.

they ate, they drank, they married and were given in marriage, until the day when Noe went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.

In that day, if a man is on the house-top and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them with him; and if a man is in the fields, he too must beware of turning back.

Memores estote uxoris Lot.

Remember Lot’s wife.

Remember Lot’s wife.
