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 hurt should never be done to men’s consciences; but woe betide the man who is the cause of it.

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

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

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.

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.

Attendite vobis: Si peccaverit in te frater tuus, increpa illum: et si pœnitentiam egerit, dimitte illi.

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;

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

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

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.

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.

Et dixerunt apostoli Domino: Adauge nobis fidem.

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

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

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.

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

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?

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:

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

et cecidit in faciem ante pedes ejus, gratias agens: et hic erat Samaritanus.

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

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

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

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

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

Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena.

There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

Et dicent vobis: Ecce hic, et ecce illic. Nolite ire, neque sectemini:

Men will be saying to you, See, he is here, or See, he is there; do not turn aside and follow them;

And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:

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

the Son of Man, when his time comes, will be like the lightning which lightens from one border of heaven to the other.

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.

Primum autem oportet illum multa pati, et reprobari a generatione hac.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Memores estote uxoris Lot.

Remember Lot’s wife.

I tell you, on that night, where two men are sleeping in one bed, one will be taken and the other left;

I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

duæ erunt molentes in unum: una assumetur, et altera relinquetur: duo in agro: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur.

one woman taken, one left, as they grind together at the mill, one man taken, one left, as they work together in the fields.
