And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!

2 EtESAM kSudraprANinAm EkasyApi vighnajananAt kaNThabaddhapESaNIkasya tasya sAgarAgAdhajalE majjanaM bhadraM|

It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 yUyaM svESu sAvadhAnAstiSThata; tava bhrAtA yadi tava kinjcid aparAdhyati tarhi taM tarjaya, tEna yadi manaH parivarttayati tarhi taM kSamasva|

Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

4 punarEkadinamadhyE yadi sa tava saptakRtvO'parAdhyati kintu saptakRtva Agatya manaH parivartya mayAparAddham iti vadati tarhi taM kSamasva|

And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.

And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

7 aparaM svadAsE halaM vAhayitvA vA pazUn cArayitvA kSEtrAd AgatE sati taM vadati, Ehi bhOktumupaviza, yuSmAkam EtAdRzaH kOsti?

But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?

8 varanjca pUrvvaM mama khAdyamAsAdya yAvad bhunjjE pivAmi ca tAvad baddhakaTiH paricara pazcAt tvamapi bhOkSyasE pAsyasi ca kathAmIdRzIM kiM na vakSyati?

Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?

9 tEna dAsEna prabhOrAjnjAnurUpE karmmaNi kRtE prabhuH kiM tasmin bAdhitO jAtaH? nEtthaM budhyatE mayA|

Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.

13 dUrE tiSThanata uccai rvaktumArEbhirE, hE prabhO yIzO dayasvAsmAn|

And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.

14 tataH sa tAn dRSTvA jagAda, yUyaM yAjakAnAM samIpE svAn darzayata, tatastE gacchantO rOgAt pariSkRtAH|

And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.

And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 tadA yIzuravadat, dazajanAH kiM na pariSkRtAH? tahyanyE navajanAH kutra?

And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 IzvaraM dhanyaM vadantam EnaM vidEzinaM vinA kOpyanyO na prApyata|

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?

And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.

And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation,

21 ata Etasmin pazya tasmin vA pazya, iti vAkyaM lOkA vaktuM na zakSyanti, Izvarasya rAjatvaM yuSmAkam antarEvAstE|

nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.

22 tataH sa ziSyAn jagAda, yadA yuSmAbhi rmanujasutasya dinamEkaM draSTum vAnjchiSyatE kintu na darziSyatE, IdRkkAla AyAti|

And he said to the disciples, The days will come when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it.

23 tadAtra pazya vA tatra pazyEti vAkyaM lOkA vakSyanti, kintu tESAM pazcAt mA yAta, mAnugacchata ca|

And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.

But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.

It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.
