But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Der es aber nicht weiß, hat aber getan, was der Streiche wert ist, wird wenig Streiche leiden. Denn welchem viel gegeben ist, bei dem wird man viel suchen; und welchem viel befohlen ist, von dem wird man viel fordern.
Mas el que no entendió, e hizo cosas dignas de azotes, será azotado poco: porque a cualquiera que fue dado mucho, mucho será vuelto a demandar de Él; y al que encomendaron mucho, más le será pedido.
Pero el que no la conocía e hizo cosas dignas de azotes recibirá pocos. A todo aquel a quien se le dio mucho se le exigirá mucho; y a quien le confiaron mucho le pedirán más.
Mais celui qui, ne l'ayant pas connue, a fait des choses dignes de châtiment, sera battu de peu de coups. On demandera beaucoup à qui l'on a beaucoup donné, et on exigera davantage de celui à qui l'on a beaucoup confié.
Ma colui che non l’ha saputa, se fa cose degne di battitura, sarà battuto di poche battiture; ed a chiunque è stato dato assai sarà ridomandato assai; ed appo cui è stato messo assai in deposito, da lui ancora sarà tanto più richiesto.
Mas o que a não soube, e fez coisas dignas de açoites, com poucos açoites será castigado. E, a qualquer que muito for dado, muito se lhe pedirá, e ao que muito se lhe confiou, muito mais se lhe pedirá.
至於那不知道而做了當受責打的事的,要少受責打。多給誰,就向誰多取;多託誰,就向誰多要。」
