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

Es wäre ihm besser, daß man einen Mühlstein an seinen Hals hängte und würfe ihm ins Meer, denn daß er dieser Kleinen einen ärgert.
Mejor le fuera, si le pusiesen al cuello una piedra de molino, y le lanzasen en el mar, que escandalizar a uno de estos pequeñitos.
Il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu'on mît à son cou une pierre de moulin et qu'on le jetât dans la mer, que s'il scandalisait un de ces petits.
Meglio per lui sarebbe che una macina d’asino gli fosse appiccata al collo, e che fosse gettato nel mare, che di scandalezzare uno di questi piccoli.
Melhor lhe fora que lhe pusessem ao pescoço uma mó de atafona, e fosse lançado ao mar, do que fazer tropeçar um destes pequenos.
人若把這些小子中的一個絆倒的,還不如把磨石拴在他的頸項上,丟在海裏。
