Weh der Welt der Ärgernisse halben! Es muß ja Ärgernis kommen; doch weh dem Menschen, durch welchen Ärgernis kommt!
¡Ay del mundo por los escándalos! porque necesario es que vengan escándalos; mas ¡ay de aquel hombre por el cual viene el escándalo!
¡Ay del mundo por las ocasiones de tropiezo! Es inevitable que lleguen los tropiezos, pero ¡ay de la persona por quien viene el tropiezo!
Malheur au monde à cause des scandales! Car il est nécessaire qu'il arrive des scandales; mais malheur à l'homme par qui le scandale arrive!
Guai al mondo per gli scandali! perciocchè, bene è necessario che scandali avvengano; ma nondimeno, guai a quell’uomo per cui lo scandalo avviene!
Ai do mundo, por causa dos escândalos; porque é mister que venham escândalos, mas ai daquele homem por quem o escândalo vem!
這世界有禍了,因為它使人跌倒;絆倒人的事是免不了的,但那絆倒人的有禍了!
