PāliPali

“Someone with ten qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What ten? It’s when someone kills living creatures. They’re violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to all living beings.

“Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi dasahi? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pāṇātipātī hoti luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno sabbapāṇabhūtesu.

They steal. … They commit sexual misconduct. … They lie. … They backbite. … They speak harshly. … They talk nonsense. … They’re covetous. … They have cruel intentions. … They have wrong view. … Someone with these ten qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.

Adinnādāyī hoti … kāmesumicchācārī hoti … musāvādī hoti … pisuṇavāco hoti … pharusavāco hoti … samphappalāpī hoti … abhijjhālu hoti … byāpannacitto hoti … micchādiṭṭhiko hoti viparītadassano: ‘natthi dinnaṁ …pe… sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedentī’ti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dasahi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.

Someone with ten qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there. What ten? It’s when someone gives up killing living creatures, renouncing the rod and the sword. They’re scrupulous and kind, living full of sympathy for all living beings.

Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi dasahi? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pāṇātipātaṁ pahāya pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti nihitadaṇḍo nihitasattho lajjī dayāpanno, sabbapāṇabhūtahitānukampī viharati.

They give up stealing. … They give up sexual misconduct. … They give up lying. … They give up backbiting. … They give up harsh speech. … They give up talking nonsense. … They’re content. … They’re kind hearted. … They have right view. … Someone with these ten qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.”

Adinnādānaṁ pahāya adinnādānā paṭivirato hoti … kāmesumicchācāraṁ pahāya kāmesumicchācārā paṭivirato hoti … musāvādaṁ pahāya musāvādā paṭivirato hoti … pisuṇaṁ vācaṁ pahāya pisuṇāya vācāya paṭivirato hoti … pharusaṁ vācaṁ pahāya pharusāya vācāya paṭivirato hoti … samphappalāpaṁ pahāya samphappalāpā paṭivirato hoti … anabhijjhālu hoti … abyāpannacitto hoti … sammādiṭṭhiko hoti aviparītadassano: ‘atthi dinnaṁ …pe… ye imañca lokaṁ parañca lokaṁ sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedentī’ti.
