Guggenheimer (Hebrew/Aramaic)תַּנִּי מִסְתַּלְּקִין לִצְדָדִין מִפְּנֵי יְתֵידוֹת דְּרָכִים. וּבְשָׁעָה שֶׁהוּא מִשְתַּקֵּעַ אֲפִילוּ בְשָׂדֶה שֶׁהִיא מְלֵיאָה כוּרְכְּמִין. אָמַר רִבִּי אַבָּהוּ מַעֲשֶׂה בְּרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ שֶׁהָיוּ בַדֶּרֶךְ וְהָיוּ מִסְתַּלְּקִין לִצְדָדִין מִפְּנֵי יְתֵידוֹת דְּרָכִים וְרָאוּ אֶת רִבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶן פַּפּוֹס שֶׁהָיָה מִשְׁתַּקֵּעַ וּבָא כְנֶגְדָּן. אָמַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל לְרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מִי הוּא זֶה שֶׁמַּרְאֶה עַצְמוֹ בְאֶצְבַּע אָמַר לוֹ יְהוּדָה בֶן פַּפּוֹס הוּא שֶׁכָּל מַעֲשָׂיו לְשׁוּם שָׁמַיִם. אָמַר לֵיהּ וְלָא כֵן תַּנִּי כָל דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא שֶׁל שְׁבָח לֹא כָל הָרוֹצֶה לַעֲשוֹת עַצְמוֹ יָחִיד עוֹשֶׂה. תַּלְמִיד חָכָם עוֹשֶׂה אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן מִינּוּ אוֹתוֹ פַּרְנָס עַל הַצִּיבּוּר. אָמַר לֵיהּ וְהָא תַנִּי כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁל צַעַר כָּל הָרוֹצֵה לַעֲשׂוֹת עַצְמוֹ יָחִיד עוֹשֶׂה. תַּלְמִיד חָכָם עוֹשֶה וְתָבוֹא עָלָיו בְּרָכָה. אָמַר רִבִּי זְעִירָא וּבִלְחוּד דְּלָא יְבַזֶּה חוֹרָנִין.
English · Heinrich W. GuggenheimerIt was stated: One may step to one side because of obstacles on the road. And when one sinks, even into a field full of saffron. Rebbi Abbahu said: It happened that Rabban Gamliel and Rebbi Joshua were on the road and stepped on the side because of obstacles on the road when they saw Rebbi Yehudah ben Pappos, who was sinking, coming towards them. Rabban Gamliël said to Rebbi Joshua: Who is this one who makes an exhibition of himself? He answered: This is Yehudah ben Pappos, all whose deeds are done for Heaven’s sake. He said to him: Did we not formulate “In anything that gives praise, not everyone who wants to distinguish himself may do so. A scholar does except if he has been appointed to a position of public authority.” He answered him: Did we not also formulate, “In anything that gives pain, everyone who wants to distinguish himself may do so. A scholar does and may blessing come to him.” Rebbi Zeïra said, but only if he does not shame others.
