Rabban Gamliel, the son of Rabbi Judah HaNassi, said: It is good [to combine] the study of Torah with an occupation, for the effort required by them both keeps sin out of mind; while all Torah-study not combined with work will in the end cease and leads to sin. All who occupy themselves with the affairs of the community shall be engaged with them for the sake of Heaven, for the merit of their fathers assists them and their righteousness endures forever. And upon you—[says God]—I will bestow great reward as though you had accomplished it [all by yourselves]. ב ra|BAN gam|li-EL b'NO shel ra|BI ye|hu|DAH ha|na|SI o|MER: ya|FEH tal|MUD to|RAH im DE|rech E|retz, shey|gi-AT sh'nei|HEM mash|ka|CHAT a|VON, ve|CHOL to|RAH she-EIN i|MAH me|la|CHAH so|FAH b'te|LAH ve|go|re|RET a|VON, ve|CHOL ha-os|KIM im ha|tzi|BUR yih|YU os|KIM i|ma|HEM le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, shez|CHUT a|vo|TAM me|sa|ya|TAM, ve|tzid|ka|TAM o|ME|det la-AD, ve-a|TEM, ma-a|LEH a|NI a|lei|CHEM sa|CHAR har|BEH ke-i|LU a|si|TEM. ב rab|BAN gam|li|ʾEL be|NO shel rab|BI ye|hu|DHAH han|na|śIʾ ʾo|MER: ya|FEH thal|MUDH to|RAH ʿim DE|rekh ʾE|retz, shey|ye|ghi|ʿATH she|ne|HEM mash|ka|ḥATH ʿa|VON, ve|KHOL to|RAH she|ʾEN ʿim|MAH me|laʾ|KHAH so|FAH be|ṭe|LAH ve|gho|re|RETH ʿa|VON, ve|KHOL ha|ʿo|se|QIM ʿim hat|tzib|BUR yih|YU ʿo|se|QIM ʿim|ma|HEM le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, shez|ze|KHUTH ʾa|vo|THAM me|say|yaʿ|TAM, ve|tzidh|qa|THAM ʿo|ME|dheth la|ʿADH, ve|ʾat|TEM, ma|ʿa|LEH ʾa|NI ʿa|le|KHEM śa|KHAR har|BEH ke|ʾil|LU ʿa|śi|THEM. ב rab|BAN gam|li|EL be|NO shel rab|BI ye|hu|DAH han|na|SI o|MER: ya|FEH tal|MUD to|RAH ʿim DE|rekh E|retz, shey|ye|gi|ʿAT she|ne|HEM mash|ka|ḥAT ʿa|VON, ve|KHOL to|RAH she|EN ʿim|MAH me|la|KHAH so|FAH be|te|LAH ve|go|re|RET ʿa|VON, ve|KHOL ha|ʿo|se|QIM ʿim hat|tzib|BUR yih|YU ʿo|se|QIM ʿim|ma|HEM le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, shez|ze|KHUT a|vo|TAM me|say|yaʿ|TAM, ve|tzid|qa|TAM ʿo|ME|det la|ʿAD, ve|at|TEM, ma|ʿa|LEH a|NI ʿa|le|KHEM sa|KHAR har|BEH ke|il|LU ʿa|si|TEM. ב ra|BON gam|li-EIL b'NOY shel ra|BI y'hu|DOH ha|no|SI oy|MEIR: yo|FEH sal|MUD toy|ROH im DE|rech E|retz, shey'|gi-AS sh'nei|HEM mash|ka|CHAS o|VOYN, v'CHOL toy|ROH she-EIN i|MOH m'lo|CHOH soy|FOH b'tei|LOH v'goy|re|RES o|VOYN, v'CHOL ho-oys'|KIM im ha|tzi|BUR yih|YU oys'|KIM i|mo|HEM l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim, shez'|CHUS a|voy|SOM m'sa|ya|TOM, v'tzid|ko|SOM oy|ME|des lo-AD, v'a|TEM, ma-a|LEH a|NI a|lei|CHEM so|CHOR har|BEIH k'i|LU a|si|SEM.

He used to say: Fulfill His will as you would your own will, so that He may fulfill your will as though it were His will; set aside your will because of His will, so that He may set aside the will of others before your will. Hillel said: Do not separate yourself from the community; do not be sure of yourself until the day you die; do not condemn your fellowman until you have stood in his place; do not make an [ambiguous] statement which is not readily understood [in the belief] that it will ultimately be understood; and do not say, “When I will have free time I will study,” for perhaps you will never have free time. ד hu ha|YAH o|MER: a|SEH re|tzo|NO kir|tzo|ne|CHA, k'DEI she|ya-a|SEH re|tzo|ne|CHA kir|tzo|NO, ba|TEL re|tzo|ne|CHA mip|NEI re|tzo|NO k'DEI shey|va|TEL re|TZON a|che|RIM mip|NEI re|tzo|NE|cha. hi|LEL o|MER: al tif|ROSH min ha|tzi|BUR, ve-AL ta-a|MEIN be-atz|me|CHA ad yom mot|CHA, ve-AL ta|DIN et cha|ve|re|CHA ad she|ta|GIA lim|ko|MO, ve-AL to|MAR da|VAR she-I ef|SHAR lish|MOA she|so|FO le|hi|sha|MA, ve-AL to|MAR lich|she-ef|NEH esh|NEH, she|MA lo ti|pa|NEH. ד huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: ʿa|śEH re|tzo|NO kir|tzo|ne|KHA, ke|DHE shey|ya|ʿa|śEH re|tzo|ne|KHA kir|tzo|NO, baṭ|ṭEL re|tzo|ne|KHA mip|pe|NE re|tzo|NO ke|DHE shey|ye|vaṭ|ṭEL re|TZON ʾa|ḥe|RIM mip|pe|NE re|tzo|NE|kha. hil|LEL ʾo|MER: ʾal tif|ROSH min hat|tzib|BUR, ve|ʾAL ta|ʾa|MEN be|ʿatz|me|KHA ʿadh yom mo|the|KHA, ve|ʾAL ta|DHIN ʾeth ḥa|ve|re|KHA ʿadh shet|tag|GIAʿ lim|qo|MO, ve|ʾAL toʾ|MAR da|VAR she|ʾI ʾef|SHAR lish|MOAʿ shes|so|FO le|his|sha|MAʿ, ve|ʾAL toʾ|MAR likh|she|ʾef|NEH ʾesh|NEH, shem|MAʾ loʾ tip|pa|NEH. ד hu ha|YAH o|MER: ʿa|SEH re|tzo|NO kir|tzo|ne|KHA, ke|DE shey|ya|ʿa|SEH re|tzo|ne|KHA kir|tzo|NO, bat|TEL re|tzo|ne|KHA mip|pe|NE re|tzo|NO ke|DE shey|ye|vat|TEL re|TZON a|ḥe|RIM mip|pe|NE re|tzo|NE|kha. hil|LEL o|MER: al tif|ROSH min hat|tzib|BUR, ve|AL ta|a|MEN be|ʿatz|me|KHA ʿad yom mo|te|KHA, ve|AL ta|DIN et ḥa|ve|re|KHA ʿad shet|tag|GIAʿ lim|qo|MO, ve|AL to|MAR da|VAR she|I ef|SHAR lish|MOAʿ shes|so|FO le|his|sha|MAʿ, ve|AL to|MAR likh|she|ef|NEH esh|NEH, shem|MA lo tip|pa|NEH. ד hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: a|SEIH r'tzoy|NOY kir|tzoyn'|CHO, k'DEI she|ya-a|SEH r'tzoyn'|CHO kir|tzoy|NOY, ba|TEIL r'tzoyn'|CHO mip'|NEI r'tzoy|NOY k'DEI shey'|va|TEIL r'TZOYN a|chei|RIM mip'|NEI r'tzoy|NE|cho. hi|LEIL oy|MEIR: al tif|ROYSH min ha|tzi|BUR, v'AL ta-a|MEIN b'atz|m'CHO ad yoym moys'|CHO, v'AL to|DIN es cha|veir'|CHO ad she|ta|GIA lim|koy|MOY, v'AL toy|MAR do|VOR she-I ef|SHAR lish|MOYA she|soy|FOY l'hi|sho|MA, v'AL toy|MAR lich|she-ef|NEH esh|NEH, she|MO loy ti|po|NEH.

He used to say: A boor cannot be sin-fearing, nor can an ignoramus be a chassid [one who does more than the strict letter of the law requires]; the bashful person cannot learn, neither can the short-tempered teach; nor can anyone who is much occupied in trade become a scholar; and in a place where there are no men, strive to be a man. ה hu ha|YAH o|MER: ein bur ye|REI chet, ve|LO am ha-a|RETZ cha|SID, ve|LO ha|bay|SHAN la|MED, ve|LO ha|kap|DAN me|la|MED, ve|LO chol ha|mar|BEH vi|se|cho|RAH mach|KIM, u|va|ma|KOM she-EIN a|na|SHIM, hish|ta|DEL lih|YOT ish. ה huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: ʾen bur ye|REʾ ḥeṭʾ, ve|LOʾ ʿam ha|ʾa|RETZ ḥa|SIDH, ve|LOʾ hab|bay|SHAN la|MEDH, ve|LOʾ haq|qap|pe|DHAN me|lam|MEDH, ve|LOʾ khol ham|mar|BEH vis|se|ḥo|RAH maḥ|KIM, u|vam|ma|QOM she|ʾEN ʾa|na|SHIM, hish|tad|DEL lih|YOTH ʾish. ה hu ha|YAH o|MER: en bur ye|RE ḥet, ve|LO ʿam ha|a|RETZ ḥa|SID, ve|LO hab|bay|SHAN la|MED, ve|LO haq|qap|pe|DAN me|lam|MED, ve|LO khol ham|mar|BEH vis|se|ḥo|RAH maḥ|KIM, u|vam|ma|QOM she|EN a|na|SHIM, hish|tad|DEL lih|YOT ish. ה hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: ein bur y'REI cheit, v'LOY am ho-o|RETZ cho|SID, v'LOY ha|bay|SHON lo|MEID, v'LOY ha|kap'|DON m'la|MEID, v'LOY chol ha|mar|BEH vis'|choy|ROH mach|KIM, u|va|mo|KOYM she-EIN a|no|SHIM, hish|ta|DEIL lih|YOYS ish.

He also saw a skull floating on the water; he said to it: Because you drowned others, they drowned you; and ultimately those who drowned you will themselves be drowned. ו af hu ra-AH gul|GO|let a|CHAT she|tza|FAH al p'NEI ha|ma|YIM, a|MAR lah: al da-a|TEFT at|FUCH, ve|SOF me|tay|fa|YICH ye|tu|FUN. ו ʾaf huʾ ra|ʾAH ghul|GO|leth ʾa|ḥATH shet|tza|FAH ʿal pe|NE ham|ma|YIM, ʾa|MAR lah: ʿal da|ʾa|ṭEFT ʾaṭ|FUKH, ve|SOF me|ṭay|ye|fa|YIKH ye|ṭu|FUN. ו af hu ra|AH gul|GO|let a|ḥAT shet|tza|FAH ʿal pe|NE ham|ma|YIM, a|MAR lah: ʿal da|a|TEFT at|FUKH, ve|SOF me|tay|ye|fa|YIKH ye|tu|FUN. ו af hu ro-OH gul|GOY|les a|CHAS she|tzo|FOH al p'NEI ha|mo|YIM, o|MAR loh: al da-a|TEIFT at|FUCH, v'SOYF m'tay'|fo|YICH y'tu|FUN.
