Rabbi Tzadok said: Do not separate yourself from the community; and do not act as a counselor [when sitting as a judge]; do not make it [the Torah] a crown for self-aggrandizement, nor an axe with which to cut. So too Hillel used to say: He who exploits the crown [of Torah for his own ends] shall perish.¹ Indeed, you have learned from this: Whoever derives personal gain from the words of Torah removes his life from the world. u|le|la|MED lish|MOR ve|la-a|SOT. ra|BI tza|DOK o|MER: al tif|ROSH min ha|tzi|BUR, ve-AL ta-AS atz|me|CHA ke-o|re|CHEI ha|da|ya|NIN, ve-AL ta-a|se|HA a|ta|RAH le|hit|ga|DEL bah, ve|LO kar|DUM lach|TOCH bah, ve|CHACH ha|YAH hi|LEL o|MER: u|de-ish|ta|MESH b'ta|GA cha|LAF, ha la|MAD|ta, kol ha|ne|he|NEH mi|div|REI to|RAH, no|TEL cha|YAV min ha-o|LAM. u|le|lam|MEDH lish|MOR ve|la|ʿa|śOTH. rab|BI tza|DHOQ ʾo|MER: ʾal tif|ROSH min hat|tzib|BUR, ve|ʾAL ta|ʿAś ʿatz|me|KHA ke|ʿo|re|KHE had|day|ya|NIN, ve|ʾAL ta|ʿa|śe|HA ʿa|ṭa|RAH le|hith|gad|DEL bah, ve|LOʾ qar|DUM laḥ|TOKH bah, ve|KHAKH ha|YAH hil|LEL ʾo|MER: u|dhe|ʾish|tam|MESH be|thag|GAʾ ḥa|LAF, haʾ la|MADH|ta, kol han|ne|he|NEH mid|div|RE tho|RAH, no|ṭEL ḥay|YAV min ha|ʿo|LAM. u|le|lam|MED lish|MOR ve|la|ʿa|SOT. rab|BI tza|DOQ o|MER: al tif|ROSH min hat|tzib|BUR, ve|AL ta|ʿAS ʿatz|me|KHA ke|ʿo|re|KHE had|day|ya|NIN, ve|AL ta|ʿa|se|HA ʿa|ta|RAH le|hit|gad|DEL bah, ve|LO qar|DUM laḥ|TOKH bah, ve|KHAKH ha|YAH hil|LEL o|MER: u|de|ish|tam|MESH be|tag|GA ḥa|LAF, ha la|MAD|ta, kol han|ne|he|NEH mid|div|RE to|RAH, no|TEL ḥay|YAV min ha|ʿo|LAM. ul'|la|MEID lish|MOYR v'la-a|SOYS. ra|BI tzo|DOYK oy|MEIR: al tif|ROYSH min ha|tzi|BUR, v'AL ta-AS atz|m'CHO k'oyr'|CHEI ha|da|yo|NIN, v'AL ta-a|se|HO a|to|ROH l'his|ga|DEIL boh, v'LOY kar|DUM lach|TOYCH boh, v'CHOCH ho|YOH hi|LEIL oy|MEIR: ud'-ish|ta|MEISH b'sa|GO cho|LOF, ho lo|MAD|to, kol ha|ne|he|NEH mi|div|REI soy|ROH, noy|TEIL cha|YOV min ho-oy|LOM.

Rabbi Yishmael his son said: [A judge] who refrains from handing down legal judgments [but instead seeks compromise between the litigants] removes from himself enmity, theft, and [the responsibility for] an unnecessary oath; but one who aggrandizes himself by [eagerly] issuing legal decisions is a fool, wicked and arrogant. ז ra|BI yish|ma-EIL b'NO o|MER: ha|cho|SECH atz|MO min ha|DIN, po|REK mi|me|NU ei|VAH ve|ga|ZEL ush|vu-AT shav, ve|ha|GAS li|BO ba|ho|ra-AH, sho|TEH ra|SHA ve|GAS ruach. ז rab|BI yish|ma|ʿEʾL be|NO ʾo|MER: ha|ḥo|śEKH ʿatz|MO min had|DIN, po|REQ mim|men|NU ʾe|VAH ve|gha|ZEL u|she|vu|ʿATH shavʾ, ve|hag|GAS lib|BO ba|ho|ra|ʾAH, sho|ṭEH ra|SHAʿ ve|GHAS ruaḥ. ז rab|BI yish|ma|ʿEL be|NO o|MER: ha|ḥo|SEKH ʿatz|MO min had|DIN, po|REQ mim|men|NU e|VAH ve|ga|ZEL u|she|vu|ʿAT shav, ve|hag|GAS lib|BO ba|ho|ra|AH, sho|TEH ra|SHAʿ ve|GAS ruaḥ. ז ra|BI yish|mo-EIL b'NOY oy|MEIR: ha|choy|SEICH atz|MOY min ha|DIN, poy|REIK mi|me|NU ei|VOH v'go|ZEIL ush'|vu-AS shov, v'ha|GAS li|BOY ba|hoy|ro-OH, shoy|TEH ro|SHO v'GAS ruach.

He used to say: Do not act as judge alone, for none may judge alone except One; and do not say [to your fellow judges], "Accept my view," for they [the majority] may say that [to you], but not you [to them]. ח hu ha|YAH o|MER: al te|HI dan ye|chi|DI, she-EIN dan ye|chi|DI e|LA e|CHAD, ve-AL to|MAR kab|LU DA|ti, she|HEN ra|sha-IN ve|LO a|TAH. ח huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: ʾal te|HI dhan ye|ḥi|DHI, she|ʾEN dan ye|ḥi|DHI ʾel|LAʾ ʾe|ḥADH, ve|ʾAL toʾ|MAR qab|be|LU DHAʿ|ti, she|HEN ras|sha|ʾIN ve|LOʾ ʾat|TAH. ח hu ha|YAH o|MER: al te|HI dan ye|ḥi|DI, she|EN dan ye|ḥi|DI el|LA e|ḥAD, ve|AL to|MAR qab|be|LU DAʿ|ti, she|HEN ras|sha|IN ve|LO at|TAH. ח hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: al t'HI don y'chi|DI, she-EIN don y'chi|DI e|LO e|CHOD, v'AL toy|MAR kab'|LU DA|ti, she|HEIN ra|sho-IN v'LOY o|TOH.

Rabbi Meir said: Minimize your business activities and occupy yourself with the Torah; be of humble spirit before every person; if you should neglect the [study of] Torah, you will have many causes for neglecting [it] confronting you, but if you toil much in the Torah, there is ample reward to be given you. י ra|BI me-IR o|MER: he|VEI me|ma-ET be-E|sek va-a|SOK ba|to|RAH, ve|he|VEI sh'FAL ruach bif|NEI chol a|DAM, ve-IM ba|TAL|ta min ha|to|RAH, yesh le|CHA b'te|LIM har|BEH k'neg|DACH, ve-IM a|MAL|ta va|to|RAH har|BEH, yesh sa|CHAR har|BEH li|TEN lach. י rab|BI me|ʾIR ʾo|MER: he|VE me|ma|ʿEṭ be|ʿE|seq va|ʿa|SOQ bat|to|RAH, ve|he|VE she|FAL ruaḥ bif|NE khol ʾa|DHAM, ve|ʾIM ba|ṭAL|ta min hat|to|RAH, yesh le|KHA be|ṭe|LIM har|BEH ke|negh|DAKH, ve|ʾIM ʿa|MAL|ta vat|to|RAH har|BEH, yesh śa|KHAR har|BEH lit|TEN lakh. י rab|BI me|IR o|MER: he|VE me|ma|ʿET be|ʿE|seq va|ʿa|SOQ bat|to|RAH, ve|he|VE she|FAL ruaḥ bif|NE khol a|DAM, ve|IM ba|TAL|ta min hat|to|RAH, yesh le|KHA be|te|LIM har|BEH ke|neg|DAKH, ve|IM ʿa|MAL|ta vat|to|RAH har|BEH, yesh sa|KHAR har|BEH lit|TEN lakh. י ra|BI mei-IR oy|MEIR: he|VEI m'ma-EIT b'EI|sek va-a|SOYK ba|toy|ROH, ve|he|VEI sh'FAL ruach bif|NEI chol o|DOM, v'IM bo|TAL|to min ha|toy|ROH, yeish l'CHO b'tei|LIM har|BEIH k'neg|DOCH, v'IM o|MAL|to va|toy|ROH har|BEIH, yeish so|CHOR har|BEIH li|TEIN loch.

Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov said: He who fulfills one mitzvah acquires for himself one advocate, and he who commits one transgression acquires against himself one accuser. Repentance and good deeds are as a shield against retribution. Rabbi Yochanan HaSandlar said: Every assembly [whose purpose is] for the sake of Heaven will have abiding results, but יא ra|BI e|li-e|ZER ben ya-a|KOV o|MER: ha-o|SEH mitz|VAH a|CHAT, ko|NEH lo p'rak|LIT e|CHAD, ve|ha-o|VER a|ve|RAH a|CHAT, ko|NEH lo ka|te|GOR e|CHAD, t'shu|VAH u|ma-a|SIM to|VIM kit|RIS bif|NEI ha|pur|a|NUT. ra|BI yo|cha|NAN ha|san|de|LAR o|MER: kol k'ne|si|YAH she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim so|FAH le|hit|ka|YEM, ve|she-ei|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim ein יא rab|BI ʾe|li|ʿe|ZER ben ya|ʿa|QOV ʾo|MER: ha|ʿo|śEH mitz|VAH ʾa|ḥATH, qo|NEH lo pe|raq|LIṭ ʾe|ḥADH, ve|ha|ʿo|VER ʿa|ve|RAH ʾa|ḥATH, qo|NEH lo qaṭ|ṭe|GHOR ʾe|ḥADH, te|shu|VAH u|ma|ʿa|śIM ṭo|VIM kith|RIS bif|NE hap|pur|ʿa|NUTH. rab|BI yo|ḥa|NAN has|san|de|LAR ʾo|MER: kol ke|ne|siy|YAH she|HIʾ le|SHEM sha|MA|yim so|FAH le|hith|qay|YEM, ve|she|ʾe|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim ʾen יא rab|BI e|li|ʿe|ZER ben ya|ʿa|QOV o|MER: ha|ʿo|SEH mitz|VAH a|ḥAT, qo|NEH lo pe|raq|LIT e|ḥAD, ve|ha|ʿo|VER ʿa|ve|RAH a|ḥAT, qo|NEH lo qat|te|GOR e|ḥAD, te|shu|VAH u|ma|ʿa|SIM to|VIM kit|RIS bif|NE hap|pur|ʿa|NUT. rab|BI yo|ḥa|NAN has|san|de|LAR o|MER: kol ke|ne|siy|YAH she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim so|FAH le|hit|qay|YEM, ve|she|e|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim en יא ra|BI e|li-e|ZER ben ya-a|KOYV oy|MEIR: ho-oy|SEH MITZ|voh a|CHAS, koy|NEH loy p'rak|LIT e|CHOD, v'ho-oy|VEIR a|vei|ROH a|CHAS, koy|NEH loy ka|tei|GOYR e|CHOD, t'shu|VOH u|ma-a|SIM toy|VIM kis|RIS bif|NEI ha|pur|o|NUS. ra|BI yoy|cho|NON ha|san|d'LOR oy|MEIR: kol k'nei|si|YOH she|HI l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim soy|FOH l'his|ka|YEIM, v'she-ei|NOH l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim ein parent /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated.xml prev /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated/578-579-282-282-pirkei-avot-chapter-four.xml next /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated/582-583-284-284-pirkei-avot-chapter-four.xml
