Elisha ben Avuya said: He who studies Torah as a child, to what can he be compared? To ink written on fresh paper; and he who studies Torah as an old man, to what can he be compared? To ink written on paper that has been erased. Rabbi Yosay bar Yehudah of Kfar HaBavli said: He who learns Torah from the young, to what can he be compared? To one who eats unripe grapes or drinks wine from his vat; while he who learns Torah from the old, to what can he be compared? To one who eats ripe grapes or drinks aged wine. Rabbi Meir said: Do not look at the vessel, but rather at what it contains; there may be a new vessel filled with aged wine, or an old vessel in which there is not even new [wine]. כ e|li|SHA ben a|vu|YAH o|MER, ha|lo|MED to|RAH YE|led le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO k'tu|VAH al ne|YAR cha|DASH, ve|ha|lo|MED to|RAH za|KEN le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO k'tu|VAH al ne|YAR ma|CHUK. ra|BI yo|SEI bar ye|hu|DAH ish k'FAR ha|bav|LI o|MER, ha|lo|MED to|RAH min hak|ta|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le-o|CHEL a|na|VIM ke|HOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN mi|gi|TO, ve|ha|lo|MED to|RAH min haz|ke|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le-o|CHEL a|na|VIM b'shu|LOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. ra|BI me-IR o|MER: al tis|ta|KEL ba|kan|KAN, e|LA ba|MEH she|YESH bo, yesh kan|KAN cha|DASH ma|LEI ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she-a|fi|LU cha|DASH ein bo. כ ʾe|li|SHAʿ ben ʾa|vu|YAH ʾo|MER, hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH YE|ledh le|MAH huʾ dho|MEH: lidh|YO ke|thu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ḥa|DHASH, ve|hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH za|QEN le|MAH huʾ dho|MEH: lidh|YO ke|thu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ma|ḥUQ. rab|BI yo|SE bar ye|hu|DHAH ʾish ke|FAR hab|bav|LI ʾo|MER, hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH min haq|qe|ṭan|NIM, le|MAH huʾ dho|MEH: le|ʾo|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM qe|HOTH ve|sho|THEH ya|YIN mig|git|TO, ve|hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH min haz|ze|qe|NIM, le|MAH huʾ dho|MEH: le|ʾo|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM be|shu|LOTH ve|sho|THEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. rab|BI me|ʾIR ʾo|MER: ʾal tis|tak|KEL baq|qan|QAN, ʾel|LAʾ bam|MEH shey|YESH bo, yesh qan|QAN ḥa|DHASH ma|LEʾ ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she|ʾa|fi|LU ḥa|DHASH ʾen bo. כ e|li|SHAʿ ben a|vu|YAH o|MER, hal|lo|MED to|RAH YE|led le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO ke|tu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ḥa|DASH, ve|hal|lo|MED to|RAH za|QEN le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO ke|tu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ma|ḥUQ. rab|BI yo|SE bar ye|hu|DAH ish ke|FAR hab|bav|LI o|MER, hal|lo|MED to|RAH min haq|qe|tan|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le|o|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM qe|HOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN mig|git|TO, ve|hal|lo|MED to|RAH min haz|ze|qe|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le|o|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM be|shu|LOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. rab|BI me|IR o|MER: al tis|tak|KEL baq|qan|QAN, el|LA bam|MEH shey|YESH bo, yesh qan|QAN ḥa|DASH ma|LE ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she|a|fi|LU ḥa|DASH en bo. כ e|li|SHO ben a|vu|YOH oy|MEIR, ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH YE|led l'MOH hu doy|MEH: lid|YOY k'su|VOH al n'YOR cho|DOSH, v'ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH zo|KEIN l'MOH hu doy|MEH: lid|YOY k'su|VOH al n'YOR mo|CHUK. ra|BI yoy|SEI bar y'hu|DOH ish k'FAR ha|bav|LI oy|MEIR, ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH min hak'|ta|NIM, l'MOH hu doy|MEH: l'oy|CHEIL a|no|VIM kei|HOYS v'shoy|SEH ya|YIN mi|gi|TOY, v'ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH min haz'|kei|NIM, l'MOH hu doy|MEH: l'oy|CHEIL a|no|VIM b'shu|LOYS v'shoy|SEH ya|YIN yo|SHON. ra|BI mei-IR oy|MEIR: al tis|ta|KEIL ba|kan|KAN, e|LO ba|MEH she|YEISH boy, yeish kan|KAN cho|DOSH mo|LEI yo|SHON, v'yo|SHON she-a|fi|LU cho|DOSH ein boy.

He used to say: Those who are born are destined to die; those who are dead are destined to live again²; and those who live [again] are destined to be judged. [Therefore, let man] know, make known, and become aware that He is God, He is the Fashioner, He is the Creator, He is the Discerner, He is the Judge, He is the Witness, He is the Plaintiff, He will hereafter sit in judgment. Blessed is He, before whom there is no iniquity, nor forgetting, nor partiality, nor bribe-taking; and know that all is according to the reckoning. And let not your evil inclination assure you that the grave will be a place of refuge for you—for against your will you were created, against your will you were born; against your will you live; against your will you die, and against your will you are destined to give an account before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. כב hu ha|YAH o|MER: ha|yi|lo|DIM la|MUT, ve|ha|me|TIM lich|YOT, ve|ha|cha|YIM la|DON, LEI|da u|le|ho|DIA u|le|hi|va|DA she|HU el, hu ha|yo|TZER, hu ha|bo|REI, hu ha|me|VIN, hu ha|da|YAN, hu ha-ED, hu ba-AL din, hu a|TID la|DON. ba|RUCH hu, she-EIN le|fa|NAV lo av|LAH, ve|LO shich|CHAH, ve|LO ma|SO fa|NIM, ve|LO ma|KACH sho|CHAD, ve|DA she|ha|KOL le|FI ha|chesh|BON. ve-AL yav|ti|cha|CHA yitz|re|CHA she|ha|she-OL beit ma|NOS lach, she-AL ka|re|cha|CHA a|TAH no|TZAR, ve-AL ka|re|cha|CHA a|TAH no|LAD, ve-AL ka|re|cha|CHA a|TAH chai, ve-AL ka|re|cha|CHA a|TAH met, ve-AL ka|re|cha|CHA a|TAH a|TID li|TEN din ve|chesh|BON lif|NEI ME|lech mal|CHEI ha|me|la|CHIM, ha|ka|DOSH ba|RUCH hu. כב huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: hay|yil|lo|DHIM la|MUTH, ve|ham|me|THIM liḥ|YOTH, ve|ha|ḥay|YIM la|DHON, LE|dhaʿ u|le|ho|DHIAʿ u|le|hiv|va|DHAʿ she|HUʾ ʾel, huʾ hay|yo|TZER, huʾ hab|bo|REʾ, huʾ ham|me|VIN, huʾ had|day|YAN, huʾ ha|ʿEDH, huʾ ba|ʿAL din, huʾ ʿa|THIDH la|DHON. ba|RUKH huʾ, she|ʾEN le|fa|NAV loʾ ʿav|LAH, ve|LOʾ shikh|ḥAH, ve|LOʾ maś|śOʾ fa|NIM, ve|LOʾ maq|QAḥ sho|ḥADH, ve|DHAʿ she|hak|KOL le|FI ha|ḥesh|BON. ve|ʾAL yav|ṭi|ḥa|KHA yitz|re|KHA she|has|she|ʾOL beth ma|NOS lakh, she|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA ʾat|TAH no|TZAR, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA ʾat|TAH no|LADH, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA ʾat|TAH ḥai, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA ʾat|TAH meth, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA ʾat|TAH ʿa|THIDH lit|TEN din ve|ḥesh|BON lif|NE ME|lekh mal|KHE ham|me|la|KHIM, haq|qa|DHOSH ba|RUKH huʾ. כב hu ha|YAH o|MER: hay|yil|lo|DIM la|MUT, ve|ham|me|TIM liḥ|YOT, ve|ha|ḥay|YIM la|DON, LE|daʿ u|le|ho|DIAʿ u|le|hiv|va|DAʿ she|HU el, hu hay|yo|TZER, hu hab|bo|RE, hu ham|me|VIN, hu had|day|YAN, hu ha|ʿED, hu ba|ʿAL din, hu ʿa|TID la|DON. ba|RUKH hu, she|EN le|fa|NAV lo ʿav|LAH, ve|LO shikh|ḥAH, ve|LO mas|SO fa|NIM, ve|LO maq|QAḥ sho|ḥAD, ve|DAʿ she|hak|KOL le|FI ha|ḥesh|BON. ve|AL yav|ti|ḥa|KHA yitz|re|KHA she|has|she|OL bet ma|NOS lakh, she|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA at|TAH no|TZAR, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA at|TAH no|LAD, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA at|TAH ḥai, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA at|TAH met, ve|ʿAL ka|re|ḥa|KHA at|TAH ʿa|TID lit|TEN din ve|ḥesh|BON lif|NE ME|lekh mal|KHE ham|me|la|KHIM, haq|qa|DOSH ba|RUKH hu. כב hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: ha|yi|loy|DIM lo|MUS, v'ha|mei|SIM lich|YOYS, v'ha|cha|YIM lo|DOYN, LEI|da ul'|hoy|DIA ul'|hi|vo|DA she|HU eil, hu ha|yoy|TZEIR, hu ha|boy|REI, hu ha|mei|VIN, hu ha|da|YON, hu ho-EID, hu ba-AL din, hu o|SID lo|DOYN. bo|RUCH hu, she-EIN l'fo|NOV loy av|LOH, v'LOY shich|CHOH, v'LOY ma|SOY fo|NIM, v'LOY ma|KACH shoy|CHAD, v'DA she|ha|KOYL l'FI ha|chesh|BOYN. v'AL yav|ti|cha|CHO yitz|r'CHO she|hash'-OYL beis mo|NOYS loch, she-AL kor'|cha|CHO a|TOH noy|TZOR, v'AL kor'|cha|CHO a|TOH noy|LOD, v'AL kor'|cha|CHO a|TOH chai, v'AL kor'|cha|CHO a|TOH meis, v'AL kor'|cha|CHO a|TOH o|SID li|TEIN din v'chesh|BOYN lif|NEI ME|lech mal|CHEI ham'|lo|CHIM, ha|ko|DOYSH bo|RUCH hu.
