Segment 1א׳
בְּהֵיכָלָא חֲמִישָׁאָה קַיָּימִין כָּל אִנּוּן מָארֵיהוֹן דִּתְיוּבְתָּא שְׁלֵימְתָּא דְּתָבוּ מֵחֲטָאֵיהוֹן וְאִתְנַחֲמוּ בְּהוּ וְנָפְקַת נִשְׁמָתַיְיהוּ בְּדַכְיוּ (וכל אנון מאריהון דתיובתא) וְכָל אִנּוּן דְּקַדִּישׁוּ שְׁמָא דְּמָרֵיהוֹן וְקַבִּילוּ עֲלַיְיהוּ מוֹתָא. וּבְתַרְעָא דְהַאי הֵיכָלָא (פתחא) קָאִים מְנַשֶּׁה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה דְּקָבִּיל לֵיהּ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בִּתְיוּבְתָּא שְׁלֵימְתָּא וְחֲתַר לֵיהּ חֲתִירָא לְקַבְּלָא לֵיהּ.
In the fifth palace stand all those penitents whose repentance was perfect, who turned from their sins and regretted them, and whose souls went forth in purity; and all those who sanctified the name of their Master and took death upon themselves. At the gate of this palace stands Manasseh king of Judah, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, received in perfect repentance, digging an opening for him in order to receive him.
Segment 2ב׳
וּלְגוֹ מֵהַאי הֵיכָלָא קַיָּימִין כָּל אִנּוּן מָארֵיהוֹן דִּתְיוּבְתָּא תַּקִּיפָא. דְּנִשְׁמַתְהוֹן נָפְקַת בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּאִתְמַרְמְרוּ עַל עוֹבָדֵיהוֹן. וְאִלֵּין מִתְעַדְּנִין בְּעִדּוּנָא עִלָּאָה בְּכָל יוֹמָא וְיוֹמָא. וּתְלַת זִמְנִין בְּיוֹמָא נְהִירוּ עָאל בְּהַהוּא הֵיכָלָא דְּמִתְעַדְּנִין בֵּיהּ כָּל חַד וְחַד כְּדְקָא חָזֵי לֵיהּ. וְכָל חַד נִכְוָה מִנְהִירוּ דְּחוּפָּה דְּחַבְרֵיהּ בֵּין לְתַתָּא בֵּין לְעֵילָא.
And within this palace stand all those penitents whose repentance was mighty, whose souls went forth at the hour when they were embittered over their deeds. These take delight in a supernal delight every single day. Three times a day a radiance enters that palace, and in it each one takes delight as befits him. And each one is scorched by the radiance of his fellow’s canopy, both below and above.
Segment 3ג׳
הַאי הֵיכָלָא קַיְימָא עַל אִנּוּן הֵיכְלֵי תַּתָּאֵי. וְאֲפִילּוּ צַדִּיקִים גְּמוּרִין לָא יָכְלִין לְאַעֲלָאָה בְּגוֹ (ההוא) הַאי הֵיכָלָא וּלְמֵיקַם בֵּיהּ. וְהַאי אִיהוּ דַרְגָּא עִלָּאָה עַל כֹּלָּא (ביה) בַּר דַּרְגָא דְּחֲסִידֵי דְּאִיהוּ דַרְגָא עִלָּאָה עַל כֹּלָּא:
This palace stands above the palaces below it, and even the perfectly righteous cannot enter within this palace and stand in it. And this is the grade above all — save for the grade of the pious, which is the grade above all.
