Segment 1א׳

אָמַר לֵיהּ, ודַּאי הָכִי הוּא. וְהָא שְׁמַעְנָא מִלָּה. אֲבָל מַאן דְּשָׁארִי בְּתַעֲנִיתָא בְּשַׁבְּתָא, עָבִיד גְּרִיעוּתָא לְשַׁבָּת, אוֹ לָא. אִי תֵּימָא דְּלָא עָבִיד גְּרִיעוּתָא, הָא סְעוּדָתֵי דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא בָּטִיל מִנֵּיהּ, וְעוֹנְשֵׁיהּ סַגִי, הָא חֶדְוָותָא דְּשַׁבָּת בָּטִיל מִנֵּיהּ.

Assuredly it is so,’ said R. Jose, ‘and so I have already heard. But tell me, if a man fasts on Sabbath, does he do anything derogatory to the Sabbath or not? How can you say he does not, seeing that he neglects the repasts of faith, and his punishment must be great, since he does away with the joy of the Sabbath.’

Segment 2ב׳

אָמַר לֵיהּ, מִלָּה דָּא שְׁמַעְנָא, דְּדָא הוּא דְּאַשְׁגְחָן עָלֵיהּ מִלְּעֵילָּא, מִכָּל בְּנֵי עָלְמָא. בְּגִין דְּהַאי יוֹמָא, חֶדְוָותָא הוּא לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא. חֶדְוָותָא דְּכָל חֶדְוָון. חֶדְוָותָא, דְּכָל מְהֵימְנוּתָא בֵּיהּ אִשְׁתְּכַח. וַאֲפִילּוּ רְשָׁעִים דְּגֵיהִנָּם נַיְיחִין בְּהַאי יוֹמָא. וְהַאי בַּר נָשׁ לֵית לֵיהּ חֶדְוָה, וְלֵית לֵיהּ נַיְיחָא, וְשַׁנְיָא דָּא מִכָּל עִלָּאִין וְתַתָּאִין. כֻּלְּהוּ שָׁאַלִין עָלֵיהּ, מַאי שַׁנְיָא דִּפְלַנְיָא הוּא בְּצַעֲרָא.

He replied: ‘I have heard that on the contrary this is he who is more remarked above than any other. For this day is one of supreme joy above and below, joy of all joys, the joy of faith, on which even sinners in Gehinnom have respite. Now when this man is seen to be without joy and without rest, different from all others above and below, they all ask, What is the cause of So-and-so being in sorrow?

Segment 3ג׳

וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא אִתְגְּלֵי בְּהַאי יוֹמָא, וְאִשְׁתְּכַח הַאי בְּצַעֲרָא, צְלוֹתֵיהּ סַלְּקָא וְקַיְּימָא קַמֵּיהּ, כְּדֵין אִתְקְרָעוּ כָּל גִּזְרֵי דִּינִין דְּאִתְגְזָרוּ עָלֵיהּ, וַאֲפִילּוּ אִסְתְכָּמוּ בְּבֵי דִּינָא דְּמַלְכָּא עָלֵיהּ לְבִישׁ, כֹּלָּא אִתְקְרַע, בְּגִין דִּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּעַתִּיקָא אִתְגַּלְיָיא, כָּל חֵירוּ וְכָל חֵידוּ אִשְׁתְּכַח, בְּגִין דְּאִתְגַּלְיָיא בְּהִלּוּלָא דְּמַלְכָּא.

And when the Ancient Holy One is revealed on this day and the prayer of this sorrowful one rises and stands before Him, then all the punishments decreed against him are cancelled, even if the Court of the King has concurred in the sentence, because when the Ancient One is revealed all freedom and all joy is present.
