Segment 1א׳

בְּדִיקְנָא דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא, תַּלְיָא כָּל יְקִּירוּ דְּכֹלָּא. מַזָּלָא דְּכֹלָּא אִקְרֵי. מֵהַאי דִּיקְנָא, מַזָּלָא יַקִּירוּתָא (נ"א מהאי מזלא יקירא) (ממזלא יקירא) דְּכָל יַקִּירִין, מַזָּלֵי עִלָּאֵי וְתַתָּאֵי. כֻּלְּהוּ מַשְׁגִּיחִין לְהַהוּא מַזָּלָא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָיא חַיֵּי דְּכֹלָּא, מְזוֹנֵי דְּכֹלָּא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָין שְׁמַיָא וְאַרְעָא. גִּשְׁמִין דְּרַעֲוָא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא, אַשְׁגָּחוּתָא דְּכֹלָּא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָין כָּל חַיָּילִין עִלָּאִין וְתַתָּאִין.

On the beard of the Holy Ancient One hangs all the preciousness of all. It is called the mazzal (fortune) of all. From this beard is the mazzal, the preciousness (a variant reads: from this precious mazzal) (a variant reads: from the precious mazzal) of all the precious ones; the mazzalot (stars) above and below all watch over that mazzal. On this mazzal hang the life of all and the food of all. On this mazzal hang heaven and earth, and rains of favour. On this mazzal is the providence of all. On this mazzal hang all the hosts above and below.

Segment 2ב׳

תְּלַת עֲשַׂר נְבִיעִין, דְּמִשְׁחָא דִּרְבוּתָא טָבָא, תַּלְיָין בְּדִיקְנָא דְּמַזָּלָא יַקִּירָא דָּא. וְכֻלְּהוּ נָפְקִין לִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין. לָא תֵּימָא כֻּלְּהוּ, אֶלָּא תִּשְׁעָה מִנַּיְיהוּ, מִשְׁתַּכְּחָן בִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין, לְאַכְפְּיָיא דִּינִין.

Thirteen springs of the good oil of anointing hang in the beard of this precious mazzal, and all of them go forth to the Small of Countenance. Do not say all of them, but nine of them are found in the Small of Countenance, to subdue judgements.

Segment 3ג׳

(וכד) הַאי מַזָּלָא, תַּלְיָיא בְּשִׁקּוּלָא עַד טַבּוּרָא. כָּל קִדּוּשֵׁי קִדּוּשִׁין דִּקְדוּשָּׁא בֵּיהּ תַּלְיָין. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא, פָּשִׁיט פְּשִׁיטוּתָא דְּקוּטְרָא עִלָּאָה. הַהוּא רֵישָׁא דְּכָל רֵישִׁין, דְּלָא אִתְיְדַע, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע, וְלָא יַדְעִין עִלָּאִין וְתַתָּאִין. בְּגִין כַּךְ כֹּלָּא בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָיא.

(a variant adds: and when) This mazzal hangs in balance down to the navel. All the holies of holies of holiness hang on it. By this mazzal the spreading of the supernal knot spreads out: that head of all heads, which is not known and is not recognised, and neither the upper nor the lower know it. Therefore all hangs on this mazzal.

Segment 4ד׳

בְּדִיקְנָא דָּא, ג' רֵישִׁין דַּאֲמֵינָא, מִתְפַּשְּׁטָן. וְכֻלְּהוּ מִתְחַבְּרָן בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא, וּמִשְׁתַּכְחִין בֵּיהּ. וּבְגִין כַּךְ, כָּל יְקִירוּ דְּיַקִירוּתָא, בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָיא. כָּל אִלֵּין אַתְוָון דְּתַלְיָין בְּהַאי עַתִּיקָא, כּוּלְהוּ תַּלְיָין בְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא, וּמִתְחַבְּרָן בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא, וְתַלְיָין בֵּיהּ, לְקַיְּימָא אַתְוָון אַחֲרָנִין. דְּאִלְמָלֵי לָא סְלִיק אִלֵּין אַתְוָון בְּעַתִּיקָא, לָא קַיְימִין אִלֵּין אַחֲרָנִין. וּבְגִין כַּךְ אָמַר מֹשֶׁה כַּד אִצְטְרִיךְ, יְיָ' יְיָ', תְּרֵי זִימְנָא (זימני), וּפָסִיק טַעֲמָא בְּגַוַּויְיהוּ. דְּהָא בְּמַזָּלָא תַּלְיָיא כֹּלָּא. מֵהַאי מַזָּלָא, מִתְכַּסְּפֵי עִלָּאֵי וְתַתָּאֵי, וּמִתְכַּפְיָין קַמֵּיהּ. זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵיהּ מַאן דְּזָכֵי לְהַאי.

In this beard the three heads of which I have spoken spread out, and all of them are joined in this mazzal and are found in it. And therefore all the preciousness of preciousness hangs on this mazzal. All those letters that hang in this Ancient One all hang in this beard, and are joined in this mazzal, and hang on it, to sustain other letters. For were these letters not raised up in the Ancient One, those others would not endure. And therefore Moses said, when it was needed, “the Lord, the Lord”, twice, and the accent divides between them; for all hangs on the mazzal. Before this mazzal the upper and the lower are abashed, and bow down before it. Happy is the portion of him who is worthy of this!
