Segment 1א׳
רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה, דְּרוֹעָא שְׂמָאלָא דְּיִצְחָק. תַּמָּן דִּינֵי נְפָשׁוֹת, וַעֲקֵדָה דְּיִצְחָק תַּמָּן הֲוָה. דְּעָקִיד לֵיהּ אַבְרָהָם. קִשּׁוּרָא דִּתְפִלָּה דְּיָד, דּוּמְיָא דַּעֲקֵדָה דְּיִצְחָק. זַכָּאָה אִיהוּ בְּרָא דְּאִתְעֲקַד בַּאֲבוֹי, וְאִתְקָשַּׁר בֵּיהּ, לְמֶעְבַּד עוֹבָדוֹהִי, בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא וּבַמִּצְוָה. וְזַכָּאָה עֶבֶד דְּאִתְקְשַּׁר תְּחוֹת רַבֵּיהּ, לְמֶעְבַּד רְעוּתֵיהּ, אִיהוּ בַּאֲתָר דִּבְרָא דְּמַלְכָּא.
The New Year is the left arm of Isaac. There are the judgements of souls, and the binding of Isaac was there, when Abraham bound him. The knot of the phylactery of the hand is after the pattern of the binding of Isaac. Happy is the son who is bound with his father and knotted to him, to do his deeds, in the Torah and in the commandment. And happy is the servant who is knotted beneath his master, to do his will: he is in the place of the son of the King.
Segment 2ב׳
מְטַטְרוֹ"ן, זַכָּאָה אַנְתְּ, וְזַכָּאִין בְּנָךְ, דְּאִינּוּן קְשִׁירִין וַעֲקִידִין בִּתְפִלִּין תְּחוֹת רְשׁוּתָא דְּמָארָךְ. וּבְגִין דָּא, אַף עַל גַּב דְּאַנְתְּ עֶבֶד לְמָארָךְ, מַלְכָּא אַנְתְּ עַל כָּל מְמָנָן דִּשְׁאַר עַמִּין. מַלְכָּא עַל כָּל מַלְאָכִין. מַלְכָּא, דְּשֵׁדִים וְכָל מַשִׁרְיָיתֵיהּ, דַחֲלִין מִנָךְ. מַאן גָּרִים דָּא, בְּגִין דְּאַנְתְּ שְׁרַפְרָף לְמָארָךְ, וְאַנְתְּ מְשַׁמֵּשׁ לְמָארָךְ. שַׁדַּי דִּמְזוּזָה לְבַר, שׁוֹמֵר הַפֶתַח. יְדוָֹ"ד דְּאִיהוּ מָארָךְ, מִלְּגָאו.
Metatron, happy are you, and happy are your children, who are knotted and bound in the phylacteries beneath the authority of your Master. And therefore, though you are a servant to your Master, you are king over all the chieftains of the rest of the nations; king over all the angels; king of the demons, and all his hosts fear you. What caused this? Because you are a footstool to your Master, and you serve your Master. Shaddai of the mezuzah is outside, the keeper of the door; the Tetragrammaton, who is your Master, is within.
Segment 3ג׳
וְהָכִי אִיהוּ כַּד קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא נָחִית לְשַׁלְּטָאָה עַל עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע, דְּאִיהוּ טוֹב מְטַטְרוֹ"ן. רָע סָמָאֵל, שֵׁד, מַלְכָּא דְּשֵׁדִים. מְטַטְרוֹן מַלְאָךְ, מַלְכָּא דְּמַלְאָכִים. אֲבָל מִסִּטְרָא דְּאִילָנָא דְּחַיֵּי, שַׁדַּי אִיהוּ יְסוֹד. וּבְגִין דָּא לְמַטָּה, שְׁנַיִם, עֶבֶד וְרַבּוֹ, דְּלָאו אִינּוּן יִחוּדָא חֲדָא, וּלְמַעְלָה, אֶחָד. תִּפְאֶרֶת יְסוֹד, דְּגוּף וּבְרִית חַשְׁבֵינָן חַד, דְּאִיהִי עַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא וְצַדִּיק.
And this is how it is when the Holy One, blessed be He, descends to govern the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. That is, the good is Metatron, the evil is Samael. He is a demon, king of the demons. Metatron is an angel, king of the angels. But from the angle of the Tree of Life, The Omnipotent [Shaddai] is the Foundation [Yesod]. And because of that, they are two below, the servant and its master, which are not one unit. But above, it is one, Splendor [Tiferet] and Foundation, since the body and the circumcision are considered one. For it is the middle column and the righteous one.
