Segment 1א׳

וַיִּירְאוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים כִּי הוּבְאוּ בֵּית יוֹסֵף. רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר, וַוי לוֹן לִבְנֵי נָשָׁא, דְּלָא יָדְעֵי וְלָא מִסְתַּכְּלִין בְּאָרְחֵי דְאוֹרַיְיתָא. וַוי לוֹן בְּשַׁעְתָּא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יֵיתֵי לְמִתְבַּע לוֹן דִּינָא עַל עוֹבָדֵיהוֹן, וְיָקוּם גּוּפָא וְנַפְשָׁא לְמֵיהַב חוּשְׁבָּנָא מִכָּל עוֹבָדֵיהוֹן, עַד לָא יִתְפָּרְשׁוּן נַפְשָׁא מִן גּוּפָא.

AND THE MEN WERE AFRAID, BECAUSE THEY WERE BROUGHT INTO JOSEPH’S HOUSE. R. Jose said: Woe to the men who know not nor reflect on the ways of the Torah. Woe to them when God will call them to account for their actions and will raise the body and the soul to pay the penalty for all their deeds committed before the soul was separated from the body.

Segment 2ב׳

וְהַהוּא יוֹמָא, יוֹמָא דְּדִינָא אִיהוּ, יוֹמָא דְּסִפְרִין פְּתִיחָן, וּמָארֵיהוֹן דְּדִינָא קָיְימִין. בְּגִין דְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, קָיְימָא נָחָשׁ בְּקִיּוּמֵיהּ, לְנַשְׁכָא לֵיהּ. וְכָל שַׁיְיפֵי מִתְרַגְּשִׁין לְגַבֵּיהּ, וְנִשְׁמָתָא אִתְפָּרְשָׁא מִן גּוּפָא, וְאָזְלָא וְשַׁטְיָא. וְלָא יָדְעַת לְאָן אָרְחָא תְּהַךְ, וּלְאָן אֲתַר סָלְקִין לָהּ.

That will be the Day of Judgement, on which the books are open and the prosecutors standing by. At that time the serpent will be on the alert to bite the man, quivering in all his limbs to leap upon him. The soul will then become separated from the body and will depart and be carried off to it knows not where.

Segment 3ג׳

וַוי לְהַהוּא יוֹמָא, יוֹמָא דְרוּגְזָא וּנְאִיצוּ הַהוּא יוֹמָא, בְגִין כָּךְ אִבָּעֵי לֵיהּ לְבַר נָשׁ, לְאַרְגָּזָא יִצְרֵיהּ כָּל יוֹמָא, לְאַדְכָּרָא קַמֵּיהּ הַהוּא יוֹמָא, דְּיֵיקוּם בְּדִינָא דְמַלְכָּא, דְּקָא עָאלִין לֵיהּ תְּחוֹת אַרְעָא לְאִתְרַקְּבָא, וְנִשְׁמָתָא אִתְפָּרְשָׁא מִנֵּיהּ.

Alas for that day, a day of wrath and indignation! Hence it behoves man to contend daily with his evil prompter and to picture to himself the day when he will stand before the King to be judged, when they will lower him into the ground to rot there, whilst the soul will become separated from him.
