Segment 1א׳

היכל נוגה נצּ"ח הֵיכָלָא תְּלִיתָאָה. הֵיכָלָא דָּא, הֵיכָלָא דְּקַיְּימָא בִּנְהִירוּ עִלָּאָה, יַתִיר עַל כָּל אִלֵּין קַדְמָאֵי. בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא קַיְימִין אַרְבַּע פִּתְחִין, חַד לִסְטַר דָּרוֹם, וְחַד לִסְטַר מִזְרָח, וְחַד לִסְטַר צָפוֹן, וְחַד לִסְטַר מַעֲרָב. בְּכָל פִּתְחָא וּפִתְחָא אִית מְמָנָא חֲדָא, דְּקַיְּימָא מְמָנָא עַל כָּל פִּתְחָא וּפִתְחָא.

The Palace of Nogah (brightness) — netzach (victory). The third palace. This palace is the palace that stands in a supernal light, more than all these earlier ones. In this palace stand four doors: one to the south side, and one to the east side, and one to the north side, and one to the west side. At every single door there is one chieftain, who stands appointed over each and every door.

Segment 2ב׳

פִּתְחָא קַדְמָאָה, דָּא פִּתְחָא דְּקַיְּימָא בֵּיהּ חַד מְמָנָא, מַלְכִּיאֵ"ל שְׁמֵיהּ. וְאִיהוּ שַׁלִּיטָא עַל כָּל אִינּוּן פִּתְקִין, דְּנַפְקֵי מִבֵּי דִּינָא דְּמַלְכָּא, לְאִתְדְּנָא עָלְמָא. (בההוא פתקא) בְּגִין דְּהַאי אִיהוּ מְמָנָא לְאַשְׁגָחָא בְּהוּ בְּאִינּוּן פִּתְקִין, וּתְרֵין סוֹפְרִין תְּחוֹת יְדֵיהּ, חַד מִימִינָא וְחַד מִשְּׂמָאלָא.

The first door: this is the door at which one chieftain stands, Malkiel is his name. And he rules over all those writs that go forth from the King’s court, for the world to be judged (a variant reads: in that writ). Because he is the one appointed to look into those writs; and two scribes are beneath his hand, one on the right and one on the left.

Segment 3ג׳

לְהַאי, אִתְיְיהִיבוּ תִּקּוּנֵי פִּתְקִין לְאַתְקְנָא, עַד לָא יִפְקוּן מֵהַאי תַּרְעָא לְבַר, וְיִתְמְסָרוּ בִּידָא דְּהַהוּא מְמָנָא, דִּי בְּהֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה. דְּהָא מִזִּמְנָא דְּאִתְמְסָרוּ בִּידָא דְּהַהוּא מְמָנָא דִּבְהֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה, הָא נַפְקֵי מִתַמָּן, וְלֵית רְשׁוּ לְאָתָבָא לוֹן.

To him were given the orderings of the writs, to set them in order before they go forth from this gate to the outside and are delivered into the hand of that chieftain who is in the first palace. For from the moment that they are delivered into the hand of that chieftain who is in the first palace, they have gone forth from there, and there is no authority to bring them back.

Segment 4ד׳

דְּהָא מִיַּד אִזְדָמַן מְמָנָא דְּסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא מְסַאֲבָא, מָארֵיהּ דְּדִינָא קַשְׁיָא תַּקִּיפָא, דְּלָא מְרַחֵם, וְסַנְגַדִיאֵ"ל (ס"א וסהדיאל) שְׁמֵיהּ, וְאִיהוּ מְמָנָא עַל תַּרְעָא דְּהֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה (ס"א גריס אחרא, ולא גריס קדמאה) דִּי בְּסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, דְּאִיהוּ גֵּיהִנָּם, וְכַמָּה אִינּוּן גַּרְדִּינִי נִימוּסִין מְמָנָן לְשַׁטְיָא בְּעָלְמָא, וּזְמִינִין לְמֶעְבַּד דִּינָא.

For at once there is made ready a chieftain of the other side, the unclean one, a master of harsh and mighty judgement, who has no mercy, and Sangadiel (a variant reads: Sahadiel) is his name. And he is appointed over the gate of the first palace (a variant reads: it reads ‘another’, and does not read ‘first’) that is on the other side, which is Gehinnom; and how many are the emissaries of judgement appointed to rove about in the world, and ready to execute judgement.

Segment 5ה׳

וּבְגִין כַּךְ, קַיְּימָא הַהוּא מְמָנָא לְעַיְינָא בְּפִתְקִין, וְאִינּוּן תְּרֵין סוֹפְרִין דְּקַיְימֵי תְּחוֹת מְמָנָא דָּא, שַׁמָּשִׁיאֵ"ל וְקָמוּאֵ"ל, אִלֵּין סוֹפְרִין לְאַתְקְנָא פִּתְקִין, וְהַהוּא מְמָנָא עָלַיְיהוּ דְּאִיהוּ מַלְכִּיאֵ"ל. בְּגִין דִּבְאִינּוּן הֵיכָלִין דִּי בִּסְטַר אַחֲרָא מְסַאֲבָא, אִתְפְּקִידוּ מְמָנָן יְדִיעָאן, בְּהִפּוּכָא מֵאִלֵּין מְמָנָן דִּי בְּהֵיכָלִין אִלֵּין, וְכָל אִינּוּן רוּחִין וְכָל אִינּוּן מְמָנָן, דְּתַמָּן, כֻּלְּהוּ לְאַבְאָשָׁא.

And therefore that chieftain stands to examine the writs; and those two scribes who stand beneath this chieftain are Shamshiel and Kamuel. These are the scribes who set the writs in order, and that chieftain is over them, who is Malkiel. For in those palaces that are on the other, unclean side there are appointed known chieftains, the reverse of these chieftains that are in these palaces; and all those spirits and all those chieftains that are there are all for evil.
