זהר חדש, פרשת נח א׳–ל׳Zohar Chadash, Noach 1–30

Paragraph 1א׳

וְר' חִזְקִיָּה אֲמַר, זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵיהוֹן דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְרְעֵי בְּהוּ, וִיהַב לוֹן אוֹרַיְיתָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְאַזְהַר לוֹן, וִיהַב לוֹן עֵיטָא, לְאִסְתַּמָּרָא מֵעֵילָא וְתַתָּא, בְּגִין דְּלָא יִשְׁלוֹט בְּהוּ בַּר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בִּלְחוֹדוֹי. וְאִינוּן יָדְעֵי לְדַחְיָיא מִנַּיְיהוּ כָּל מְקַטְרְגִין, וְכָל קַסְטִירִין, בְּגִין דִּיהוֹן חוּלָקָא דְּעַדְבֵיהּ וְאַחְסַנְתֵּיהּ, כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (דברים ל״ב:ט׳) כִּי חֵלֶק ה' עַמּוֹ יַעֲקֹב חֶבֶל נַחֲלָתוֹ.

And Rabbi Hezekiah said, Israel is deserving of their share, for the Holy One, blessed be He, delights in them and gives them the holy Torah, takes care of them, and provides them with food to sustain themselves above and below, so that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not dominate over them alone. And they are able to repel from themselves all accusers and all hardships, because they are the share of His glory and His wealth, as you say (Deuteronomy 32:9) "For a portion of the Lord is His people Jacob, the lot of His inheritance.”.

Paragraph 2ב׳

תָּא חֲזֵי, בְּיוֹמָא דְּרֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה, קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יָתֵיב בְּדִינָא עַל עָלְמָא, וְכָל בְּנֵי עָלְמָא עָאלִין לְחוּשְׁבְּנָא, וְלָא אִית מָאן דְּלָא עָאל בְּחוּשְׁבְּנָא. וְסִפְרִין דְּחַיִּין וּמֵתִין פְּתִיחָן בְּהַהוּא יוֹמָא.

Come and see, on the day of Rosh Hashanah, the Holy One, Blessed be He, sits in judgment over the world, and all the inhabitants of the world come for reckoning, and there is not one that doesn't come for reckoning. And the books of the living and the dead are opened on that day.

Paragraph 3ג׳

וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בְּגִין דְּאִתְרְעֵי בְּהוּ, יְהַב לוֹן עֵיטָא לְאִשְׁתֵּזָבָא מִכָּל מְקַטְרְגִין דִּלְעֵילָא, דְּאִינוּן אִתְמַנָּן בְּכָל זִמְנָא דְּדִינָא שַׁרְיָא עַל עָלְמָא. בְּהַאי יוֹמָא אִזְדַּמְּנָן יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאַתְעָרָא רַחֲמֵי עֲלַיְיהוּ. וּבַמֶּה. בַּשּׁוֹפָר.

And the Holy One, Blessed be He, due to his delight in them, gives them a time to refrain from all the accusers above, who frighten them every time the judgement is allowed on the world. On this day, the people of Israel appear to stir up compassion upon them. And how? With the shofar.
