נפטר

ערב

ראש השנה תרעט

עיני עיני ירדה מים

עלי מות גבר איש

כמים מ מתתיהו

בר חיים יהודה

תנצבה

Passed  away

In the evening Rosh ha-Shana

Water flow from my eyes

On the death of a man

 Pure heart, God-fearing and flawless,

Spent nights as days in Torah studies

Our teacher Mattityahu

Son of Haim Yehuda

May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
