תרעג

נפטר

י ניסן לפק

כאב לבב על השבר

שלא בעתו נלקח לקבר

רך בשנים וקצר ימים

איש ישר הולך תמים

למרומים שב הרוח

באדמה פה הגיו ינוח

נפלה עטרת ראשינו

צרה גדולה מצאינו

בניו יבכו במר נפש

יגלו דמעה בכי הנפש

מ ישראל בן מ צבי נ"י

תנצבה

English translation of epitaph: 

 

(5)673

Passed away on [10] of Nisan

Heart aches in grief

[that] Took to the grave prematurely

Soft in years and young in days

The honest man [who] kept the way of justice

And his soul was ascended to heaven

Here in the ground will rest his body

Crown fell from our head

The big grief happened here

His sons will cry bitterly

Tears filled the soul

Mr. Israel son of Mr. Tzvi, his candle lights.

May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
