קֶ֤סֶם ׀ עַֽל־שִׂפְתֵי־מֶ֑לֶךְ בְּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט לֹ֣א יִמְעַל־פִּֽיו׃
אַ כּישוף איז אױפֿן מלכס ליפּן, זײַן מױל פֿעלשט ניט בײַם משפּט.
Chagigah
"Every stay of bread"-- these are the masters of Talmud, as it is said, "Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled (Proverbs 9:5)." "And every stay of water"-- these are the masters of Aggadah, who draw the heart of a man like water through Aggadah. "The mighty man"-- this is a master of oral tradition. "And warrior"-- this is one who knows how to converse in the battle (ie. fierce discussion) of Torah. "Judge"-- this is one who judges a truthful judgement. "Prophet"-- its plain meaning. "Sorcerer"-- this is a king, as it is said, "There is charm on the lips of a king (Proverbs 16:10)." "Elder"-- this is one who is worthy to sit in judgement. "Captain of fifty"-- do not read 'Captain of fifty', but rather 'Captain of the five', [and so] this is one who knows how to converse in the five books of Torah.
