1. The son of the Messiah came to me, but did not find me
Stingy with the water of our hostility towards him.

2. So I said to him, "Help yourself," for I
Feared for your eye and the guide.

3. I see one eye has turned, and another
Moves its eyelid, bleary and weak.

4. And for the goat I have poured out a bucket,
With which I quenched the heat and the inflammation.

5. So the real one said, "It's a ruin, except that
We followed the water and the shaded rock."
