Epitaph English:

here is buried
a man who was pure and honest
he strove for mercy and righteousness
Yaakov Leib, son of
Binyamin, may peace be upon him, Schorr
whose soul ascended
on the 24th day of Kislev 5697
... they will mourn him ...
deeds, the weight on the scales of justice in faith
his property and his interests, all his days in perfection and honesty
in constant mercy, not for wealth and happiness
his bread was produced for the hungry and in full handfuls
fear and awe before the Lord of earth and heaven
elderly [at passing] and enjoyed the work of his hands
may his soul be bound in the bond of (eternal) life
