here is buried
a woman, distinguished
Chana, daughter of our teacher Yitzhak Tzvi Nagelberg, may his memory be blessed
died on the 26th day of Shevat
of the year [5]695 according to the small calendar
a wise heart is buried here
a generous spirit, a dear soul
she was 72 years old
the daughter of a God-fearing man
she left this world and departed to rest
her soul is bound in a blessed land
compassion flowed from the fruits of her hands
she earned her place in this world while still alive
she was modest even as a child
an only daughter left the world
her soul departed, purified seven times
may her memory be a blessing, as was her life
may her soul be bound in the bond of (eternal) life
