לָא בִשְׁמַיָא הִיא אוֹרַיְיתָא לְמֵימָר אַלְוַוי מָן אִין הֲוָה לָן חַד כְּמשֶׁה נְבִיָא דִי יִסוֹק לִשְׁמַיָא וְיֵיתֵי יָתָהּ לָן וְיַשְׁמַע יַת פִּיקוּדַיָא וְנַעֲבֵד יַתְהוֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

The law is not in the heavens, that thou shouldst say, O that we had one like Mosheh the prophet to ascend into heaven, and bring it to us, and make us hear its commands, that we may do them!

וְלָא מֵעֵבֶר יַמָא רַבָּא הִיא אוֹרַיְיתָא לְמֵימָר אַלְוַוי הֲוָה לָן חַד כְּיוֹנָה נְבִיָא דְיֵיחוֹת לְעוֹמְקֵי יַמָא רַבָּא וְיֵיתֵי יָתָהּ לָן וְיַשְׁמַע יַת פִּקוּדַיָא וְנַעֲבֵד יַתְהוֹן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

Neither is the law beyond the great sea, that thou shouldst say, O that we had one like Jonah the prophet, who could descend into the depths of the sea, and bring it to us, and make us hear its commands, that we may do them!

אֲרוּם קָרִיב הוּא לְוַותְכוֹן פִּתְגַם לַחֲדָא בְּפוּמְכוֹן לְמֶהֱוַן הַגְיַין בָּהּ וּבִלְבָבֵיכוֹן לְמֶעֱבַד יָתָהּ:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

For the word is very nigh you, in your mouth, that you may meditate upon it, and in your hearts, that you may perform it.

חֲזוֹן הָא שַׁוִית קֳדָמֵיכוֹן יוֹמָא הָדֵין יַת אוֹרְחָא דְחַיָיא דְהִיא אוֹרְחָא טַבְתָא וְיַת אוֹרְחָא דְמִיתוּתָא דְהִיא אוֹרְחָא בִּישָׁתָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

See, behold, I have set before you this day the way of life, which is the path of the good, and the way of death, which is the path of the evil.
