זה ספרא דאדם קדמאה
שנתן לו רזיאל המלאך
וזה השער לה׳ צדיקים יבאו בו לעלות במסילה •
העולה • בית אל • לדבק בכבוד אל • ולכל בית
ישראל • היא סגולה • מועלת • לראות בני בנים •
חכמים ונבונים • ולהצלחה ולברכה • ולכבות אש
המערכה • שלא ישלוט בביתו • וכל שד ופגע רע
לא יגור במגורתו • למי שהספר הקדוש הנכבד
והנורא אתו • גנוז וטמון אצל כספו וזהבו באוצרתו •
ובחליתו • ובעת [unclear: צרתו] • יהיה לו תשועה מהרה
וזה יעידו ויגידו כל בני תורה :
נדפס
בבית הבחור הנחמד והיקר כמ״ר משה בן הישיש
הנכבד כבוד אברהם מינדים
קוטיניו ז״ל :
באמשטרדם
נשלם בשנת זה ספר תולדות
אדם לפ״ק :

[Aram.] This is the Book of Adam the First (Sifra de-Adam Qadma'ah),
which Raziel the angel (רזיאל המלאך, Razi'el ha-Mal'akh) gave to him.
And this is "the gate to the LORD (ה׳); the righteous shall enter by it" [Ps. 118:20], to go up on the highway
that goes up • to Beth-El • to cleave to the glory of God (אל, El) • And for all the house
of Israel • it is a segullah [protective virtue] • effective • for seeing children's children •
wise and understanding • and for success and for blessing • and for extinguishing the fire
of the [burning] pile • that it shall not rule over his house • and that no demon (שד) or evil mishap
shall dwell in his dwelling • for whoever has this holy, honoured
and awesome book with him • hidden and stored beside his silver and his gold in his treasury •
and in his sickness • and in the time of his [unclear: distress] • it shall be to him a speedy salvation.
And to this all the sons of Torah will testify and declare.
Printed
in the house of the pleasant and dear young man, our honoured teacher Rabbi (כמ״ר) Moses, son of the aged,
the honoured, honourable Abraham Mendes
Coutinho, of blessed memory.
