אַרְבַּע מִדּוֹת בְּנוֹתְנֵי צְדְקָה: הָרוֹצֶה שֶׁיִּתֵּן וְלֹא יִתְּנוּ אֲחֵרִים, עֵינוֹ רָעָה בְּשֶׁל אֲחֵרִים. יִתְּנוּ אֲחֵרִים וְהוּא לֹא יִתֵּן, עֵינוֹ רָעָה בְשֶׁלּוֹ. יִתֵּן וְיִתְּנוּ אֲחֵרִים, חָסִיד. לֹא יִתֵּן וְלֹא יִתְּנוּ אֲחֵרִים, רָשָׁע:
Chapter 5 / Mishnah 13 : Transliterated Pirkei Avot
Arba middot benotenei tzedekah. Harotzeh sheyitten velo yittenu acherim, eino ra'ah beshel acherim. Yittenu acherim vehu lo yitten, eino ra'ah veshello. Yitten veyittenu acherim, chasid. Lo yitten velo yittenu acherim, rasha.
Chapter 5 / Mishnah 13 - Pirkei Avot translated into english
There are four types of charity givers. He who wishes to give, but that others should not give: his eye is evil to that which belongs to others; He who wishes that others should give, but that he himself should not give: his eye is evil towards that which is his own; He who desires that he himself should give, and that others should give: he is a pious man; He who desires that he himself should not give and that others too should not give: he is a wicked man.
Description / commentaries - Pirkei Avot - Mishnah 13 - Chapter 5
There are four middoth (levels) in the giving of charity [(and not "in the givers" of charity, for among them is one who does not give. Similarly, what follows (Mishnah 14) is to be read "in going to the house of study" (and not "in the goers to the house of study")]: desiring to give and that others not give — his eye is evil in what belongs to others, [knowing that charity enriches and not wishing others to become rich. Or: There are some who are more solicitous of the money of their kin than of their own; and even though they give they wish that their kin not give, so as not to lose their wealth.]; desiring that others give but not giving himself — his eye is evil in what belongs to him; desiring to give and that others give — a chasid; not giving and desiring that others not give — a wicked one.
