English Translation of this page:
Judas Iscariot
What shall I do? Let the noose bind my neck with a knot.
He hangs. I deemed this pact wicked for the crime.
Let it split and the gates of hell be closed unbroken,
And Judas made it most miserable for me.
I will rashly commit this vile act, those gods who protect
Spare me: And let death save me now.
I believe in the Deity, and may he help me in my destruction!

"Pact" here refers to an agreement or alliance, suggesting betrayal in a historical religious context.
