UPDATED REQUEST:
Hi! Turns out this is in 3 languages:

Hebrew, Lithuanian, and Yiddish.

This death record is for Ethel/Estera Rogalsky, my G.G. grandmother. Original is in LVIA: https://eais.archyvai.lt/repo-ext/view/284004664

Since there are some date and name discrepancies between the three language, I'm seeking help translating the full text, all fields, from all three languages. If you can help with any of that, it would be so appreciated.

(Also, the gravestone that seems likely to be hers was also uploaded to ViewMate recently, with a Hebrew date corresponding to Feb 2 1922. I visited it last week, and it was so exciting to find and uncover the date!)

Thanks!
Rahel

Etel Rogolski, widow, a worker, daughter of Rochel and Hirsh Kovenski (thus according to the Yiddish and Lithuanian, but the Hebrew has Karnski) died from a severe illness in Seirijai on 1 Feb 1922, 3 Shvat 5682 and buried there on 2 Feb, 4 Shvat.

The Hebrew and Yiddish clearly state February, unlike the Lithuanian, which has January.

Thanks for the initial response!

If someone were able to translate it line-by-line, so I can see the differences between the Lithuanian, Hebrew, and Yiddish, I'd appreciate that. It will help me parse out the inconsistencies I'm seeing in different places related to her death date. Thank you!

(Maybe I should submit this with a request for a different language translation, since it's in three languages? Hmmm...)
