It is not Yiddish, it is ancient Hebrew. The text is Genesis 3:1, and it translates into English as either "the snake was more clever than everyone," or alternatively, "the snake was more naked than everyone."

In case you do not recognize the gif, it is from the excellent creation story sequence in the 2014 motion picture Noah.
