VIDUY FOR MINHA OF EREV YOM KIPPUR

The following is said on Erev Yom Kippur (and by a bride and groom on the eve of their wedding), in the Amida before “My God, guard”:

Hebrew

אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ
תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ, וְאַל תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתֵנוּ.
שֶׁאֵין אֲנַחְנוּ עַזֵּי פָנִים וּקְשֵׁי עֹרֶף לוֹמַר לְפָנֶיךָ
יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ
צַדִּיקִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְלֹא חָטָאנוּ. אֲבָל אֲנַחְנוּ וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ חָטָאנוּ.

Sephardi

Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu
Tavo lefanecha tefilateinu, ve'al tit'alam mitchinateinu.
She'ein anachnu azei panim ukshei oref lomar lefanecha
Adonai Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu
Tzadikim anachnu velo chatanu. Aval anachnu va'avoteinu chatanu.

English

Our God and God of our fathers, let our prayer come before You, and do not hide Yourself from our plea, for we are not so arrogant or obstinate as to say before You, LORD, our God and God of our fathers, we are righteous and have not sinned, for in truth, we and our fathers have sinned.

Strike the left side of the chest with the right fist while saying each of the sins:

Hebrew

אָשַׁמְנוּ, בָּגַדְנוּ, גָּזַלְנוּ, דִּבַּרְנוּ דֹּפִי
הֶעֱוִינוּ, וְהִרְשַׁעְנוּ, זַדְנוּ, חָמַסְנוּ, טָפַלְנוּ שֶׁקֶר
יָעַצְנוּ רָע, כִּזַּבְנוּ, לַצְנוּ, מָרַדְנוּ, נִאַצְנוּ, סָרָרְנוּ
עָוִינוּ, פָּשַׁעְנוּ, צָרַרְנוּ, קִשִּׁינוּ עֹרֶף
רָשַׁעְנוּ, שִׁחַתְנוּ, תִּעַבְנוּ, תָּעִינוּ, תִּעְתָּעְנוּ.

English

We have sinned, we have acted treacherously, we have robbed, we have spoken slander. We have acted perversely, we have acted wickedly, we have acted presumptuously, we have been violent, we have framed lies. We have given bad advice, we have deceived, we have scorned, we have rebelled, we have provoked, we have turned away, we have committed iniquity, we have transgressed, we have persecuted, we have been obstinate. We have acted wickedly, we have corrupted, we have acted abominably, we have strayed, we have led others astray.

Neh. 9

Hebrew

סַרְנוּ מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ וּמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶיךָ הַטּוֹבִים, וְלֹא שָׁוָה לָנוּ.
וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל כָּל־הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ
כִּי־אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ, וַאֲנַחְנוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ.

Sephardi

Sarnu mimitzvotecha umimishpatecha hatovim, velo shavah lanu.
Ve'atah tzadik al kol-haba aleinu
Ki-emet asita, va'anachnu hirshanu.

English

We have turned away from Your commandments and good laws, to no avail, for You are just in all that has befallen us, for You have acted faithfully while we have done wickedly.

Hebrew

מַה נֹּאמַר לְפָנֶיךָ יוֹשֵׁב מָרוֹם, וּמַה נְסַפֵּר לְפָנֶיךָ שׁוֹכֵן שְׁחָקִים
הֲלֹא כָּל הַנִּסְתָּרוֹת וְהַנִּגְלוֹת אַתָּה יוֹדֵעַ.

Sephardi

Mah nomar lefanecha yoshev marom, umah nesaper lefanecha shochen shechakim
Halo kol hanistarot vehaniglot atah yode'a.

English

What can we say before You, You who dwell on high? What can we declare before You, You who abide in heaven? Do You not know all, the hidden and revealed alike?

Hebrew

אַתָּה יוֹדֵעַ רָזֵי עוֹלָם וְתַעֲלוּמוֹת סִתְרֵי כָּל חָי.
אַתָּה חוֹפֵשׂ כָּל חַדְרֵי בָטֶן וּבוֹחֵן כְּלָיוֹת וָלֵב.
אֵין דָּבָר נֶעְלָם מִמֶּךָ וְאֵין נִסְתָּר מִנֶּגֶד עֵינֶיךָ.
וּבְכֵן, יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ
שֶׁתְּכַפֶּר לָנוּ עַל כָּל חַטֹּאתֵינוּ
וְתִסְלַח לָנוּ עַל כָּל עֲוֹנוֹתֵינוּ
וְתִמְחַל לָנוּ עַל כָּל פְּשָׁעֵינוּ.

Sephardi

Atah yodea razei olam veta'alumot sitrei kol chai.
Atah chofes kol chadrei baten uvochen kelayot valeiv.
Ein davar ne'elam mimecha ve'ein nistar mineged einecha.
Uvechen, yehi ratzon milefanecha, Adonai Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu
Shetechaper lanu al kol chatoteinu
Vetislach lanu al kol avonoteinu
Vetimchal lanu al kol pesha'einu.

English

You know the mysteries of the universe, and the hidden secrets of all that lives. You search the inmost being, and test the heart and mind. Nothing is hidden from You, nor is anything concealed from Your eyes. Therefore may it be Your will, LORD our God and God of our fathers, to grant atonement for all our sins, forgive all our iniquities, and pardon all our transgressions.
