Hebrew

כָּל מְקַדֵּשׁ שְׁבִיעִי כָּרָאוּי לוֹ
כָּל שׁוֹמֵר שַׁבָּת כַּדָּת, מֵחַלְּלוֹ
שְׂכָרוֹ הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַל פִּי פָעֳלוֹ
אִישׁ עַל־מַחֲנֵהוּ וְאִישׁ עַל־דִּגְלוֹ:

Sephardi

Kol mekadesh shevi'i karaui lo
Kol shomer Shabbat kadat, mechallelo
Secharo harbeh me'od al pi fa'olo
Ish al-machanehu ve'ish al-diglo:

English

All who fittingly sanctify the seventh day, All who protect the Sabbath properly from desecration, Will have great reward in accord with their deed. “Each in his own camp, each under his own banner.”

I Kings 8

Hebrew

אוֹהֲבֵי יְהֹוָה הַמְחַכִּים לְבִנְיַן אֲרִיאֵל
בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת שִׂישׂוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ כִּמְקַבְּלֵי מַתַּן נַחֲלִיאֵל
גַּם שְׂאוּ יְדֵיכֶם קֹדֶשׁ וְאִמְרוּ לָאֵל
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַן מְנוּחָה לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל:

Sephardi

Ohavei Adonai hamechakim levin'yan Ariel
Beyom haShabbat sisu vesimchu kimekablei matan Nachaliel
Gam se'u yedeichem kodesh ve'imru la'El
Baruch Adonai asher natan menuchah le'amo Yisrael:

English

Lovers of the LORD, who await the building of the Temple, Be glad and joyful on the Sabbath as if receiving the gift of God’s inheritance, Raise your hands in holiness and say to God: “Blessed is the LORD who has given rest to His people Israel.”

Ps. 118

Hebrew

דּוֹרְשֵׁי יְהֹוָה זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אֹהֲבוֹ
הַמְאַחֲרִים לָצֵאת מִן הַשַּׁבָּת וּמְמַהֲרִים לָבוֹא
וּשְׂמֵחִים לְשָׁמְרוֹ וּלְעָרֵב עֵרוּבוֹ
זֶה־הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה, נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בוֹ:

Sephardi

Dorshei Adonai zera Avraham ohavo
Hame'acharim latzet min haShabbat umemaharim lavo
Usemechim leshamro ule'arev eruvo
Zeh-hayom asah Adonai, nagilah venismechah vo:

English

Seekers of the LORD, offspring of His beloved Abraham, Who are slow to leave the Sabbath but hasten to enter it, Who rejoice to keep it and make its Eiruv – “This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Gen. 2

Hebrew

זִכְרוּ תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה בְּמִצְוַת שַׁבָּת גְּרוּסָה
חֲרוּתָה לְיוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי, כְּכַלָּה בֵּין רֵעוֹתֶיהָ מְשֻׁבָּצָה
טְהוֹרִים יִירָשׁוּהָ, וִיקַדְּשׁוּהָ בְּמַאֲמַר כָּל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה
וַיְכַל אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה:

Sephardi

Zichru Torat Moshe bemitzvat Shabbat gerusah
Charutah leyom hashvi'i, kechallah bein re'otehah meshubbatzah
Tehorim yirashuhah, vikadshuhah bema'amar kol asher asah
Vayechal Elohim bayom hashvi'i melachto asher asah:

English

Remember Moses’ Torah, from which the laws of Sabbath are learned, Engraved is the seventh day like a bedecked bride between her companions, The pure inherit it and sanctify it with the words: “All that He had made… With the seventh day God completed the work He had done.”

Ex. 12

Hebrew

יוֹם קָדוֹשׁ הוּא, מִבּוֹאוֹ וְעַד צֵאתוֹ
כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב יְכַבְּדוּהוּ, כִּדְבַר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְדָתוֹ
לָנוּחַ בּוֹ וְלִשְׂמֹחַ בְּתַעֲנוּג אָכוֹל וְשָׁתוֹ
כָּל־עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל יַעֲשׂוּ אֹתוֹ:

Sephardi

Yom kadosh hu, mibo'o ve'ad tzeto

It is a sacred day from beginning to end, All Jacob’s offspring will honor it as the King’s word and decree, Resting on it and rejoicing with delights of food and drink. “All the congregation of Israel will observe it.”

מְשֹׁךְ חַסְדְּךָ לְיוֹדְעֶיךָ, אֵל קַנּוֹא וְנוֹקֵם
נוֹטְרֵי יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי זָכוֹר וְשָׁמוֹר לְהָקֵם
שְׂמֵחִים בְּבִנְיַן שָׁלֵם, בְּאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ תַּבְהִיקֵם
יִרְוְיוּן מִדֶּשֶׁן בֵּיתֶךָ, וְנַחַל עֲדָנֶיךָ תַשְׁקֵם:

Sephardi

Meshoch chasdecha leyode'echa, Eil kano venokem
Notrei yom hashvi'i zachor veshamor lehakem
Semechim bevin'yan shalem, be'or panecha tavhikem
Yirveyun mideshen betecha, venachal adanecha tashkem:

English

Extend Your loving-kindness to those who know You, zealous and retributive God, Those who keep the seventh day, fulfilling “Remember” and “Observe,” Grant them the joy of Jerusalem rebuilt, make them shine with the light of Your face. “Fill them with the rich plenty of Your House, give them drink from Your river of delights.”

I Sam. 14

Hebrew

עֲזֹר לַשּׁוֹבְתִים בַּשְּׁבִיעִי, בַּחֲרִישׁ וּבַקָּצִיר עוֹלָמִים
פּוֹסְעִים בּוֹ פְּסִיעָה קְטַנָּה, סוֹעֲדִים בּוֹ, לְבָרֵךְ שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים
צִדְקָתָם תַּצְהִיר כְּאוֹר שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים
יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, הָבָה תָמִים:

Adonai Elohei Yisrael, havah tamim:

English

Help those who, on the seventh day, rest from plow and harvest, Who walk slowly, and eat three meals to bless You. May their righteousness shine like the light of the seven days, LORD God of Israel, grant completion.
