Hebrew
אַתָּה יָצַרְתָּ עוֹלָמְךָ מִקֶּדֶם, כִּלִּיתָ מְלַאכְתְּךָ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי
אָהַבְתָּ אוֹתָנוּ וְרָצִיתָ בָּנוּ, וְרוֹמַמְתָּנוּ מִכָּל הַלְּשׁוֹנוֹת
וְקִדַּשְׁתָּנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתֶיךָ, וְקֵרַבְתָּנוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ לַעֲבוֹדָתֶךָ
וְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ עָלֵינוּ קָרָאתָ.
וַתִּתֶּן לָנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּאַהֲבָה, שַׁבָּתוֹת לִמְנוּחָה וְרָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים לְכַפָּרָה.
וּלְפִי שֶׁחָטָאנוּ לְפָנֶיךָ אֲנַחְנוּ וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ
חָרְבָה עִירֵנוּ וְשָׁמֵם בֵּית מִקְדָּשֵׁנוּ, וְגָלָה יְקָרֵנוּ, וְנִטַּל כָּבוֹד מִבֵּית חַיֵּינוּ
וְאֵין אֲנַחְנוּ יְכוֹלִים לַעֲשׂוֹת חוֹבוֹתֵינוּ בְּבֵית בְּחִירָתֶךָ
בַּבַּיִת הַגָּדוֹל וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ שֶׁנִּקְרָא שִׁמְךָ עָלָיו, מִפְּנֵי הַיָּד שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּלְּחָה בְּמִקְדָּשֶׁךָ.

Atah yatzarta olamcha mikedem, kilita melachtecha bayom hashevi'i
Ahavta otanu veratzita banu, veromamtanu mikol halashonot
Vekidashtanu bemitzvotecha, vekeravtanu malkeinu la'avodatecha
veshimcha hagadol vehakadosh aleinu karata.
Vatiten lanu Adonai Eloheinu be'ahavah, Shabbatot limenuchah verashei chodashim lechaparah.
Ulefi shechatanu lefanecha anachnu va'avoteinu
charvah ireinu veshamem beit mikdasheinu, vegalah yekareinu, venital kavod mibeit chayeinu
Ve'ein anachnu yecholim la'asot chovoteinu beveit bechiratecha
babayit hagadol vehakadosh shenikra shimcha alav, mipnei hayad shenishtalechah bemikdashecha.

Long ago You formed Your world, completing Your work on the seventh day. You loved us. You favored us, raising us above all languages. You made us holy through Your commandments, brought us near, O our King, to Your service, and called us by Your great and holy name. You also gave us in love, LORD our God, Sabbaths for rest and New Moons for atonement. But because we and our ancestors sinned against You, our city was laid waste, our Sanctuary made desolate, our splendor exiled, and the glory gone from our House of life. We can no longer fulfill our obligations in Your chosen House, the great and holy Temple called by Your name, because of the hand that was stretched out against Your Sanctuary.
