ZEMIROT FOR SHABBAT DAY

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי יוֹם יוֹם, יַעֲמָס לָנוּ יֶשַׁע וּפְדִיוֹם, וּבִשְׁמוֹ נָגִיל כָּל הַיּוֹם, וּבִישׁוּעָתוֹ נָרִים
רֹאשׁ עֶלְיוֹן. כִּי הוּא מָעוֹז לַדָּל וּמַחֲסֶה לָאֶבְיוֹן:

Sephardi

Baruch Adonai yom yom, ya'amas lanu yesha ufedyom, uvishmo nagil kol hayom, uvishu'ato narim
Rosh elyon. Ki hu ma'oz ladal umachaseh la'evyon:

English

Blessed be the LORD who, day by day, carries our burden with salvation and redemption. We will rejoice in His name all day long, and raise our head high in His salvation. For He is a stronghold for the poor and a refuge for the needy.

Ps. 130

Hebrew

שִׁבְטֵי יָהּ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עֵדוּת, בְּצָרָתָם לוֹ צַר בְּסִבְלוֹת וּבְעַבְדוּת, בְּלִבְנַת הַסַּפִּיר הֶרְאָם עֹז
יְדִידוּת, וְנִגְלָה לְהַעֲלוֹתָם מֵעֹמֶק בּוֹר וְדוּת. כִּי־עִם־יְהֹוָה הַחֶסֶד, וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ פְדוּת:

Sephardi

Shivtei Yah leYisrael edut, betzaratam lo tzar besivlot uva'avdut, belivnat hasapir her'am oz
Yedidut, veniglah leha'alotam me'omek bor vedut. Ki-im-Adonai hachesed, veharbeh imo fedut:

English

The LORD’s tribes are Israel’s testimony: He was distressed in their distress, in their suffering and slavery. Through a pavement of sapphire He showed them the strength of His love, He revealed Himself, lifting them from the depths of the pit. For with the LORD is loving-kindness; He abounds in redemption.

Hebrew

מַה יָקָר חַסְדּוֹ בְּצִלּוֹ לוֹנְנָמוֹ, בְּגָלוֹת בָּבֶל שָׁלַח לְמַעֲנֵמוֹ, לְהוֹרִיד בְּרִיחִים נִמְנָה
בֵּינֵימוֹ, וַיִּתְּנֵם לְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי שׁוֹבֵימוֹ. כִּי לֹא יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה אֶת עַמּוֹ, בַּעֲבוּר הַגָּדוֹל שְׁמוֹ:

Sephardi

Mah yakar chasdo betzilo lonenamo, begalut Bavel shalach lema'anemo, lehorid berichim nimnah
Beineimo, vayitnem lerachamim lifnei shoveimo. Ki lo yitosh Adonai et amo, ba'avur hagadol shemo:

English

How precious is His loving-kindness; He shelters them under His shade. For their sake He went with them into exile in Babylon. When they went down in ships, He was counted among them. He ensured that they were treated mercifully by those who took them captive. For the LORD will not forsake His people, for the sake of His great name.

Lam. 3

Hebrew

עֵילָם שָׂת כִּסְאוֹ לְהַצִּיל יְדִידָיו, לְהַאֲבִיד מִשָּׁם מְעוֹנֵי מוֹרְדָיו, מֵעֲבוֹר בַּשֶּׁלַח פָּדָה
אֶת עֲבָדָיו, קֶרֶן לְעַמּוֹ הֵרִים, תְּהִלָּה לְכָל חֲסִידָיו. כִּי אִם־הוֹגָה, וְרִחַם כְּרֹב חֲסָדָיו:

Sephardi

Eilam sat kis'o lehatzil yedidav, leha'avid misham me'onei mordav, me'avor bashelach padah
Et avadav, keren le'amo heirim, tehilah lechol chasidav. Ki im-hogah, vericham kerov chasadav:

English

In Eilam He placed His throne, to rescue His beloved, to remove from them the stronghold of His rebels. He redeemed His servants from passing under the sword. He raised the pride of His people, for the glory of all His devoted ones. For though He afflicts, He also shows compassion and loving-kindness.

Ibid.

Hebrew

וּצְפִיר הָעִזִּים הִגְדִּיל עֲצוּמָיו, וְגַם חֲזוּת אַרְבַּע עָלוּ לִמְרוֹמָיו, וּבְלִבָּם דִּמּוּ לְהַשְׁחִית אֶת
רַחוּמָיו, עַל יְדֵי כֹהֲנָיו מִגֵּר מִתְקוֹמְמָיו. חַסְדֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי לֹא־תָמְנוּ, כִּי לֹא כָלוּ רַחֲמָיו:

Sephardi

Utzefir ha'izim higdil atzumav, vegam chazut arba alu limromav, uvelibam dimu lehashchit et
Rachumav, al yedei chohanav miger mitkomemav. Chasdei Adonai ki lo-tamnu, ki lo chalu rachamav:

English

When the he-goat [Greece] extended its power, and the vision of the four ascended to the heights, And in their hearts they intended to destroy those He loved, through His priests He laid low those who rose against Him: The LORD’s kindness has not ended nor His compassion ceased.

Ibid.

Hebrew

נִסְגַּרְתִּי לֶאֱדוֹם בְּיַד רֵעַי מְדָנַי, שֶׁבְּכָל יוֹם מְמַלְּאִים כְּרֵסָם מֵעֲדָנַי, עֶזְרָתוֹ עִמִּי לִסְמֹךְ
אֶת אֲדָנַי, וְלֹא נְטַשְׁתַּנִי כָּל יְמֵי עֶדְנִי. כִּי לֹא יִזְנַח לְעוֹלָם אֲדֹנָי:

Sephardi

Nisgarti le'Edom beyad rei'ai medanai, shebechol yom memal'im kresam me'adanai, ezrato imi lismoch
Et adanai, velo netashtani kol yemei edni. Ki lo yiznach le'olam Adonai:

English

I was handed over to Edom [Rome] by my quarrelsome friends, who daily sated their appetite with my treasures. His help was with me, supporting my foundations, He will not forsake me all the days of my age. For the LORD does not reject forever.

Is. 27

Hebrew

בְּבוֹאוֹ מֵאֱדוֹם חֲמוּץ בְּגָדִים, זֶבַח לוֹ בְּבָצְרָה וְטֶבַח לוֹ בַּבּוֹגְדִים, וְיֵז נִצְחָם מַלְבּוּשָׁיו
לְהַאְדִּים, בְּכֹחוֹ הַגָּדוֹל יְבַצֵּר רוּחַ נְגִידִים. הָגָה בְּרוּחוֹ הַקָּשָׁה בְּיוֹם קָדִים:

Sephardi

Bevo'o me'Edom chamutz begadim, zevach lo beBotzrah vetevach lo babogdim, veyez nitzcham malbushav
Leha'adim, bechocho hagadol yevatzer ruach negidim. Hagah berucho hakashah beyom kadim:

English

When He comes from Edom with garments stained crimson, there will be slaughter in Botzra, and an execution of traitors, their blood will turn His garments red, in His great strength He will bring the leaders low. With His mighty blast like a day of the east wind.

Ps. 31

Hebrew

רְאוֹתוֹ כִּי בֶן אֱדוֹמִי הָעוֹצֵר, יַחְשׁוֹב לוֹ בָּצְרָה תִּקְלֹט כְּבֶצֶר, וּמַלְאָךְ כְּאָדָם בְּתוֹכָהּ
יִנָּצֵר, וּמֵזִיד כְּשׁוֹגֵג בְּמִקְלָט יֵעָצֵר. אֶהֱבוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה כָּל־חֲסִידָיו, אֱמוּנִים נֹצֵר:

Sephardi

Re'oto ki ben Edomi ha'otzer, yachshov lo Botzrah tiklot keVetzar, umalach ke'adam betochah
Yinatzer, umezid keshogeg bemiklat ye'atzer. Ehavu et-Adonai kol-chasidav, emunim notzer:

English

When the oppressor from Edom sees how it will be, He will think Botzra to be a refuge like Betzer, giving protection to angels and men, willful and accidental sinners alike. Love the LORD, all His devoted ones: all His faithful ones He will guard.

Hebrew

יְצַוֶּה צוּר חַסְדּוֹ קְהִלּוֹתָיו לְקַבֵּץ, מֵאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת עֵדָיו לְהִקָּבֵץ, וּבְהַר מָרוֹם הָרִים
אוֹתָנוּ לְהַרְבִּיץ, וְאִתָּנוּ יָשׁוּב נִדָּחִים קוֹבֵץ. יָשִׁיב לֹא נֶאֱמַר, כִּי אִם וְשָׁב וְקִבֵּץ.

Sephardi

Yetzaveh tzur chasdo kehilotav lekabetz, me'arba ruchot edav lehikabetz, uvehar marom harim
Otanu leharbitz, ve'itanu yashuv nidachim kovetz. Yashiv lo ne'emar, ki im veshav vekibetz.

English

The Rock in His kindness will command His communities to gather, coming together from the four winds, He will settle them upon the high mountains, He will return with us, gathering the dispersed, for it does not say, “He will bring back” but “He will return” and gather.

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר טוֹב גְּמָלָנוּ, כְּרַחֲמָיו וּכְרֹב חֲסָדָיו הִגְדִּיל לָנוּ, אֵלֶּה וְכָאֵלֶּה
יוֹסֵף עִמָּנוּ, לְהַגְדִּיל שְׁמוֹ הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא, שֶׁנִּקְרָא עָלֵינוּ.

Sephardi

Baruch hu Eloheinu asher tov gemalanu, kerachamav ucherov chasadav higdil lanu, eileh vecha'eleh
Yosef imanu, lehagdil shemo hagadol hagibor vehanora, shenikra aleinu.

English

Blessed is our God who has bestowed good upon us. In His compassion and abundant kindness, He has done great things for us. Like these and those, may He do yet more for us, to magnify His great, mighty and awesome name, by which we are called.

Hebrew

בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ שֶׁבְּרָאָנוּ לִכְבוֹדוֹ, לְהַלְלוֹ וּלְשַׁבְּחוֹ וּלְסַפֵּר הוֹדוֹ, מִכָּל עַם גָּבַר
עָלֵינוּ חַסְדּוֹ, לָכֵן בְּכָל לֵב וּבְכָל נֶפֶשׁ וּבְכָל מְאֹד, נַמְלִיכוֹ וּנְיַחֲדוֹ.

Sephardi

Baruch hu Eloheinu shebera'anu lichvodo, lehalelo uleshabcho ulesaper hodo, mikol am gavar
Aleinu chasdo, lachen bechol lev uvechol nefesh uvechol me'od, namlicho veneyachado.

English

Blessed is our God who created us for His glory, To praise and laud Him and tell of His majesty, His loving-kindness is greater to us than to any other nation. Therefore with all our heart and soul and might, let us proclaim His kingship and His unity.

Is. 9

Hebrew

שֶׁהַשָּׁלוֹם שֶׁלּוֹ יָשִׂים עָלֵינוּ בְּרָכָה וְשָׁלוֹם, מִשְּׂמֹאל וּמִיָּמִין עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁלוֹם,
הָרַחֲמָן הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם, וְיִזְכּוּ לִרְאוֹת בָּנִים וּבְנֵי בָנִים, עוֹסְקִים, בַּתּוֹרָה
וּבְמִצְוֹת, עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁלוֹם. פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ אֵל גִּבּוֹר אֲבִי־עַד שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם:

Sephardi

Shehashalom shelo yasim aleinu berachah veshalom, mismol umiyamin al Yisrael shalom,
Harachaman hu yevarech et amo vashalom, veyizku lir'ot banim uvenei vanim, oskim, baTorah
Uvemitzvot, al Yisrael shalom. Pele yo'etz Eil gibor avi-ad sar-shalom:

English

May He to whom peace belongs, send us blessing and peace. From left and right, may Israel have peace. May the Compassionate One bless His people with peace, and may they merit to see children and children’s children, occupied with Torah and the commandments, bringing Israel peace. Wondrous Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of peace.
