Hebrew
יוֹם שַׁבָּתוֹן אֵין לִשְׁכֹּחַ, זִכְרוֹ כְּרֵיחַ הַנִּיחוֹחַ
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ.
הַיּוֹם נִכְבָּד לִבְנֵי אֱמוּנִים, זְהִירִים לְשָׁמְרוֹ אָבוֹת וּבָנִים
חָקוּק בִּשְׁנֵי לוּחוֹת אֲבָנִים, מֵרֹב אוֹנִים וְאַמִּיץ כֹּחַ.
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ.
וּבָאוּ כֻלָּם בִּבְרִית יַחַד, נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמַע אָמְרוּ כְאֶחָד
וּפָתְחוּ וְעָנוּ יְהֹוָה אֶחָד, בָּרוּךְ נֹתֵן לַיָּעֵף כֹּחַ.
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ.
דִּבֵּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ בְּהַר הַמּוֹר, יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי זָכוֹר וְשָׁמוֹר
וְכָל פִּקּוּדָיו יַחַד לִגְמֹר, חֲזַק מָתְנַיִם וְאַמֵּץ כֹּחַ.
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ.
הָעָם אֲשֶׁר נָע, כַּצֹּאן תָּעָה, יִזְכֹּר לְפָקְדוֹ בְּרִית וּשְׁבוּעָה
לְבַל יַעֲבָר בָּם מִקְרֵה רָעָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע עַל מֵי נֹחַ.
יוֹנָה מָצְאָה בוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְשָׁם יָנוּחוּ יְגִיעֵי כֹחַ.

English
The day of rest should not be forgotten, Its memory is like sweet fragrance, On it the dove found rest, And in it the exhausted rest. This day is honored by the people of faith. Parents and children guard it with care. It was engraved on two tablets of stone, By the greatness of His power and His unfailing strength. On it the dove found rest, And in it the exhausted rest. All came together in a covenant: “We will do and we will obey,” they said as one. Then they responded, saying, “The LORD is One” – Blessed is He who gives the weary strength. On it the dove found rest, And in it the exhausted rest. He spoke in His holiness on the Mount of Myrrh [Sinai]: “Remember and observe the seventh day.” And learn together all His commands: Gird your loins and muster strength. On it the dove found rest, And in it the exhausted rest. The people who have wandered like a straying flock – May He remember the covenant and the oath, So that no harm should happen to them, As You swore at the end of Noah’s flood. On it the dove found rest, And in it the exhausted rest.
Hebrew
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה, מְאֹד צַהֲלוּ בְּרִנּוּנַי
וְגַם הַרְבּוּ מַעֲדַנַּי, אוֹתוֹ לִשְׁמֹר כְּמִצְוַת יְהֹוָה.
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה.
מֵעֲבֹר דֶּרֶךְ וּגְבוּלִים, מֵעֲשׂוֹת הַיּוֹם פְּעָלִים
לֶאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת בְּהִלּוּלִים, זֶה הַיּוֹם עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה.
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה.
וְאִם תִּשְׁמְרוּ, יָהּ יִנְצָרְךָ כְּבָבַת, אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וְגַם הַבַּת
וְקָרָאתָ עֹנֶג לַשַּׁבָּת, אָז תִּתְעַנַּג עַל יְהֹוָה.
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה.
אֱכֹל מַשְׁמַנִּים וּמַעֲדַנִּים, וּמַטְעַמִּים הַרְבֵּה מִינִים
אֱגוֹזֵי פֶרֶךְ וְרִמּוֹנִים, וְאָכַלְתָּ וְשָׂבָעְתָּ וּבֵרַכְתָּ אֶת יְהֹוָה.
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה.
לַעֲרֹךְ בַּשֻּׁלְחָן לֶחֶם חֲמוּדוֹת, לַעֲשׂוֹת הַיּוֹם שָׁלֹשׁ סְעוּדוֹת
אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַנִּכְבָּד לְבָרֵךְ וּלְהוֹדוֹת, שִׁקְדוּ וְשִׁמְרוּ וַעֲשׂוּ בָנַי
שַׁבַּת הַיּוֹם לַיהֹוָה.

Shabbat hayom laAdonai, me'od tzahalu berinunai
Vegam harbu ma'adanai, oto lishmor kemitzvat Adonai.
Shabbat hayom ladonai.
Me'avor derech ugevulim, me'asot hayom pe'alim
Le'echol velishtot behilulim, zeh hayom asah Adonai.
Shabbat hayom ladonai.
Ve'im tishmeru, Yah yintzarcha kevavat, atah uvincha vegam habat
Vekarata oneg laShabbat, az tit'anag al Adonai.
Shabbat hayom ladonai.
Echol mashmanim uma'adanim, umat'amim harbeh minim
Egozei ferech verimonim, ve'achalta vesava'ta uverachta et Adonai.

Et Hashem hanichbad levarech ulehodot, shikdu veshimru va'asu vanai
Shabbat hayom ladonai.
