Se’uda Shelishit for Shabbat

Hebrew
אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדָתָא דִמְהֵימְנוּתָא שְׁלִימְתָא, חֶדְוָתָא דְמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא.
אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדָתָא דְמַלְכָּא.
דָּא הִיא סְעוּדָתָא דִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין
וְעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא וַחֲקַל תַּפּוּחִין קַדִּישִׁין אָתְיָן לִסְעֻדָּה בַּהֲדָהּ.
Sephardi
Atkinu se'udata dimeheimnuta shelimta, chedvata demalka kadisha.
Atkinu se'udata demalka.
Da hi se'udata diz'eir anpin
Ve'atika kadisha vachakal tapuchin kadishin atyan lis'udah bahadah.
English
Prepare the feast of perfect faith, joy of the holy King. Prepare the royal feast. This is the feast [mystically known as] “the Small Face” – and “the Holy Ancient One” and “the Field of Holy Apples” [mystical terms for aspects of the Divine] come to partake in the feast with it.
Hebrew
בְּנֵי הֵיכָלָא, דְכַסִּיפִין לְמֶחֱזֵי זִיו דִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין.
יְהוֹן הָכָא, בְּהַאי תַּכָּא, דְבֵהּ מַלְכָּא בִּגְלוּפִין.
צְבוּ לְחַדָּא, בְּהַאי וַעֲדָא, בְּגוֹ עִירִין וְכָל גַּדְפִין.
חֲדוּ הַשְׁתָּא, בְּהַאי שַׁעֲתָא, דְבֵהּ רַעֲוָא וְלֵית זַעְפִין.
קְרִיבוּ לִי, חֲזוּ חֵילִי, דְלֵית דִּינִין דְתַקִּיפִין.
לְבַר נָטְלִין, וְלָא עָאלִין, הָנֵי כַּלְבִין דַּחֲצִיפִין.
וְהָא אֲזַמִּין עַתִּיק יוֹמִין, לְמִצְחָהּ עַד יְהוֹן חֲלִיפִין.
רְעוּ דִי לֵהּ, דְגַלֵּי לֵהּ, לְבַטָּלָה בְּכָל קְלִיפִין.
יְשַׁוֵּי לוֹן, בְּנֻקְבֵיהוֹן, וְיִטַּמְרוּן בְּגוֹ כֵּיפִין.
אֲרֵי הַשְׁתָּא, בְּמִנְחָתָא, בְּחֶדְוָתָא דִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין.

English
Children of the palace who yearn to see the radiance of “the Small Face,” be here at this table in which the King is engraved. Long to join this gathering together with the winged angels. Rejoice now at this time of favor when there is no displeasure. Come close to me, see my strength, for there are no harsh judgments: Those brazen dogs are outside, unable to enter. So I invite the Ancient of Days, His brow of desire as the moment fades, And His will is revealed, to annul all forces of impurity. Hurl them into the abyss, hide them in the clefts of rocks, For now, at Minha-time, is a time of joy for “the Small Face.”
