Hebrew
תַּעֲנִית צִבּוּר קָבְעוּ תִּבּוֹעַ
צְרָכִים, שׁוּב עָדֶיךָ חַפֵּשׂ
חֲקוֹר דְּרָכִים, רַךְ לִרְצוֹת בְּשָׁלֹשׁ
עֶשְׂרֵה עֲרָכִים, קָשֶׁה לִכְעוֹס תֵּת
לְאַפַּיִם אֲרֻכִּים:
צַדְּדִיךָ מְקֻשָּׁטִים עֲדִים בְּלִי
תַפְשִׁיט, פְּאֵר הָרַחֲמִים וְהַסְּלִיחוֹת
הוֹד תַּכְשִׁיט, עֲטֶרֶת כְּלִילַת קִלּוּס
וּפִלּוּל תַּקְשִׁיט, סֵדֶר הַחַיִּים
וּפַרְנָסָה לִיצָרִים תּוֹשִׁיט:
נִסְתַּתְּמָה הַבִּירָה וְנִתְרוֹקַן טְהַר
הַשֻּׁלְחָן, מֵזִין מֵזִיחַ סֵתֶר מֵעֲבֹדַת
פִּלְחָן, לִשְׁפִיכוֹת הַנֶּפֶשׁ חֲשׁוֹב
כַּבְּשִׁית זִלְחָן, כַּמְעַטֵּר וּמַשְׂבִּיעַ
גּוֹאֵל רוֹפֵא וְסַלְּחָן:
יָאוֹת לָךְ יַעַן מִמְּנָתֵךְ נִשְׁנֶסֶת,
טוּב רוּחֵךְ הֱיוֹת נְזוֹנֶת וּמִתְפַּרְנֶסֶת,
חֵלֶף לָךְ נִשְׁאַלַת קוֹבֶלֶת
וּמִתְנוֹסֶסֶת, זְכֹר דַּאֲגוֹתֶיהָ לְפָנֶיךָ
מְשַׁחֵת וּמְכַנֶּסֶת:
וְאֵלֶיךָ הִיא נְשֻׁיָה וּבָךְ חָסָיָה,
הֲוָוֹתֶיהָ הָעֲבֵר מִי כָּמוֹךָ חָסִין יָהּ, דֶּרֶךְ
אֲמֻנּוֹתֵיךָ בְּחֶלְקֵךְ לְלִגְיוֹנֵךְ אַפְּסַנְיָא,
גְּמוֹל חֶסֶד לַעֲלוּבָה הַלָּזוּ אַכְסַנְיָא:
בְּקִיאִים וּמְיַשְּׁבִים לְרַצּוֹתְךָ
בִּדְבָרִים עֲרֵבִים, אָפְסוּ פַסּוּ בְּכֹחָם
קִטְגוֹר מְעַרְבְּבִים, מְאַהֲבֵי לַאֲבִי
שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם זְרִיזִים מְעַרְבְּבִים, יִרְאֵי
נִדְבְּרֵי דָתוֹ שָׁחֹר וַעֲרֵבִים:
הִקְדַּשְׁנוּ צוֹם עוֹלָלִים וּזְקֵנֵי
אֲסֻפּוֹת, יִשַּׁרְנוּ רִנָּה וּתְפִלָּה
שִׁקַּדְנוּ סִפּוֹת, חֲשֹׁךְ לְמַטָּה מֵעָוֹן
וּשְׁלוֹמֵנוּ תִשְׁפֹּת, זְקוֹף דַּל מֵעָפָר
וְאֶבְיוֹן מֵאַשְׁפֹּת:
בְּתוֹר הַמַּעֲלָה וּבְמִדּוֹת הֲגוּנוֹת
תְּרוּמוֹת, עַרְבְתָּנוּ שִׂים לְטוֹב יוֹשֵׁב
מְרוֹמוֹת, וּבְמִקְוֵה טֹהַר תַּדִּיחַ
קִלּוֹת וְרָמוֹת, מְצֹא תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ חֵסֵד
לַאֲדָרְךָ רוֹמְמוֹת:

A public fast they have established—demand needs; again search toward You; examine ways; soft to be appeased with the thirteen attributes, hard to anger, granting long forbearance: Your flanks are adorned with ornaments You will not strip off; the glory of the mercies and the pardons is a splendid jewel, a crown of perfect praise; and prayer You will adorn, the order of life and sustenance for the creatures You will extend: The capital is blocked up and the pure table emptied; He who sustains pushes aside the concealment from the service of worship; for the outpourings of the soul consider as a small dish, as one who crowns and satisfies—Redeemer, Healer, and Forgiver: It is fitting for You, because from Your portion she is sustained, the goodness of Your spirit that she be nourished and provided for; in exchange she is asked of You, she who complains and is distinguished; remember her anxieties before You, she who is corrupted and gathered in: And to You she is cast, and in You she takes refuge; remove her calamities—who is like You, mighty Yah—according to the way of Your faithfulness, in Your portion for Your legion, Apsanya; bestow kindness upon this afflicted one, the sojourner: Experts and those who set aright to appease You with sweet words—gone, vanished is the power of the confusing accuser; lovers of the Father in heaven, the diligent ones, confuse [the prosecutors]; those who revere the words of His law are black yet sweet: We have sanctified a fast of infants and elders of assemblies; we have set right song and prayer; we have been diligent with additions; withhold below from iniquity and establish our peace; raise the poor from the dust and the needy from the dunghill: In the order of ascent and with proper attributes of elevations, prepare us; set for good the One who dwells on high; and in a pure mikveh wash away the light and the lofty; find our prayer to be kindness for the glorification of Your majesty:
