This translation by Rabbi David Aaron de Sola of “Yah Ribon” by Rabbi Yisrael Najara was first published in his Ancient Melodies of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews (1857). Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 54th century A.M., acrostic, Acrostic signature, Aramaic, פיוטים piyyuṭim, rhyming translation, יה רבון Yah Ribon, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): A translation of Ḥad Gadya into Esperanto by Erin Piateski with a Hebraicization schema for Esperanto by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer. Piateski’s translation first appeared in her כוכב ירוק הגדה של פסח | Verda Stelo Hagado de Pesaĥo (2010). Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., constructed languages, counting songs, אחד מי יודע eḥad mi Yodéaʼ, Esperanto translation, L.L. Zamenhoff, פיוטים piyyuṭim, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): Eḥad Mi Yodéa is a counting-song that is a beloved part of Seders the world over. Counting up to 13, it is mostly written in Hebrew, but there are versions that can be found in many different languages. This translation is in the Judeo-Italian dialect of Siena, based on Geremia Mario Castelnuovo’s 1956 recording from Leo Levi’s collection of Judeo-Italian ethnomusicological recordings. A link to the original recording can be found here. Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., counting songs, אחד מי יודע eḥad mi Yodéaʼ, Italian translation, פיוטים piyyuṭim, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): Eḥad Mi Yodéa is a counting-song that is a beloved part of Seders the world over. It is mostly written in Hebrew, counting up to 13, but there are versions that can be found in many different languages. This translation is in Bukhori, also known as Judeo-Tajik, as translated by the great Shimon ben Eliyahu Ḥakham (1843-1910), the chief rabbi of the Bukharan Jewish community in Jerusalem. His full translation of all liturgical additions in the month of Nisan for the Bukharan community can be found in חוקת הפסח Ḥuqat haPesaḥ (1904) – the source for this transcription on page 128-130 (see included). Shimon Ḥakham transcribed it into vocalized Hebrew script, which is included here alongside transliterations into Tajik Cyrillic and a Roman transcription. Ḥad Gadya has a place in Seder tables throughout the Jewish quadrant, and in many communities it was read in translation. This adaptation into tlhIngan Hol is very useful for when your universal translator is malfunctioning at a Seder on Qo’noS. Okay, but to be serious for a moment, while the many connections between the canon of Star Trek and the Jewish community are well known, one of the lesser-known ones is that the inventor of tlhIngan Hol (the Klingon language), Marc Okrand, is Jewish, and a substantial number of Klingon terms come from Hebrew or Yiddish. In honor of that connection, the editor has developed this adaptation of the well-known seder table-song Ḥad Gadya into tlhIngan Hol, as well as a home-brewed transcription system into Hebrew script called pIluy. The wildlife has also been adapted, so instead of a goat the story begins with one little targ. (Sure, they might LOOK like pigs, but who knows if they chew cud or not!) Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 24th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., 61st century A.M., Aramaic, constructed languages, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, Jews of Star Trek, Klingon translation, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, Star Trek, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): This is the translation of Ḥad Gadya into Judeo-Valyrian with a Hebraicization schema for Valyrian by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer. Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 24th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, constructed languages, Game of Thrones, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, נרצה Nirtsah, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, Song of Ice and Fire, Valyrian translation, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): Ḥad Gadya has a place in Seder tables throughout Arda, and in many communities it was read in translation. This translation into Quenya is necessary for any good Lothlórien sedarim. But to be serious, Quenya was one of several languages developed by J.R.R. Tolkien. It serves as the sacred ancestral language of the Noldorin elves in the Middle-Earth legendarium. The editor here has developed this adaptation of the well-known seder table-song Ḥad Gadya into Quenya, as well as a home-brewed transcription system into Hebrew script included here (PDF | ODT). This translation uses several fan-made terms, such as cuimacir for “butcher” and luhtya- for “extinguish”, as well as one original neologism, yacincë for “kid-goat.” Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, constructed languages, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, High-Elven, Middle-Earth, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, Quenya translation, salvation, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): This adaptation of Ḥad Gadya was written by CenozoicSynapsid and included in their Lord of the Rings fan fiction, “All Who Are Hungry” (Archive of Our Own 2019). Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, Middle-Earth, Third Age of Arda, War of the Ring Contributor(s): A translation of Ḥad Gadya into Esperanto by Erin Piateski with a Hebraicization schema for Esperanto by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer. Piateski’s translation first appeared in her כוכב ירוק הגדה של פסח | Verda Stelo Hagado de Pesaĥo (2010). Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, constructed languages, Esperanto translation, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, L.L. Zamenhoff, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): This is “Had Gadiâ | Un Cabri: La Légende de l’Agneau (Poésie chaldaico-provençale, chantée a la table de famille les soirs de Paques),” a translation of Ḥad Gadya into French by Dom Pedro Ⅱ (1825-1891), emperor of Brazil, as published in Poésies hébraïco-provençales du rituel israélite comtadin traduites et transcriptes par S. M. D. Pedro Ⅱ, de Alcântara, empereur du Brésil (1891), pp. 45-59. A note on the last page indicates the translation was made in Vichy, France on 30 July 1891. Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, Ladino Translation, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): A Čveneburuli (Judeo-Georgian) translation of the popular Passover song, Ḥad Gadya. Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, Judeo-Georgian, Kavkazi Jewry, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): A Yevanic (Judeo-Greek) translation of the popular Passover song, Ḥad Gadya. Categories: Tags: 16th century C.E., 53rd century A.M., Aramaic, Byzantine, חד גדיא Ḥad Gadya, Judeo-Greek, פיוטים piyyuṭim, predation, salvation, Yevanic, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): This is a transcription and translation of the song הַאגְּדָה עוֹוָאִידְנָא (Agda Ŋowaidna) as presented on Twitter, 6 December 2021 by Josh Calvo (@joshuac220), writing “In Meknes, Morocco, on the day after Ḥanukkah (which is today, alas) the Jewish community would come together to a light a bonfire from the leftover wax and oil of the holiday, singing this song (in Arabic) while watching the blaze.” Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A complete poetic translation (all six verses) of Maoz Tsur. As far as the editor knows this is the first translation of Maoz Tsur to both (a) cover all the verses relatively accurately and (b) preserve the strict ABAB-BBCCB rhyme scheme of the original. (Reb Zalman’s comes close but it goes ABAB-CCDDC instead). If it sounds violent, that’s because it *is* violent. Ḥanukkah is a holiday about actively fighting against assimilation and abuse. A lot of Maoz Tsur translations are censored, but it’s a powerful, loud, and even nationalist statement. Categories: Tags: 13th century C.E., 51st century A.M., Acrostic signature, High Middle Ages, Mainz, מעוז צור Maoz Tsur, פיוטים piyyuṭim, rhyming translation Contributor(s): “Wenn man die Gesetzrolle aus der heiligen Lade nimmt” was translated/adapted from the prayer “Brikh Shmeih d’Marei Alma” (Zohar II 206a) by Yehoshua Heshil Miro and published in his anthology of teḥinot, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaicher Religion. The translation appears in the 1829 edition, תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaicher Religion as teḥinah №15 on pp. 19-20. In the 1835 and 1842 editions, it also appears as teḥinah №15 on pp. 22-23. This is the formula of the prayer for the government established by chief rabbi Joseph H. Hertz as introduced in 1935 for King George IV at the Royal Jubilee Service and included in his revised Authorised Prayer Book, vol. II (1942/3), p. 506-507. In 2014, this formula was amended by Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis of the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth, to include a short passage in recognition of the United Kingdom’s armed forces. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., British Commonwealth, British Jewry, British Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Great Britain, הנותן תשועה haNotén Teshuah, King Charles Ⅲ Contributor(s): This “Prayer in honour of the Queen’s 90th birthday,” was first delivered by Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis for the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth on Shabbat 11th June 2016, and shared via their website in English. Side-by-side with the English we have set the Hebrew text from the formula of the traditional prayer “haNoten Teshua” as used by the Office of the Chief Rabbi as amended in 2014. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., British Commonwealth, British Jewry, British Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Great Britain, הנותן תשועה haNotén Teshuah, Prayers for leaders, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ, Queens Contributor(s): In 2014, the formula of “haNoten Teshua” suggested by the Office of the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth, was amended by the chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, to include a short passage in recognition of the United Kingdom’s armed forces. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., British Commonwealth, British Jewry, British Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Great Britain, הנותן תשועה haNotén Teshuah, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ, Queens Contributor(s): “Gebet für den Regenten” was translated/adapted by Yehoshua Heshil Miro from the traditional prayer for the sovereign (“Hanoten Teshua”) and published in his anthology of teḥinot, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaischer Religion. It first appears in the 1833 edition, תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaischer Religion on pp. 66-67. In the 1835 edition, it appears as teḥinah №45 on pp. 75-76. In the 1842 edition, it appears as teḥinah №47 on pp. 78-79, with the name of Friedrich Wilhelm Ⅲ (1770-1840) replaced by Friedrich Wilhelm Ⅳ (1795-1861). The Hebrew liturgy from which Miro’s translation was derived was reconstructed from variations of Hanoten Teshua current in the 19th century at the time this prayer was published. Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 56th century A.M., German Jewry, German vernacular prayer, הנותן תשועה haNotén Teshuah, Kingdom of Prussia Contributor(s): This translation of “Ki Eshmera Shabbat” by Rabbi David Aaron de Sola of a piyyut by Avraham ibn Ezra was first published in his Ancient Melodies of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews (1857). | ||
