Wenn man die Gesetzrolle aus der heiligen Lade nimmt. (הוצאת ספר תורה) |
When one takes the Torah out from the holy ark. (הוצאת ספר תורה) | |
בְּרִיךְ שְׁמֵהּ דְּמָרֵא עָלְמָא, בְּרִיךְ כִּתְרָךְ וְאַתְרָךְ׃ |
Gepriesen sei der Name des Herrn der Welt, gelobt seine Herrlichkeit und sein Reich! |
Blessed be the name of the Lord of the world, praised be his glory and his kingdom! |
Habe Wohlgefallen an deinem Volke ewiglich, und zeige uns die Befreiung durch deine Allmacht in deinem heiligen Tempel! Laß uns einen Strahl deines Lichtes zufließen, und nimm unser Gebet mit Erbarmen auf. |
Be pleased with your people forever, and show us deliverance through your omnipotence in your holy Temple! Let a ray of your light flow to us, and receive our prayer with mercy. | |
יְהֵא רַעֲוָא קֳדָמָךְ דְּתוֹרִיךְ לָן חַיִּין בְּטִיבוּתָא, וְלֶהֱוֵי אֲנָא פְקִידָא בְּגוֹ צַדִּיקַיָּא, לְמִרְחַם עָלַי וּלְמִנְטַר יָתִי וְיַת־כׇּל־דִּי־לִי וְדִי־לְעַמָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל. |
Es sei dir gefällig unser Leben zu erhalten in Glückseligkeit, und daß ich mitgerechnet werde unter die Gerechten. Erbarme dich über mich und über die Meinigen, und über ganz Israel, |
Let it please you to preserve our life in blessedness, and that I may be numbered among the righteous. Have mercy on me and on mine, and on all Israel, |
אַנְתְּ הוּא זָן לְכֹלָּא וּמְפַרְנֵס לְכֹלָּא, אַנְתְּ הוּא שַׁלִּיט עַל כֹּלָּא, אַנְתְּ הוּא דְשַׁלִּיט עַל מַלְכַיָּא וּמַלְכוּתָא דִּילָךְ הִיא. |
du bist es ja, der alles ernährt und erhält; du bist der Beherrscher des Weltalls, der Beherrscher der Könige; denn dein ist das Reich. — |
for it is you who feed and sustain all things; you are the ruler of the universe, the ruler of kings; for yours is the kingdom. — |
אֲנָא עַבְדָּא דְקֻדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא דְּסָגִידְנָא קַמֵּהּ וּמִקַּמֵּי דִּיקַר אוֹרַיְתֵהּ בְּכׇל־עִדָּן וְעִדָּן. |
Ich ein Diener des Heiligen, gelobt sei er, der sich alle Zeit vor ihm und vor der Würde seiner Lehre (Thora) beugt. |
I a servant of the Holy One, praise be to Him, bowing down all the time to Him and to the dignity of His teaching (Torah). |
לָא עַל־אֱנָשׁ רָחִיצְנָא וְלָא עַל־בַּר־אֱלָהִין סָמִיכְנָא, אֶלָּא בֶּאֱלָהָא דִשְׁמַיָּא, דְּהוּא אֱלָהָא קְשׁוֹט וְאוֹרַיְתֵהּ קְשׁוֹט וּנְבִיאוֹהִי קְשׁוֹט, וּמַסְגֵּא לְמֶעְבַּד טַבְוָן וּקְשׁוֹט׃ |
Ich verlasse mich auf keinen Menschen, ich stütze mich auf kein göttliches Wesen, außer dem Gott des Himmels, der allein ist der wahre Gott, dessen Lehren wahr sind, dessen Propheten wahrhaftig sind, der unendlich wohl thut in der Wahrheit. |
I do not rely on any man, I do not rely on any divine being, except the God of heaven, who alone is the true God, whose teachings are true, whose prophets are true, who is infinitely good in truth. |
בֵּהּ אֲנָא רָחִיץ, וְלִשְׁמֵהּ קַדִּישָׁא יַקִּירָא אֲנָא אֵמַר תֻּשְׁבְּחָן. |
Auf ihn allein verlasse ich mich, seinem heiligen würdigen Namen singe ich Loblieder. |
In him alone I rely, to his holy worthy name I sing praises. |
יְהֵא רַעֲוָא קֳדָמָךְ דְּתִפְתַּח לִבָּאִי בְּאוֹרַיְתָך, וְתַשְׁלִים מִשְׁאֲלִין דְּלִבָּאִי וְלִבָּא דְכׇל־עַמָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְטַב וּלְחַיִּין וְלִשְלָם, אָמֵן׃ |
Es sei dir gefällig, daß du mein Herz deiner Lehre öffnest und die Wünsche meines Herzens erfüllest, wie die Wünsche des ganzen Volkes Israel, zum guten, zum Leben und zur Glückseligkeit. Amen. |
May it please you to open my heart to your teachings and fulfill the desires of my heart, like the desires of all the people of Israel, for good, for life and for happiness. Amen. |
“Wenn man die Gesetzrolle aus der heiligen Lade nimmt” was 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.
We welcome corrections and improvements. The transcription of the German from Latin script in Fraktur type provided machine-readable text for a machine translation by DeepL, which we then edited for accuracy and clarity. –Aharon Varady

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
