אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ
אַתָּה הָאֵל עוֹשֵׂה פְלָאוֹת
בָּעַמִּים הוֹדַֽעְתָּ עוֹז נוֹרָאוֹת
גָאַֽלְתָּ בִּזְרוֹעַ עַמְּךָ מִתְּלָאוֹת
דִּכִּֽיתָ צָרֵיהֶם בְּמוֹתֵי תַחֲלוּאוֹת
Our God and God of our ancestors…
As You are the God who works wonders,
by the people You made known Your great strength.
Clearing Your people with power from torment,
death in ignominity You cut down their foes.
הָאוֹיֵב בְּקוּמוֹ לְעוֹרֵר מְדָנִים
וְדִמָּה לְהַכְרִית פִּרְחֵי עֲדָנִים
זָמַם לִשְׁקוֹל לְגִנְזֵי אֲדוֹנִים
חֲלִיפֵי מְאַת כִּכְּרֵי אֲדָנִים
Enemy rose to awaken strife,
flowers of beauty he seemed ready to reap.
Greedily he plotted to measure the masters’ treasuries,
hundreds of times more than the sockets’ silver talents.
טְלָאֶֽיךָ הִזְהַֽרְתָּ שִׁקְלֵיהֶם לְהַקְדִּים
יָדַֽעְתָּ הָעֲתִידוֹת וְדָרַֽשְׁתָּ נִשְׁקָדִים
כִּבּוּי לְהַמְצִיא לְלַהַב יוֹקְדִים
לְקוּחִים לַמָּֽוֶת לְתֶֽחִי נִפְקָדִים
Informing Your lambs to expedite the shekel-offering,
just to be careful of what You knew was to come.
Kindled is a fire, find a way to douse it!
Let those taken to death be marked out for life.
מַסֵּכָה צָרָה בְּעׇבְדָם לְפָנִים
נִמְסְרוּ לְהָתֵז קְנוֹקְנוֹת וּגְפָנִים
סְבָבוּם מוֹקְשִׁים בְּכׇל־דְּפָנִים
עֵינֵיהֶם לְךָ תּוֹלִים וּבְסִתְרְךָ נִצְפָּנִים
Making worship to a narrow idol in their past,
now they were sent out to be clipped like grapes and vines.
On all sides they were trapped,
placing their eyes to You, and they were hidden in Your secrecy.
פּוּר נֶהְפַּךְ בְּאוֹיְבִים לִשְׁלוֹט
צְלִיבָה הוּכַן אֲגָגִי לִקְלוֹט
קַלַּע וּבַלַּע פְּנֵי הַלּוֹט הַלּוֹט
רִיבֵי עָם בְּאַשְׁמַנִּים לַעֲלוֹט
Quashed was the lot! Ruling over their enemies,
so the crosses were prepared for the Agagite to hang.
Trapping and swallowing the covering that covered,
unto darkness the enemies were entombed.
שָׁלוֹם וֶאֱמֶת נִכְתַּב לְכׇל־צד
תּֽוֹקֶף יֶֽשַׁע סֶֽלַע וּמְצַד
שׁוֹדֵד הֻשְׁדַּד וּבְרִשְׁתּוֹ נוֹצַד
מְלָשְׁנִי נִסְחַף נִצְמַת וְנִרְצַד
Verity and peace written on ever side,
with power of salvation, xenolith and fortress.
Yea, the plunderer was plundered, zugzwang trapped him,
shunned disdainfully was my ill-speaker.
עָשׂוּ שְׂמָחוֹת וְלַדּוֹרוֹת קְבָעוּם
וּמִקְרָאוֹת שִׁלְּשׁוּם וְלֹא רִבְּעוּם
נִסְכְּמוּ מִמַּֽעַל וּלְמַֽטָּה טִבְּעוּם
בַּסֵּֽפֶר נֶחֱקַק עַל מַה קְבָעוּם
Making celebrations of which for all time were set,
never a fourth time will [Amalek] be written.
So noted on High, and below it was sealed,
of the reason ordained in this scroll what occurred.
רָמָה יָדְךָ לִסְלֽוֹחַ לַפּוֹשְׁעִים
יְהוּדִי וַהֲדַסָּה הֵקַֽמְתָּ מוֹשִׁיעִים
צִדְקָתָם עוֹמֶֽדֶת לָעַד לְשַׁעֲשׁוּעִים
חֵֽקֶר כְּבוֹדָם לְהִזָּכֵר לְנוֹשָׁעִים
Issuing forth is Your Hand as to forgive the criminals,
as the Jew and the Myrtle were cast as saviors.
So their righteousness stands for all time to delight,
the inquiry of their honor to remind of those saved.
קַנֵּא לְשִׁמְךָ נוֹרָא וְנִקְדָּש
חֲזֵה כַרְמְךָ נֶהֱרַס וְנִדָּשׁ
זְרוּיֵֽינוּ קַבֵּץ וְשִׁיר לְךָ יְחֻדָּשׁ
קַיְּמֵם וְהַחֲיֵם בְּבִנְיַן בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ
Revenge your name, awesome and holy!
Note Your vineyard, destroyed and trampled!
Gather the scattered for Your song to be renewed,
that they be sustained and revived when the Temple is built.
וְכַעֲשׂוֹתְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת בְּאוֹתָן הַיָּמִים
אִתָּֽנוּ הַפְלֵא תְּשׁוּעַת עוֹלָמִים
מְצוֹא לְפָנֶֽיךָ כֹּֽפֶר וְתַנְחוּמִים
אֵל מֶֽלֶךְ יוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רַחֲמִים
And just as you did wonders in those days,
confirm the wonder of universal rescue.
At Your presence, find atonement and appeasement,
God, Sovereign, enthroned on the seat of mercy.
