וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ אוֹמֶץ גְּבוּרוֹתֶיךָ הִפְלֵאתָ בַּפֶּסַח׃ בְּרֹאש כָׇּל מוֹעֲדוֹת נִשֵּׂאתָ פֶּסַח׃ גִּלִּיתָ לְאֶזְרָחִי חֲצוֹת לֵיל פֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Robur fortitudinis tuæ mirificasti in Paschate. In verticem omnium festivitatum esxulisti Pascha. Apparuisti indigenæ (Gen. 15:13-14) circa mediam noctem Paschatos.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ דְּלָתָיו דָּפַקְתָּ כְּחוֹם הַיּוֹם בַּפֶּסַח׃ הִסְעִיד נוֹצֲצִים עֻגוֹת מַצּוֹת בַּפֶּסַח׃ וְאֶל הַבָּקָר רָץ זֵכֶר לְשׁוֹר עֶרֶךְ פֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Ostium ejus pulsasti dum incalcefceret dies Paschatos. Convivium fecis scintillantibus (Gen. 18:18) placentis azymis in Paschate. Et ad bovile cucurrit (Gen. 18:7) memoriam bovis repræsentantis Pascha.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ זוֹעֲמוּ סְדוֹמִים וְלוֹהָטוּ בְּאֵשׁ פֶּסַח׃ חֻלַּץ לוֹט מֵהֶם וּמַצּוֹת אָפָה בְּקֵץ פֶּסַח׃ טֵאטֵאתָ אַדְמַת מוֹף וְנוֹף בְּעָׇבְרְךָ בַּפֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Abominabiles fuerunt Sodomitæ Deo (Gen. 19:24-25) & combusti sunt igne in Paschate. Extraxi Lothum (Gen. 19:3-16) ex eis & azymos coxit in fine Paschatos. Evertisti terram Muph & Nubh (terram nempe Memphis, Metropolim Ægypti Exod. 12:29.) in transire tuo in Paschate.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ יָהּ רֹאשׁ כָׇּל אוֹן מָחַצְתָּ בְּלֵיל שִׁמּוּר פֶּסַח׃ כַּבִּיר עַל בֵּן בְּכוֹר פָּסַחְתָּ בְּדַם פֶּסַח׃ לְבִלְתִּי תֵּת מַשְׁחִית לָבֹא בִפְתָחַי בַּפֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Deus caput omnis vis (omnium primogenitorum, sicuti dicitur Gen. 49:3.) vulnerasti in nocte custodiæ Paschatos. Validissime super primogenitum tuum transiliisti (Exod. 12:13) in sanguine Paschatos. Nequaquam dare perdenti (Exod. 12:13) intrare januas meas Paschate.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ מְסֻגֶּרֶת סֻגָּרָה בְּעִתּוֹתֵי פֶּסַח׃ נִשְׁמְדָה מִדְיָן בִּצְלִיל שְׂעוֹרֵי עוֹמֵר פֶּסַח׃ שׂוֹרָפוּ מַשְׁמַנֵּי פוּל וְלוּד בִּיקַד יְקוֹד פֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Claudendo clausa erat (Jericho, Jos. 6:1.) in temporibus Paschatos. Disperdita est Madian in coquendo hordea Omer Paschatos. Cremati sunt principes Pul & Lud flammantibus titionibus tempore Paschatos.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ עוֹד הַיּוֹם בְּנוֹב לַעֲמוֹד עַד גָּעָה עוֹנַת פֶּסַח׃ פַּס יָד כָׇּתְבָה לְקַעֲקֵעַ צוּל בַּפֶּסַח׃ צָפֹה הַצָּפִית עָרוֹךְ הַשֻּׁלְחָן בַּפֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Adhuc hodie in Muph standum erat Senacheribo usque appropinquaret tempus Paschatos. Frustum manus scripsit sigmatizando eradicare Babel in Paschate. (Balthasar præceperat) Candelabrum etigere mensamque parare in festo Paschatos.
וּבְכֵן, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶֽבַח פֶּֽסַח׃ קָהָל כִּנְסָה הֲדַסָּה לְשַׁלֵּשׁ צוֹם בַּפֶּסַח׃ רֹאשׁ מִבֵּית רָשָׁע מָחַצְתָּ בְּעֵץ חֲמִשִּׁים בַּפֶּסַח׃ שְׁתֵּי אֵלֶּה רֶגַע תָּבִיא לְעוּצִית בַּפֶּסַח׃ תָּעוֹז יָדְךָ תָּרוּם יְמִינֶךָ כְּלֵיל הִתְקַדֵּשׁ חַג פֶּסַח׃	Et dicetis sacrificium Paschatos. Cœtum congregavit Hadasah ad triplicandum jejunium in Paschate. Caput de domo impii vulnerasti in ligno quinquaginta cubitorum in Paschate. Duo ista momenta adduces super UZ in Paschate. Fortificetur manus tua & exaltetur dextra tua sicuti noctu sanctificare festum Paschatos.

Johann Stephan Rittangel (Latin translation)

Johann Stephan Rittangel (Latin: Rittangelius) (b.1606 Forscheim near Bamberg – d. 1652 Königsberg ) was a Christian Hebraist. Born Jewish, he later converted to Catholicism, and later to Calvinism and Lutheranism. In 1640, Rittangel was appointed professor of Oriental languages at the University of Königsberg (Prussia). In 1641, Rittangel visited a community of Karaite Jews in Trakai, before traveling to London and then to the Dutch Republic where, in Amsterdam, he taught Hebrew and possibly identified, for a time, as a Jew. In July 1642 he left the Low Countries to go to Königsberg, where he spent the rest of his life until his death in 1652. He obtained a Hebrew manuscript of the Sefer Yezirah through the Mennonite merchant Gerebrand Anslo, for a translation into Latin in 1642 ( Liber Jezirah qui Abrahamo Patriarchae adscribitur). In 1644, he published his Latin translation of the Passover Haggadah. He made one of the earliest translations of Jewish prayers, under the title Hochfeyerliche Sollennitaeten, Gebethe und Collecten Anstatt der Opfer, Nebst Andern Ceremonien so von der Jüdischen Kirchen am Ersten Neuen-Jahrs-Tag Gebetet und Abgehandelt Werden Müssen, Königsberg, 1652. His posthumous work Bilibra Veritatis was written to substantiate the claim that the Targums prove the doctrine of the Trinity. This is also the subject of his Veritas Religionis Christianæ (Franeker, 1699).

Elazar ben Killir

Eleazar ben Killir, also known as Eleazar Kalir, Eleazar Qalir or El'azar HaKalir (c. 570 – c. 640) was a Hebrew poet whose classical liturgical verses, known as piyut, have continued to be sung through the centuries during significant religious services, including those on Tisha b'Av and on the sabbath after a wedding. He was one of Judaism's earliest and most prolific of the paytanim, Hebrew liturgical poets. He wrote piyutim for all the main Jewish festivals, for special Sabbaths, for weekdays of festive character, and for the fasts. Many of his hymns have found their way into festive prayers of the Ashkenazi Jews' nusaḥ. (via wikipedia).

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
