יוֹם זֶה מְכֻבָּד מִכׇּל־יָמִים
כִּי בוֹ יִשְׁתֶּה צַדִּיק תָּמִים׃ |
This day is honored over all days
For on it the righteous pure one will drink. |
כׇּל־הַשָּׁנָה תַּעֲשֶׂה מְלַאכְתֶּֽךָ
וְיוֹם הַפּוּרִים לְיֵינֶֽךָ פּוּרִים לֹא תַּעֲשֶׂה בּוֹ מְלָאכָה כִּי חַג הוּא לִפְרִי הַכְּרָמִים׃ יוֹם זֶה… |
All year, do your work,
But on Purim day to your wine. Purim, don’t do labor on it For it is a holiday to the fruit of vineyards. This day… |
רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לִימֵי שִׁכָּרוֹן
יוֹם מִשְׁתֶּה יוֹם עֲבֹדַת גָּרוֹן עַל־כֵּן כׇּל־אִישׁ בְּיֵינוֹ יָרוֹן עַל־שְׁתֵּי כּוֹסוֹת יִבְצְעוּ תְּמִימִים׃ יוֹם זֶה… |
First it is of the days of inebriation,
A day of drinking, a day of working the throat. Thus each man will cheer with his wine, For two cups the pure ones cut. This day… |
אֱכֹל לְבִיבוֹת שְׁתֵה יֵין עָסִיס
כִּי הַיַּֽיִן יִתֶּן לְכׇל־בּוֹ יָשִׂישׂ אוֹר פְּנֵי מֶֽלֶךְ כַּשֶּֽׁמֶן כָּתִית מַרְפֵּה לְנֶֽפֶשׁ וְאֹֽרֶךְ יָמִים׃ יוֹם זֶה… |
Eat pancakes, drink raisin-wine
For wine gives exultation to all in it. Light of the face of a king, like extra-virgin oil, Healing to the soul and longevity. This day… |
לֹא תֶּחְסַר כׇּל־בּוֹ וְשָׁתִֽיתָ וְשָׂמַֽחְתָּ
וּבֵרַֽכְתָּ אֶת־הַיַּֽיִן עַל־הַשֻּׁלְחָן עָרַֽכְתָּ יִשְׂמַח גַּם־הֶעָנִי בְּמָנוֹת שָׁלַֽחְתָּ כִּי־אָסוּר בְּפוּרִים פָּנִים נִזְעָמִים׃ יוֹם זֶה… |
Don’t lack any part of it! Drink and rejoice
And bless the wine on the set table. Also, let the poor celebrate with gifts you;ve sent, For angry faces are forbidden on Purim! This day… |
הַכּוֹסוֹת מְסַפְּרִים כְּבוֹדוֹ
וְגַם הַמַּרְתֵּף מָלֵא חַסְדּוֹ רְאוּ כִּי כׇּל־אֵֽלֶּה עָשָׂה יָדוֹ כִּי מִשְׁתֶּה הוּא לְבוֹעֲרִים וַחֲכָמִים׃ יוֹם זֶה… |
The cups tell its glory
And the cellar is full of its grace. See that all these its power does, For it is a drink for fools and sages. This day… |
