Keter Malkhut · Chapter 20

‹›
  1. 1

    מִי יְשׂוֹחֵחַ גְּדֻלָּתֶךָ בְּהַקִּיפְךָ עַל גַּלְגַּל צֶדֶק גַּלְגַּל שְׁבִיעִי וּבוֹ שַׁבְּתַי בִּתְקוּפָתוֹ.

    Who shall reason of Thy greatness? For Thou hast encompassed the sphere of Jupiter with a seventh sphere, And therein revolveth Saturn.

  2. 2

    וְגוּפוֹ גָדוֹל מִגּוּף הָאָרֶץ אֶחָד וְתִשְׁעִים פַּעַם בְּמִדָּתוֹ.

    And his body is greater than that of the earth ninety-one times by the measure of him,

  3. 3

    וְסוֹבֵב הַגַּלְגַּל בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בִּמְרוּצָתוֹ.

    And he completeth his revolution in thirty years of his course,

  4. 4

    וּמְעוֹרֵר מִלְחָמוֹת וּבִזָּה וּשְׁבִי וְרָעָב כִּי כֵן דָּתוֹ.

    And stirreth up wars, And spoliation and captivity and famine, For such is his appointed task;

  5. 5

    וּמַחֲרִיב אֲרָצוֹת וְעוֹקֵר מַלְכֻיּוֹת בִּרְצוֹן הַמַּפְקִיד אוֹתוֹ. לַעֲבוֹד עֲבוֹדָתוֹ נָכְרִיָּה עֲבוֹדָתוֹ:

    And devastateth the lands, And rooteth up kingdoms According to the will of Him "Who hath appointed him to His service, Even such strange service."
