Keter Malkhut · Chapter 22

‹›
  1. 1

    מִי יֵדַע הֲלִיכוֹתֶךָ בַּעֲשׂוֹתְךָ לְשִׁבְעָה כּוֹכְבֵי לֶכֶת הֵיכָלוֹת. בִּשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה מַזָּלוֹת:

    Who can know Thy pathways? For Thou hast made palaces for the seven planets In the twelve constellations,

  2. 2

    וְעַל טָלֶה וָשׁוֹר אָצַלְתָּ כֹּחֲךָ בְּהִתְיַחֲדָם. וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי תְּאוֹמִים כִּשְׁנֵי אַחִים בְּהִתְאַחֲדָם. וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם פְּנֵי אָדָם.

    And to the Ram and the Bull Thou hast imparted Thy strength in uniting them, And the third is the Twins, like two brothers in their unity And their human likeness.

  3. 3

    וְלָרְבִיעִי וְהוּא סַרְטָן גַּם לָאַרְיֵה נָתַתָּ מֵהוֹדְךָ עָלָיו. וְלַאֲחוֹתוֹ הַבְּתוּלָה הַקְּרוֹבָה אֵלָיו.

    And the fourth is the Crab, And on him, as on the Lion, hast Thou bestowed of Thy splendour, And on his sister the Virgin, who is near unto him,

  4. 4

    וְכֵן לַמֹּאזְנַיִם וְלָעַקְרָב אֲשֶׁר בְּצִדּוֹ הוּשַׁת. וְהַתְּשִׁיעִי הַנִּבְרָא כְּצוּרַת גִּבּוֹר כֹחוֹ וְלֹא נָשָׁת. וַיְהִי רֹבֶה קַשָּׁת.

    And on the Scales and the Scorpion placed by his side, And on the ninth that was created in the form of a man of might, whose strength runs not dry, For he is the Archer, mighty of the bow.

  5. 5

    וְכֵן נִבְרָא גְּדִי וּדְלִי בְּכֹחֲךָ הַגָּדוֹל. וּלְבַדּוֹ הַמַּזָּל הָאַחֲרוֹן וַיְמַן יְיָ דָּג גָּדוֹל:

    And thus too by Thy great power are created the Goat and the Water-Bearer, While alone is the last constellation, "For the Lord did appoint a great Fish."

  6. 6

    וְאֵלֶּה הַמַּזָּלוֹת הַגְּבוֹהִים וְנִשָּׂאִים בְּמַעֲלוֹתָם. שְׁנֵי עָשָׂר לְאֻמּוֹתָם:

    And these are the constellations high and exalted in their degrees, "Twelve princes according to the nations."
