עה. ע"פ א"ב. חתום שלמה אבן גבירול

שַׁחַר קַמְתִּי לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי. וַאֲרַנֵּן לְךָ בֹּקֶר וְאוֹדִיעֲךָ חַטָּאתִי. תִּנָּתֶן לִי בָזֶה שָֹכָר לִפְעֻלָּתִי. נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

I have risen at dawn to thank You, God of my praise, I will sing to You in the morning and make known to You my sins; for this,¹My praise of You and my confession. grant me as a reward for my endeavor, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

לְפָנִים זֹאת בְּיִשְֹרָאֵל מַקְרִיבֵי הַקָּרְבָּן. אִם חַטָּאַי כַּשָּׁנִי כֻּלּוֹ הָפַךְ לָבָן. וַאֲדַדֶּה כָּל שְׁנוֹתַי וַאַאֲנִין עַל הַחֻרְבָּן, וְאֵין לִי לְבַד מִלָּתִי וְעוֹלָתִי תְפִלָּתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

In former days in Israel, when sacrifices were offered, though my sins were red as scarlet, they turned completely white.²Through the sin-offering. Therefore, sleep escapes my eyes, and I lament the destruction [of the Temple]; and I have nought but my words and my prayer is my burnt-offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

מִזְבֵּחַ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ וְקָדָשִׁים לִזְבִיחָה. וְהֵבִיא אִישׁ אֶת־זִבְחוֹ וְחַטָּאתוֹ נִמְחָה. אָפֵס מֶנִּי מְכַהֵן וְאֵין־זֶבַח וְאֵין מִנְחָה. תּוֹדָתִי זְבִחָתִי שִׂיחָתִי מִנְחָתִי. נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

When the Altar still existed, and sacred offerings were slaughtered. Each man brought his offering and his sin was eradicated; but now there is no Priest, no sacrifice, no meal offering; [therefore] let my confession be my sacrifice and my prayer be my meal offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

הֵן בִּהְיוֹת הָעֲבוֹדָה וְכֹהֲנִים עַל מִשְׁמֶרֶת. הֲלֹא חַטָּאת מְכַפֶּרֶת וְהָעוֹלָה מַכְשֶׁרֶת. וְאֵין חַטָּאת וְאֵין עוֹלָה וְלֹא חֵלֶב וְיוֹתֶרֶת. וְאֶשְׁפֹּךְ אֶת רִנָּתִי וְאַפִּיל תְּחִנָּתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

Behold, when there was a sacrificial service³In the Temple. and the Priests served their turn, the sin-offering atoned, and the burnt-offering exonerated; [but now] there is neither sin nor burnt-offering, no fat and no liver-lobe; [instead] I pour out my prayer and present my supplication, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

הֵן קֶדֶם בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ בְּקוּם זְרִיזִים בְּאַשְׁמֹרֶת. טְהוֹרִים נִצְּבוּ לְהָפִיס, חֲדָשִׁים לִקְטֹרֶת. וְאֵין לְבוֹנָה וְאֵין קְטֹרֶת וְנִשְׁאַרְתִּי שְׁחַרְחֹרֶת. בְּהִתְוַדּוֹת חַטָּאתִי תְּהִי כְקָרְבָּן תּוֹדָתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

Behold, in the Holy Temple of old, when the zealous priests rose early, the pure ones stood to draw lots,⁴This was done in order to assign the priests to the various services. but only new ones⁵A priest could only perform the incense offering once in his lifetime because it enriched the one performing it. offered the incense; but now there is no frankincense and no incense offering, and I am left blackened with sin; [therefore] when I confess my sins, let my confession be accepted as an offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

חֲזֵה קָדוֹשׁ כִּי־יָדִי כָּבְדָה עַל־אַנְחָתִי. וְאֵין מִי יַעֲמֹד בַּעֲדִי וְאֵין לִי בֵּית־מְנוּחָתִי. לְבַד בְּךָ אַזְכִּיר שִׁמְךָ מָעוֹז צוּר יְשׁוּעָתִי. הַעֲבֵר אֶת אַשְׁמָתִי וְעָנְתָה בִּי־צִדְקָתִי. נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

See [O God] my Holy One, that my hurt is greater than my groaning, and there is none to stand by me, and I have no House of Rest [the Temple]; only in You [I trust] and mention Your Name. Strong Rock of my deliverance; remove my guilt, and then my righteousness will answer for me, spare my life as my request and my people as my petition.

אֵל מֶֽלֶךְ. יוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רַחֲמִים. מִתְנַהֵג בַּחֲסִידוּת. מוֹחֵל עֲו‍ֹנוֹת עַמּוֹ. מַעֲבִיר רִאשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן. מַרְבֶּה מְחִילָה לְחַטָּאִים וּסְלִיחָה לְפוֹשְׁעִים. עוֹשֶׂה צְדָקוֹת עִם כָּל בָּשָׂר וָרֽוּחַ. לֹא כְרָעָתָם תִּגְמוֹל: אֵל הוֹרֵיתָ לָנוּ לוֹמַר שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה. וּזְכָר לָֽנוּ הַיּוֹם בְּרִית שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה. כְּמוֹ שֶׁהוֹדַֽעְתָּ לֶעָנָו מִקֶּֽדֶם. כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב וַיֵּרֶד יְהֹוָה בֶּֽעָנָן וַיִּתְיַצֵּב עִמּוֹ שָׁם וַיִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה:

Almighty! King! Who sits on the throne of mercy, governs with kindness forgives the iniquities of His people. He removes their sins one by one, increasing forgiveness to sinners, and pardon to transgressors. Acting righteously with all who are of flesh and spirit; not according to their wickedness does He repay them. Almighty! You instructed us to recite the thirteen Divine attributes; remember unto us this day the covenant of thirteen Divine attributes, as You made them known to the humble Moses of old, as it is written, “And Adonoy descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name, Adonoy.

קהל וחזן:

Congregation and Chazzan:

וַיַּֽעֲבֹר יְהֹוָה עַל פָּנָיו וַיִּקְרָא:

And Adonoy passed before him [Moses]; and proclaimed:

יְהֹוָה יְהֹוָה אֵל רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן אֶֽרֶךְ אַפַּֽיִם וְרַב חֶֽסֶד וֶֽאֱמֶת: נֹצֵר חֶֽסֶד לָאֲלָפִים נֹשֵׂא עָו‍ֹן וָפֶֽשַׁע וְחַטָּאָה וְנַקֵּה: וְסָלַחְתָּ לַעֲו‍ֹנֵֽנוּ וּלְחַטָּאתֵֽנוּ וּנְחַלְתָּֽנוּ:

Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, Merciful, Gracious, Slow to Anger, and Abundant in Kindness, and Truth. Keeper of kindness for thousands of generations, Endurer of iniquity, and transgression, and sin; and Acquitter of those who repent.” “And pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.”

סְלַח לָֽנוּ אָבִֽינוּ כִּי חָטָֽאנוּ. מְחַל לָֽנוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ כִּי פָשָֽׁעְנוּ: כִּי אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי טוֹב וְסַלָּח וְרַב חֶֽסֶד לְכָל קֹרְאֶֽיךָ:

Pardon us our Father, for we have sinned, forgive us our King, for we have transgressed. “For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.”

אַל תִּזְכָּר לָנוּ עֲו‍ֹנוֹת רִאשׁוֹנִים. מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹד: חַטֹּאת נְעוּרֵינוּ וְפְשָׁעֵינוּ אַל תִּזְכֹּר כְּחַסְדְּךָ זְכָר לָנוּ אַתָּה לְמַעַן טוּבְךָ יְהֹוָה: זְכֹר רַחֲמֶֽיךָ יְהֹוָה וַחֲסָדֶֽיךָ כִּי מֵעוֹלָם הֵֽמָּה: זָכְרֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה בִּרְצוֹן עַמֶּֽךָ פָּקְדֵֽנוּ בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ: זְכֹר עֲדָתְךָ קָנִֽיתָ קֶּֽדֶם גָּאַֽלְתָּ שֵֽׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ הַר צִיּוֹן זֶה שָׁכַנְתָּ בּוֹ: זְּכוֹר יְהֹוָה חִבַּת יְרוּשָׁלָֽםִ אַהֲבַת צִיּוֹן אַל תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶֽצַח: זְכֹר יְהֹוָה לִבְנֵי אֱדוֹם אֵת יוֹם יְרוּשָׁלָֽםִ הָאֹמְרִים עָֽרוּ עָֽרוּ עַד הַיְסוֹד בָּהּ: אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיּוֹן. כִּי עֵת לְחֶנְנָהּ כִּי בָא מוֹעֵד: זְכֹר לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבָדֶֽיךָ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּֽעְתָּ לָהֶם בָּךְ וַתְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵהֶם אַרְבֶּה אֶת זַרְעֲכֶם כְּכוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמָֽיִם. וְכָל הָאָֽרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אָמַֽרְתִּי אֶתֵּן לְזַרְעֲכֶם וְנָחֲלוּ לְעוֹלָם: זְכֹר לַעֲבָדֶֽיךָ לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיַעֲקֹב. אַל תֵּֽפֶן אֶל קְשִׁי הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאֶל רִשְׁעוֹ וְאֶל חַטָּאתוֹ:

Remember not the sins of our ancestors; let Your compassion come swiftly toward us, for we have been brought very low. The sins of our youth and our transgressions, remember not; with Your kindliness remember us for the sake of Your goodness, Adonoy. Remember Your mercies, Adonoy, and kindlinesses for they are from the beginning of the world. Remember us Adonoy with favor for Your people recall us with Your deliverance. Remember Your congregation which You have acquired of old, You have redeemed the tribe of Your inheritance, this mountain of Zion where You have dwelled. Remember, Adonoy, the affection of Jerusalem, the love of Zion, forget not until eternity. Remember, Adonoy, to the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem, [it was they] who said, “Raze it, raze it to its very foundations.” You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her, for the appointed time has come. Remember Abraham, Isaac, Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your very Self, and You said to them: “I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens; and all this land that I have promised, I will give to your descendants, and they will inherit it forever.” Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not regard the stubborness of this people, or their wickedness, or their sin.

אַל נָא תָשֵׁת עָלֵֽינוּ חַטָּאת אֲשֶׁר נוֹאַֽלְנוּ וַאֲשֶׁר חָטָֽאנוּ: חָטָֽאנוּ צוּרֵֽנוּ סְלַח לָֽנוּ יוֹצְרֵֽנוּ:

Do not, we beseech You place upon us this sin, wherein we have acted foolishly and sinned. We have sinned, our Rock; pardon us our Creator.
