וְתֵיתֵי לְוַת כַּהֲנָא דִי יֶהֱוֵי מְמַנָא כהֵן רַב בְּיוֹמַיָא הָאִינוּן וְתֵמְרוּן לֵיהּ אוֹדִינָן וְשַׁבְּחִינָן יוֹמָא הָדֵין קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָא אֲרוּם עָלֵינָן לְאַרְעָא דְקַיֵים מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ לְאַבְהָתָן לְמִתַּן לָן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And thou shalt come to the priest who will be appointed the chief priest in those days, and say to him: We give glory and thanks this day before the Lord thy God, that we have come into the land which the Word of the Lord did covenant unto our fathers to give us.

אֲרוּם תְּשַׁלְמוּן לְמַעַשְרָא יַת כָּל מַעֲשֵר עֲלַלְתָּךְ בְּשַׁתָּא תְלִיתָיָא דְהִיא שְׁנַת מַעַשַרְתָּא דְמִסְכֵּינַיָא וְתִיתְּנוּן מַעֲשְרָא קֳדָמַיָיא לְלֵיוָאֵי מַעֲשַר מִסְכֵּינַיָא לְגִיוֹרֵי לְיַתְמָא וּלְאַרְמַלְתָּא וְיֵיכְלוּן בְּקִירְוֵיכוֹן וְיִשְבְּעוּן:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

When you finish tything all the tenths of your produce in the third year, which is the year of the tythe for the poor, you shall give the first tenth to the Levites, and the poor's tenth to the stranger, the orphan, and widow, that they may eat in your cities, and be satisfied.

לָא אַכְלִינָן בְּאֶבְלוּ מִנֵיהּ וְלָא אַפְרַשְׁנָן מִנֵיהּ בְּסוֹאֲבָא וְלָא יְהָבִינָן מִינֵיהּ תַּכְרִיכִין לִטְמֵי נְפָשׁ דְמִשְׁתְּמַעֲנָן בְּקַל מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָן עֲבַדְנָן כְּכָל מַה דִי אִתְפַּקֵד עֲלָנָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

We have not eaten thereof in (our) mourning, nor separated therefrom for the unclean, nor given of it for the defiled soul; for we have obeyed the voice of the Word of the Lord our God; we have done according to all that Thou hast commanded us.

אַדֵיק בְּבָעוּ מִמְדוֹר בֵּית שְׁכִינַת יְקָרָךְ וְקוּדְשָׁךְ מִן שְׁמַיָא וּבְרִיךְ יַת עַמָךְ יַת יִשְרָאֵל וְיַת אַרְעָא דִיהָבִית לָן הֵיךְ מַה דְקַיֵימַת לְאַבְהָתָן אַרְעָא דְעַבְדָא פֵּירִין טָבִין נְקִיָין כַּחֲלָבָא וַחֲלַיַין וּטְעִימַן כְּדוּבְשָׁא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

Look down, we beseech Thee, from the heavens, the habitation of Thy glory and Thy holiness, and bless Thy people Israel, and the land which Thou hast given us, as Thou didst swear unto our fathers (to give us a land) producing good fruits, pure as milk, sweet and delicious as honey.

יַת מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ אַמְלִיכְתּוּן עֲלֵיכוֹן יוֹמָא דֵין לְמֶהֱוֵי לְכוֹן לֶאֱלָהָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

You have chosen the Word of the Lord to be King over you this day, that He may be your God.

וּמֵימְרָא דַיְיָ אַמְלָךְ עֲלֵיכוֹן לִשְׁמֵיהּ לְעַם חֲבִיבַיָא הֵיךְ סְגוּלָה הֵיךְ מַה דִי מַלֵיל לְכוֹן וּלְמִיטַר כָּל פִּיקוּדוֹי:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

But the Word of the Lord becometh the King over you for His Name's sake, as over a people beloved as a treasure, as He hath spoken to you, that you may obey all His commandments.
