אָחוֹת קְטַנָּה, תְּפִלּוֹתֶֽיהָ עוֹרְכָה וְעוֹנָה תְּהִלּוֹתֶֽיהָ אֵל נָא רְפָא נָא לְמַחֲלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
אָחוֹת קְטַנָּה Little Sister – she prepares her prayers, and declaims her praise for You. God, please heal her maladies. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
בְּנֹֽעַם מִלִּים לְךָ תִּקְרָאֶה וְשִׁיר וְהִלּוּלִים, כִּי לְךָ נָאֶה עַל מָה תַּעְלִים עֵינְךָ, וְתִרְאֶה זָרִים אוֹכְלִים נַחֲלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
She calls upon You with pleasant words, in song and festive joy, as befits You. Why do You turn a blind eye when You see strangers consuming the land of her inheritance? Bring an end to the year and its curses.
רְעֵה אֶת צֹאנְךָ אֲרָיוֹת זָרוּ וּשְׁפֹךְ חֲרוֹנְךָ בְּאוֹמְרִים עָֽרוּ וְכַנַּת יְמִינְךָ פָּרְצוּ וְאָרוּ לֹא הִשְׁאִירוּ עוֹלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
Tend to Your flock that the lions scattered round, and pour out Your wrath upon those who cry “Raze it to the ground!” They tore at the stem Your right hand planted, pulled it out, and left her not a single fruit. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
הָקֵם מִשִּׁפְלוּת לְרֹאשׁ מַמְלֶֽכֶת כִּי בְּבוֹר גָּלוּת נַפְשָׁהּ נִתֶּֽכֶת וּכְרֻם זֻלּוּת לִבָּהּ שׁוֹפֶֽכֶת בְּדַלֵּי דַלּוּת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
Raise her from subjugation to the highest sovereignty, for in the pit of exile her soul melts away. And as vileness is exalted she pours out her heart, making her home among the poorest of the poor. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
מָתַי תַּעֲלֶה בִּתְּךָ מִבּוֹר מִבֵּית כֶּֽלֶא עֻלָּהּ תִּשְׁבֹּר וְהַפְלֵא פֶֽלֶא בְּצֵאתְךָ כְּגִבּוֹר לְהָתֵם וְכַלֵּה מְכַלּוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
When will You raise Your daughter from the pit, and shatter the yoke of the prison she is in? Working wonders as You ride forth like a hero to quash and bring an end to those who destroy her. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
חֵילָהּ קָבְעוּ הַגּוֹי כֻּלּוֹ וְטוּבָהּ שָׂבְעוּ, וּבָזְזוּ אִישׁ לוֹ וְלִבָּהּ קָרְעוּ, וּבְכָל זֹאת, לֹא מִמְּךָ נָעוּ מַעְגְּלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
All her wealth has been taken by the nations, and they gorged themselves and each plundered her bounty. And though they tore her heart, nevertheless her steps did not stray from Your path. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
זְמִירָהּ שָׁבַת, וְחֶשְׁקָהּ תַּגְבִּיר לַחְפֹּץ קִרְבַת דּוֹדָהּ, וְתַעֲבִיר מִלֵּב דַּאֲבַת נַפְשָׁהּ וְתָסִיר לְבַקֵּשׁ אַהֲבַת כְּלוּלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
Her song has ceased; please, increase her desire to yearn the proximity of her Beloved, as You remove all suffering from her heart and turn again to seek out the love of her bridal days. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
נְחֶֽהָ בְנַֽחַת לִנְוֵה רִבְצָהּ רַב נִזְנַֽחַת מִדּוֹד חֶפְצָהּ וְהִוא כְפֹרַֽחַת עָלְתָה נִצָּהּ לֹא הִבְשִֽׁילוּ אַשְׁכְּלוֹתֶֽיהָ. תִּכְלֶה שָׁנָה וְקִלְלוֹתֶֽיהָ.
Guide her gently to a pasture where she might rest; too long is she neglected by her yearned-for Beloved. She is like a budding blossom, her shoots blooming, though her fruit has not ripened yet in its clusters. Bring an end to the year and its curses.
חִזְקוּ וְגִֽילוּ כִּי שֹׁד גָּמַר לְצוּר הוֹחִֽילוּ, בְּרִיתוֹ שָׁמַר לָכֶם, וְתַעֲלוּ לְצִיּוֹן, וְאָמַר סֹֽלּוּ סֹֽלּוּ מְסִלּוֹתֶֽיהָ. תָּחֵל שָׁנָה וּבִרְכוֹתֶֽיהָ.
Take strength and rejoice, for the plundering has ended. Raise your hopes to your Rock for He has safeguarded His covenant with you; and go up to Zion where it shall be declared: “Pave her path, pave her path anew!” Begin the year and its blessings.
