OD EVNECH


 

Od evnech venivnet
Ir Tziyon letif'eret.
Od yishama bechutzotayich
Zemer chatanim.

Od yasisu bach masos
Hamitavlim alayich,
Lo yosif lavo bach od
Arel vetamei.

Lach nishba ani bi'y'mini,
Otach entzor le’ad bezichroni.
Kach shanim alpayim
Lach shar bim'lo g'roni.

Od yishama bein chomotayich
Shir shehayu halevi'im
Bamikdash al hadochan
Yom yom kach sharim.

“LeDavid”, “Livnei Korach”,
U”Mizmor le’Assaf”.
“El nekamot”, “Al hagittit”,
“Malach gei’ut laveish”.

Lach nishba ani bi'y'mini…

I WILL YET BUILD YOU


I will yet build you and thus shall be built
A city of Zion in splendour.
The singing of bridegrooms
Will again be heard within your courtyards.

People will again rejoice with you -
All those who mourn for you;
No longer will there come within you
The uncircumcised and impure.

I swear to you by my right hand,
That I will guard you in my memory for eternity.
Thus for two millennia
Have I sung to you in full voice.

Within your walls will again resound
The song that once
The Levites sang each day,
On the Temple podium.

"To David", "To the sons of Korach",
And "A hymn to Assaf".
"Lord of Vengeance", "Upon the Gittit",
"He reigns, dressed in majesty".

I swear to you by my right hand…


עוֹד אֶבְנֵךְ וְנִבְנֵית...

עוֹד אֶבְנֵךְ וְנִבְנֵית עיר ציון לתפארת,
עוֹד ישמע בחוצותיך זמר חתנים,
עוֹד ישִׂישׂוּ בך מָשׂוֹשׂ הַמִּתְאַבְּלִים עליך,
לא יוסיף לבוא בך עוד ערל וטמא.

לך נשבע אני בימיני,
אותך אנצור לעד בזכרוני.
כך שנים אלפיים,
לך שר במלוא גרוני.

עוֹד ישמע בין חומותיך שיר שהיו הלויים
במקדש על הדוכן,יום יום כך שרים,
"לדוד", "לבני קורח" ו"מזמור לאסף".
"קל נקמות", "על הגיתית", "מלך גאות לבש"

לך נשבע אני בימיני
