1 ي ا راعِيَ إسْرائِيلَ، يا مَنْ تَقُودُ شَعبَ يُوسُفَ كَالخِرافِ، اسْمَعْنِي! اظهَرْ يا مَنْ تَجلِسُ عَلَى مَلائِكَةِ الكارُوبِيْمِ.

Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

2 أ َيْقِظْ قُوَّتَكَ أمامَ شَعبِكَ أفْرايِمَ وَبَنْيامِيْنَ وَمَنَسَّى، وَاخرُجْ أمامَنا وَخَلِّصْنا وَانْصُرْنا.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power And come to save us!

3 ا ستَجِبْ لَنا يا اللهُ، وَاعطِفْ عَلَينا، وَأنقِذنا.

O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

4 أ يُّها الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، حَتَّى مَتَى سَتَظَلُّ غاضِباً، فَلا تَستَمِعُ إلَى صَلَواتِ شَعبِكَ؟

O Lord God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?

5 أ طعَمتَهُمْ خُبزَ الدُّمُوعِ، وَجَعَلتَهُمْ يَشرَبُونَ دُمُوعاً كَثِيرَةً.

You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.

6 ج َعَلْتَنا نَبدُو كَثِيرِي الخِصامِ أمامَ جِيرانِنا، وَأعداؤُنا يَسْخَرُونَ بِنا.

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 ا ستَجِبْ لَنا أيُّها الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، اعْطِفْ عَلَينا فَنَخلُصَ.

O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

8 أ خرَجتَ الكَرمَةَ مِنْ مِصرَ. اقْتَلَعْتَ الغُرَباءَ وَزَرَعْتَها.

You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.

9 ن َزَعْتَ الأعشابَ الضّارَّةَ مِنْ أجلِها، أطلَقْتَ جُذُورَها فَمَلأتِ الكَرمَةُ الأرْضَ.

You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

10 غ َطَّتِ الجِبالَ، أوراقُها ظَلَّلَتْ حَتَّى أرْزَ اللهِ فِي لُبنانَ

The mountains were covered with its shadow, And the cedars of God with its boughs.

11 م َدَّتِ الكَرمَةُ غُصُونَها إلَى البَحرِ غَرباً، وَإلَى نَهرِ الفُراتِ شَرقاً.

It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the River.

12 ف َلِماذا هَدَمْتَ سُورَ الحِمايَةِ حَولَ الكَرمِ، لِيَلْتَقِطَ مِنْهُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِهِ؟

Why have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit ?

13 ا لخَنازِيرُ البَرِّيَةُ تَدُوسُهُ، وَالوُحُوشُ الكاسِرَةُ تَلتَهِمُهُ.

A boar from the forest eats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 أ يُّها الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، عُدْ! تَطَلَّعْ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَانظُرْ ما حَلَّ بِكَرْمِكَ. تَعالَ وَارْعَ تِلْكَ الكَرْمَةَ!

O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

15 ا نظُرْ إلَى ما زَرَعْتَهُ بِيَمِينِكَ، وَإلَى الزَّرْعِ الغَضِّ الَّذِي أقَمْتَهُ.

Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted, And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

16 ك َالقُمامَةِ احتَرَقَتِ الكَرمَةُ. هَلَكَ الشَّعبُ حِينَ انتَهَرْتَهُمْ.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

17 م ُدَّ يَدَكَ إلَى مَنْ أحْبَبْتَهُ، إلَى الإنْسانِ الَّذِي شَدَّدْتَهُ لَكَ.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

18 ع ِندَئِذٍ لَنْ نَرتَدَّ عَنكَ سَتُحيِينا فَنَدْعُوَ باسْمِكَ وَنَعْبُدُكَ.

Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

19 أ يُّها الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، أعِدْنا إلَيْكَ. اعْطِفْ عَلَينا فَنَخلُصَ.

O Lord God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
