V'AHAVTA

וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יי אְֶלֹהֶֽיךָ בְּכָל-לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכָל-מְאֹדֶֽךָ: וְהָיוּ הַדְּבַרִים הָאֵלֶּה אְַשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם עַל-לְבָבֶֽךָ: וְשִׁנַּנְתָּם לְבָבֶֽיךָ וְדִבַּרְתָּ בָּם בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ בּבֵיתֶֽךָ וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ בַדֶּֽרֶךְ וּבְשָׁכְבְּךָ וּבְקוּמֶֽךָ: וּקְשַׁרְתָּם לְאוֹת עַל-יָדֶֽךָ וְהָיוּ לְטֹטָפֹת בֵּין עֵינֶיךָ: וּכְתַבְתָּם עַל-מְזֻזוֹת בֵּיתֶֽךָ וּבִשְׁעָרֶֽךָ

 

V'ahavta et Adonai elohekha b’khol l’vav’kha u-v’khol nafsh’kha u-v’khol m’odekha. V’hayu ha-d’varim ha-eileh asher anokhi m’tzav’kha ha-yom al l’vavekha. V'shinantam l’vanekha v’dibarta bam, b’shivt’kha b’veitekha u-v’lekht’kha va-derekh u-v'shokhb’kha u-v’kumekha. U-k’shartam l’ot al yadekha v’hayu l’totafot bein einekha. U-kh’tavtam al m’zuzot beitekha u-visharekha. 

 

 

You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all that is yours. These words that I command you this day shall be taken to heart. Teach them again and again to your children; speak of them when you sit in your home,  when you walk on your way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. Bind them as a sign upon your hand and as a symbol above your eyes; Inscribe them upon the doorposts of your home and on your gates.

No one compares to our God. No one compares to our Lord.
No one compares to our sovereign. No one compares to our deliverer.
 
Who compares to our God? Who compares to our Lord?
Who compares to our sovereign? Who compares to our deliverer?
 
Let us thank our God. Let us thank our Lord.
Let us thank our sovereign. Let us thank our deliverer.
 
Blessed is our God. Blessed is our Lord.
Blessed is our sovereign. Blessed is our deliverer.
 
You are our God. You are our Lord.
You are our sovereign. You are our deliverer.
 
You are the one to whom our ancestors
Offered fragrant incense.

וְשָׁמְרוּ בְנֵי יִשׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַשַּׁבָּת

לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת- הַשַּׁבָּת לְדֹרֹתָם בְּרִית עוֹלָם

בֵּינִי וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אוֹת הִיא לְעוֹלָם

כִּי שֵֽׁשֶׁת יָמִים עָשָׂה יי אֶת-הַשָּׁמַֽיִם וְאֶת-הָאָֽרֶץ

וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי שָׁבַת וַיִּנָּפַשׁ

V’sham’ru v’nei yisrael et ha-shabbat

 

La-asot et ha-shabbat l’dorotam b’rit olam

Beini u-vein b’nei yisrael ot hi l’olam

Ki sheishet yamim asah Adonai et ha-shamayim v’et ha-aretz

U-vayom ha-sh’vi-i shavat vayinafash

 

 
The people Israel shall observe Shabbat, 
maintaining it as an everlasting covenant throughout all generations.
It is a sign between Me and the people Israel for all time,
That in six days Adonai made the heavens and the earth,
And on the seventh day, ceased from work and rested.
