It is incumbent upon us to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe greatness to the primeval Creator · | alyenu leshabe-ach la-adon hakol latet gdula leyotzer bereshit · | עָלֵינוּ לְשַׁבֵּחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל לָתֵת גְּדֻלָּה לְיוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית · | Play |
because God has not made us like the families of the world or placed us like the nations of the earth · | shelo asanu kegoyey ha-aratzot velo samanu kemishpechot ha-adama · | שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂנוּ כְּגוֹיֵי הָאֲרָצוֹת וְלֹא שָׂמָנוּ כְּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲדָמָה · | Play |
for He has not assigned our portion like theirs nor our lot like all their multitudes | shelo sam chelkenu kahem vegoralenu kechol hamonam · | שֶׁלֹּא שָׂם חֶלְקֵנוּ כָּהֶם וְגוֹרָלֵנוּ כְּכָל הֲמוֹנָם · | Play |
