אֱלֹהַי בּֽשְׁתִּי וְנִכְלַֽמְתִּי

“My God, I am [so] ashamed, and disgraced,

לְהָרִים אֱלֹהַי פָּנַי אֵלֶֽיךָ

that I cannot lift my face to You, my God,

כִּי עֲוֹנוֹתֵֽינוּ רָֽבוּ לְמַעְלָה רֹאשׁ

and our guilt has grown to the heavens.”

עַל יְדֵי יִרְמְיָה חוֹזָךְ.

by the hand of Jeremiah, Your seer

כָּאָמוּר

as it is said,

בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וּבָעֵת הַהִיא

“In those days and at that time,

נְאֻם יְהֹוָה

says Adonoy,

יְבֻקַּשׁ אֶת עֲו‍ֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל

the iniquity of Israel will be sought,

וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ

and there will be none [found],

וְאֶת חַטֹּאת יְהוּדָה

and the sins of Judah [will be sought]

וְלֹא תִמְּצָאֶֽינָה.

but they shall not be found;

כִּי אֶסְלַח

for I will pardon

לַאֲשֶׁר אַשְׁאִיר:

those whom I leave as a remnant.”

Your people and Your inheritance

רְעֵבֵי טוּבְךָ

hunger for Your goodness,

Let them realize and know

כִּי לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ

that unto Adonoy, our God,

הָרַחֲמִים וְהַסְּלִיחוֹת:

belongs compassion and pardon.
