Yigdal Elohim chai ve’yishtabach,
nimtza v’ein et el metsiuto. Echad V’ein yachid keyichudo, ne’elam v’gam ein sof l’achduto. Ein lo d’mut haguf v’eino guf, lo na’aroch eilav kedushato. Kadmon l’chol davar asher nivra, rishon v’ein reishit l’reishito. Hino adon olam l’chol notsar, yoreh g’dulato umalchuto. Shefa n’vuato netano, el anshei s’gulato v’tif’arto. Lo kam b’Yisrael k’Moshe od navi umabeet et temunato. Torat emet natan le'amo el, al yad neveeo ne'eman beito. Lo yachalif ha'el ve'lo yamir dato, le'olamim, lezulato. Tsofeh v’yodea setareinu, mabeet l’sof davar B'kadmato. Gomel l’ish chesed k’mif’alo, notel l’rasha ra kerish’ato. Yishlach l’ketz yamin meshicheinu, lifdot m’chakei ketz yeshuato. Metim y’chayeh El b’rov chasdo, baruch adei ad shem t’hilato. [Eleh sh'losh esreh l'ikarim, hem hen y'sod dat El v'emunato. Torat Moshe emet unvuato, baruch adei ad shem t'hilato.] | יִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים חַי וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח, נִמְצָא, וְאֵין עֵת אֶל מְצִיאוּתוֹ:
אֶחָד וְאֵין יָחִיד כְּיִחוּדוֹ, נֶעְלָם, וְגַם אֵין סוֹף לְאַחְדּוּתוֹ: אֵין לוֹ דְמוּת הַגּוּף וְאֵינוֹ גּוּף, לֹא נַעֲרוֹךְ אֵלָיו קְדֻשָּׁתוֹ: קַדְמוֹן לְכָל דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר נִבְרָא, רִאשׁוֹן וְאֵין רֵאשִׁית לְרֵאשִׁיתוֹ: הִנּוֹ אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם, לְכָל נוֹצָר. יוֹרֶה גְדֻלָּתוֹ וּמַלְכוּתוֹ: שֶׁפַע נְבוּאָתוֹ נְתָנוֹ, אֶל אַנְשֵׁי סְגוּלָּתוֹ וְתִפְאַרְתּוֹ: לֹא קָם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כְּמֹשֶה עוֹד נָבִיא, וּמַבִּיט אֶת תְּמוּנָתוֹ: תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת נָתַן לְעַמּוֹ, אֵל, עַל יַד נְבִיאוֹ נֶאֱמַן בֵּיתוֹ: לֹא יַחֲלִיף הָאֵל וְלֹא יָמִיר דָּתוֹ. לְעוֹלָמִים, לְזוּלָתוֹ: צוֹפֶה וְיוֹדֵֽעַ סְתָרֵינוּ, מַבִּיט לְסוֹף דָּבָר בְּקַדְמָתוֹ: גּוֹמֵל לְאִישׁ חֶֽסֶד כְּמִפְעָלוֹ, נוֹתֵן לְרָשָׁע רָע כְּרִשְׁעָתוֹ: יִשְׁלַח לְקֵץ יָמִין מְשִׁיחֵֽנוּ, לִפְדּוֹת מְחַכֵּי קֵץ יְשׁוּעָתוֹ: מֵתִים יְחֲיֶּה אֵל בְּרוֹב חַסְדּוֹ, בָּרוּךְ עֲדֵי עַד שֵׁם תְּהִלָּתוֹ: [אלה שלוש עשרה לעקרים הן הם יסוד דת אל ואמונתו. תורת משה אמת ונבואתו, ברוך עדי עד שם תהלתו.] |
Translation:May the living God become greater and be praised, He exists yet there is no time associated with His existence.
He is one and there is no other as one as He is, His oneness is not comprehensible and there is no end to His oneness. He has no form of body nor any body, we cannot compare anything to His holiness. He preceded everything He created, He was first and there was nothing before Him. Here is the master of the world to all His creation, He instructs His creation regarding His greatness and His kingdom. An abundance of prophecy He has given to His chosen people and those who glorify Him. There has not arisen in Israel anyone like Moses, a prophet who viewed an image of the divine. The true Torah He gave to His nation - God, through His prophet, the loyal one of His house. God will not change or reverse His belief, until the end of the world for eternity. He examines and knows our hidden things, He sees the end of matters at the beginning. He causes a man kindness according to his works, He gives a wicked man wickedness according to his wickedness. He will send at the end of days our messiah, to redeem those waiting for the end of his salvation. God will give life to the dead in His great kindness, blessed for eternity is His praised name. [These are the thirteen fundamental beliefs, they are the foundation of the religion of God and His faithful. The teaching of Moses and his prophesy is true, blessed for eternity is His name.] | |
Information:Although it is found in the beginning of the shacharit service in the siddur, Yigdal is often sung at the conclusion of the Ma'ariv service on Shabbat and Chagim. The lines in brackets are added in Sefardi communities.
