עַל הַנִּסִּים For the miracles, וְעַל הַפֻּרְקָן for the redemption, וְעַל הַגְּבוּרוֹת for the mighty deeds, וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעוֹת and saving acts, וְעַל הַמִּלְחָמוֹת שֶׁעָשִׂיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה. wrought by thee, as well as for the wars which thou didst wage for our fathers in days of old, at this season. בִּימֵי מָרְדְּכַי וְאֶסְתֵּר בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה כְּשֶׁעָמַד עֲלֵיהֶם In the days of Mordecai and Esther, in Shushan the capital, הָמָן הָרָשָׁע בִּקֵּשׁ לְהַשְׁמִיד לַהֲרוֹג וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת־כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִים when the wicked Haman rose up against them, and sought to destroy, to slay and make to perish all the Jews מִנַּעַר וְעַד זָקֵן טַף וְנָשִׁים both young and old, little children and women, בְּיוֹם אֶחָד בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה עָשָׂר לְחֹדֶשׁ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר הוּא חֹדֶשׁ אֲדָר on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, וּשְׁלָלָם לָבוֹז וְאַתָּה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ and to take the spoil of them for a prey, הָרַבִּים הֵפַרְתָּ אֶת עֲצָתוֹ וְקִלְקַלְתָּ אֶת מַחֲשַׁבְתּוֹ then didst thou in thine abundant mercy bring his counsel to nought, didst frustrate his design, וַהֲשֵׁבוֹתָ־לוֹ גְמוּלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ and return his recompense upon his own head; וְתָלוּ אוֹתוֹ וְאֶת בָּנָיו עַל הָעֵץ and they hanged him and his sons upon the gallows. וְעָשִׂיתָ עִמָּהֶם נִסִּים וְנִפְלָאוֹת וְנוֹדֶה לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל סֶלָה. For all these things thy name, O our King, shall be continually blessed and exalted for ever and ever.
