מִי יָבִין סוֹדוֹתֶיךָ. בְּהַקִּיפְךָ עַל גַּלְגַּל הַשֵּׁנִי גַּלְגַּל הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וּבוֹ נֹגַהּ כִּגְבֶרֶת בֵּין חֲיָּלֶיהָ. וְכַכַּלָּה תַּעְדֶּה כֵלֶיהָ: Who shall understand Thy mysteries? For thou hast encompassed the second sphere with a third sphere, And therein a brightness (Venus) like a queen amid her hosts, And her garments adorned like a bride's,
וּבְעַשְׁתֵּי עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ תִּסֹּב גְּלִילֶיהָ. וְגוּפָהּ כְּחֵלֶק מִשִּׁבְעָה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים מִן הָאָרֶץ לְיוֹדְעֵי סוֹדָהּ וּמַשְׂכִּילֶיהָ: And in eleven months she fulfilleth her circuit, And her body to that of the earth is as one to thirty and seven, To those who know her secret and understand her.
וְהִיא מְחַדֶּשֶׁת בָּעוֹלָם בִּרְצוֹן בּוֹרְאָהּ. And she reneweth in the world, by the will of her Creator,
הַשְׁקֵט וְשַׁלְוָה וְדִיצָה וְחֶדְוָה: Peace and prosperity, dancing and delight,
וְשִׁירוֹת וּרְנָנִים. וּמִצְהֲלוֹת חֻפּוֹת חֲתָנִים. And songs and shouts of joy, And the love-cries of bride and bridegroom on their canopies.
וְהִיא מְקַשֶּׁרֶת פְּרִי תְנוּבוֹת וּשְׁאָר הַצְּמָחִים. מִמֶּגֶד תְּבוּאוֹת שָׁמֶשׁ. וּמִמֶּגֶד גֶּרֶשׁ יְרָחִים: And it is she conspireth the ripening of fruit And other vegetation, "From the precious things of the fruits of the sun, And from the precious things of the yield of the moons."
