לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה, פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה.
שָׁמוֹר וְזָכוֹר בְּדִבּוּר אֶחָד,
הִשְמִיעָֽנוּ אֵל הַמְּיֻחָד,
יְיָ אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד,
לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶֽרֶת וְלִתְהִלָּה.
Come by Beloved to greet the Bride!
Let us welcome the Presence of Shabbat!
Shamor and Zachor in one utterance the Unique God made us hear, Adonai is One and God's name is One,
for God's name, glory and praise.
Remember to keep the sabbath day holy. Six days shalt you labor, and do all your melachah; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the Eternal your God, on it you shalt not do any kind of melachah, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male or female servants, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; for in six days the Eternal made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Eternal blessed the sabbath day, and made it it holy.

Be careful to make the sabbath day holy, as the Eternal your God commanded you. Six days shalt you labor, and do all your melachah; but the seventh day is a sabbath for the Eternal your God, on it you shall not do any manner of melachah...
