"Ostatnia Niedziela", Mieczysław Fogg (1936)

What a great wonder that we should be able to
     draw so near to God in prayer
How many walls there are between God and human beings!
Even though God fills all the world,
     God is so very hidden!
Yet a single word of prayer can topple all the walls
      and bring you close to God.

וּלְכֹהֵ֥ן מִדְיָ֖ן שֶׁ֣בַע בָּנ֑וֹת וַתָּבֹ֣אנָה וַתִּדְלֶ֗נָה וַתְּמַלֶּ֙אנָה֙ אֶת־הָ֣רְהָטִ֔ים לְהַשְׁק֖וֹת צֹ֥אן אֲבִיהֶֽן

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came to draw water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock; 

וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ הָרֹעִ֖ים וַיְגָרְשׁ֑וּם וַיָּ֤קָם מֹשֶׁה֙ וַיּ֣וֹשִׁעָ֔ן וַיַּ֖שְׁקְ אֶת־צֹאנָֽם

but shepherds came and drove them off. Moses rose to their defense, and he watered their flock. 

וַתָּבֹ֕אנָה אֶל־רְעוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מַדּ֛וּעַ מִהַרְתֶּ֥ן בֹּ֖א הַיּֽוֹם

When they returned to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come back so soon today?” 

וַתֹּאמַ֕רְןָ אִ֣ישׁ מִצְרִ֔י הִצִּילָ֖נוּ מִיַּ֣ד הָרֹעִ֑ים וְגַם־דָּלֹ֤ה דָלָה֙ לָ֔נוּ וַיַּ֖שְׁקְ אֶת־הַצֹּֽאן

They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds; he even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
