Hatikvah

Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה‬, Hatiq'vah, lit. The Hope) is the naitional anthem o Israel. The anthem wis written bi Naphtali Herz Imber, a secular Galician Jew frae Zolochiv (today in Lviv Oblast), who moved tae the Land o Israel in the early 1880s.

The anthem's theme revolves aroond the nearly 2000-year-auld hope o the Jewish fowk tae be a free an sovereign fowk in the Land o Israel, a naitional dream that wad eventually be realized wi the foondin o the modren State o Israel in 1948.

In Laitin letters	Scots Version
Kol ‘od balleivav penimah	Sae lang as in the hert, 'ithin,
Nefesh yehudi homiyah,	A Jewish saul still glaggers,
Ul(e)fa’atei mizrach kadimah,	An forrit, tae the droddums o the east,
‘Ayin letziyon tzofiyah;	A ee still gaups forrit Israel;

‘Od lo avdah tikvateinu,	Oor howp is nocht yet lost,
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim,	The howp o twa thoosand towmonds,
Lihyot ‘am chofshi be’artzeinu,	Tae be a lowse fowk in oor kintra,
Eretz-tziyon (v)'Y(e)rushalayim.	The kinta o Israel an Jerusalem.
