Peace to all those who are full of evil intent
and an end to taking revenge
and an end to speeches about punishment and scolding.
The matchless cruelties defy description,
they exceed anything that may be learned,
and the martyrs are numerous.
Henceforth, o God,
don't weigh their sufferings on the scales
of your justice,
Don't ask for cruel reckoning,
but weigh it in a different way:
Let the hangmen,
traitors and spies,
and all evil peoples benefit from their crime,
and forgive them
for the sake of courage and the sacrifice of the others.
All good shall be reckoned, but evil spilt and lost.
And in the remembrance of our enemies
we shall not live as their victims,
not as their nightmares and terrible monsters,
but rather come to their rescue,
that they abstain from their delusion.
Only this will be claimed from them,
and that we, when all this will be over,
may live as humans among humans,
and that peace may again reign on this poor earth
for all with good in their heart
and that this peace shall extend to the lost ones, too
