Ever since I started learning Hebrew a few months ago, one of my goals was always to translate this letter (I ❤️ Ben-Gurion) and found his handwriting to be a challenge!

My attempt:

לשמואל דוון, רוייכ

נהלל

הקרות, ט אדר תסייו (1.3.55)

ידיד וקר -

אפשר להגיד בוודאות שמלחמה עתמדה לגוא ואולו מכרעת ואפשר להדיד בלו פוקפוקוך ותריך-שאנו עומדוך בפנו מערכה מדונות שה חמורה-ואלו מכרעת הסענה הוא שעדיני קודך כל להיות מוכנוך במלוא תחמושת ולהיות דרוכום לקרב. כי רק נכונות כאתד -- צבאית ומדינית -- נוכל לעמוד במערכה.

שלך בידידות

ד.בן = גוריון

To Shmuel Dovan, (Royich?) Nahalal Hakraot, 9 Adar Tsaviyu (1.3.55)

Dear friend,

It is possible to say with certainty that war is imminent and decisive, and we can say with certainty that we are facing a very serious battle, and the decisive factor is that we must all be fully prepared with ammunition and be ready for battle. Because only with a strong will -- both military and political -- can we withstand the battle.

Yours in friendship,

D. Ben-Gurion

------------------------
This is the source with the original document. Note, the translation in this source says

Ben-Gurion wrote Shmuel Dayan (1891-1968), a member of the Knesset, or Israeli legislature, in part: "…It can be said with certainty that war, possibly a decisive one, is imminent. It can also be said without any doubt that we are facing a difficult and serious political struggle. The conclusion therefore is that we should [be] prepared with amply ammunition and should be ready for war. Because only through readiness--military and political--will we be able to withstand this battle…"

if it's helpful to the native speakers here.

My questions
- is my translation okay? where are some of my errors?
- the statement ידיד וקר I believe I got wrong?
- likewise for this statement הקרות, ט אדר תסייו which I believe that I got wrong?

Thank you all again! ❤️

I'm been having an issue translating this. My attempts:

الشهدان لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ وأن مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ

The two witnesses: There is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Or,

اشهدان اله الا الله والا شيال والشلالا محمد عنان ورسو

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

I was unsure which is more accurate here to the Shahada in the mosaic. Also, in photo 2, i attempted to label the diacritics, where

- sukun (cyan)

- shaddah (red)

- tanwiin al-fatth or tanwiin al-kasar (yellow)

- fathah or kasrah (purple)

- dhfur (blue)

- dammah orange)

Any hints on where I went wrong, or corrections?

I'm happy they're back home ❤️

My attempt at translating these signs:

תחזירו אותם אלינו

Bring them back to us.

Note: I was unsure of the context of thie drawing of Israel + a heart = 73 days. I looked up this ynet article, but it doesn't appear to specify the 73 number? I saw he was 493 days in captivity, and the State of Israel was older tha 73 years old, so I was unsure?

אני כאן אני לא מקזז יקר

I'm here, I'm not [?], dear.

Note: I was unsure מקזז meant here, in this context?

אני אוהבת אתכם, אזרח מדינת ישראל, והמשפחה שלי!

I love you, citizens of the State of Israel, and my family!

עכשיו הכל בסדר ! תודה לעם ישראל היקר ולכל החיילים ופח״לות! באל המבוחר

Now everything is fine! Thank you to the dear people of Israel and to all the soldiers and volunteers! In the chosen God

Note: I was confused by the double yud in החיילים for some reason, thinking it was ״ by the writing. However, I believe this is correct?

اتحدي حالك

Challenge yourself.

Note:

I was a little confused by حالك here? Is ك added to حال to imply "challenge your status/self"?

Photo 2

سلم النجاح بیستنی منك خطوة

The ladder of success is waiting (for you?) to take one step at a time.

Photo 3

احلمي زي رفيقة

Dream like a friend.

Note:

الصديقة، المرافقة، اللطيفة، الرقيقة = رفيقة?

Does رفيقة also mean "dear friend?"

Photo 4

واجهي مخاوفك

Face your fears.

Note:

Does يخاف and مخاوف mean "fear" and "fears"? And, adding ك to مخاوف creates "your fears"?

أصنعي مستقبلك

Create your future.

Note: adding لك "for you" to مستقب creates "your future"?
