Rough translation:

Son of man, why do you slumber? Come and present words of petition.
Pour out conversation, seek forgiveness, from the Lord of lords.
Wash and purify yourself, do not tarry, for the days will soon pass
And quickly run for help, before the One who dwells on high.
And from sin and evil flee, and fear those who may ensnare you.
Please listen to those who know Your name, Israel, your faithful.
For thine, O God, is the justice, and ours is shame of face.

Stand like a man, be valiant to confess your sins.
Seek the Lord God, with a bowed head, to atone for transgressions
Since forever, wonders will not cease from before our eyes-
And any word which may be uttered, before Him will be read
The Merciful one will have mercy, as a father has mercy on his children.
For thine, O God, is the justice, and ours is shame of face.
