Likutei Moharan 49:13/ליקוטי מוהר"ן מ״ט:י״ג
איָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר לָרוּץ אֹרַח וְכוּ' – כִּי צָרִיךְ הִתְגַּבְּרוּת גָּדוֹל וְכוּ' לָרוּץ אֹרַח הַזֶּה, שֶׁהָיוּ יְכוֹלִים לֵילֵךְ בִּזְמַן שֶׁהָיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל נְזוּפִים, וְעַכְשָׁו רָצִים בִּמְהִירוּת גָּדוֹל זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ וְכוּ', עַד כָּאן לְשׁוֹנוֹ.
113. This relates to that which appears above: “Like a warrior eager to run the course….” This is because it takes strength to run this course that they could have traversed during the time the Jewish people were being reprimanded <by God>. Thus, now they run this road with great speed. [Rebbe Nachman’s] words end here.
בבְּעֵת שֶׁאָמַר זֹאת הַתּוֹרָה, שָׁמַעְתִּי אָז מִפִּיו הַקָּדוֹשׁ עִנְיָן זֶה בְּבֵאוּר יוֹתֵר, שֶׁאָמַר בְּפֵרוּשׁ עִנְיָן זֶה, לְעִנְיַן בְּנֵי אָדָם הַזּוֹכִים לַעֲשׂוֹת תְּשׁוּבָה עַל הֶעָבָר. וְאָמַר, שֶׁאַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁזּוֹכִים לְתַקֵּן מַה שֶּׁעָבַר, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן עֲדַיִן הֵיכָן הוּא אוֹתוֹ הַזְּמַן שֶׁהָיוּ רְחוֹקִים מֵהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, שֶׁהָיוּ יְכוֹלִים לַעֲבֹד אֶת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ בְּאוֹתוֹ הַזְּמַן, וּבְוַדַּאי צְרִיכִים לְתַקֵּן זֹאת, דְּהַיְנוּ לְהַשְׁלִים וּלְמַלֹּאת אֶת הָעֲבוֹדָה שֶׁהָיוּ יְכוֹלִים לַעֲבֹד אֶת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ בְכָל אוֹתוֹ הָעֵת שֶׁהָיוּ נְזוּפִים מִלְּפָנָיו יִתְבָּרַךְ וּרְחוֹקִים מִמֶּנּוּ.
2When he delivered this lesson, I heard a clearer explanation of this matter from his holy lips. In explaining this topic he connected it to the topic of people meriting to repent for the past. He said: Although they merit rectifying what was, what of the time that they were distant from God? They could have been serving God during that time. They certainly have to rectify this—i.e., to complete and make up the service they could have served God during all that time they were being reprimanded by God and were distant from Him.
געַל־כֵּן אַחַר שֶׁזּוֹכִין לְהִתְעוֹרֵר לִתְשׁוּבָה, צְרִיכִין זְרִיזוּת גָּדוֹל בַּעֲבוֹדָתוֹ יִתְבָּרַךְ, וְלָרוּץ מְאֹד מְאֹד, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּזְכֶּה עַל־יְדֵי זְרִיזוּת עֲבוֹדָתוֹ לְתַקֵּן וּלְהַשְׁלִים גַּם חֶסְרוֹן הָעֲבוֹדָה שֶׁל הַיָּמִים שֶׁעָבְרוּ, כִּי עַכְשָׁו צָרִיךְ לָרוּץ בִּמְהִירוּת גָּדוֹל זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ שֶׁהָיָה יָכוֹל לֵילֵךְ בִּזְמַן שֶׁהָיָה רָחוֹק מֵהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ.
3Therefore, after a person merits awakening to repentance, he needs great zealousness in serving God, making great haste so that through the zealousness of his service he merits rectifying and completing also the missing service of the days that passed. For now he must very quickly run this road which he could have traversed during the time that he was distant from God.
דוְאָמַר לַאֲנָשָׁיו בְּזֶה הַלָּשׁוֹן: אִיר דַארְפְט זִיךְ זֵיעֶר יָאגִין, אִיר זָאלְט נָאךְ קֶענִין עֶפִּיס חַאפִּין:
4Then [Rebbe Nachman] said to his followers these words: “You have to really push yourselves, so that you might still manage to accomplish something.”
