The Mourner’s Kaddish (English Translation)
May God's illustrious name become increasingly great and holy
In the world that God created according to God's will,
and may God establish God's kingdom
In your lifetime and in your days
and in the lifetime of all the house of Israel
Speedily and soon. And let us say amen.
May God's illustrious name be blessed always and forever.
Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled
Honoured, raised up and acclaimed
be the name of the Holy one blessed be He
beyond every blessing hymn, praise and consolation
that is uttered in the world. And let us say amen.
May abundant peace from heaven, and life
Be upon us and upon all Israel. And let us say amen.
May God who makes peace in high places
Make peace upon us and upon all Israel,
And let us say amen.
