mah sheʾakhalnu yihyeh ləsovʿa umah sheshshatiynu yihyeh lirfuʾa
umah shshehotarnu yihyeh livrakha kdikhtiyv
vayyitteyn lifneyhem vayokhlu vayyotiyru kidvar Adonai
b'rukhiym ʾattem ladonai ʿoseyh shamayim vaʾaretz
barukh haggever ʾasher yivtaḥ badonai vəhaya aʾdonay mivtaḥo
ʾadonay ʿoz ləʿammo yitteyn ʾdonay yəvareykh ʾetʿammo vashshalom
kiyhisbbiyaʿ nefesh shokeyka vənefesh rəʿeyva milleytov
hodu ladonay kiy tov kiy ləʿolam ḥasdo
מַה שֶּׁאָכַלְנוּ יִהְיֶה לְשָׂבְעָה. וּמַה שֶּׁשָּׁתִינוּ יִהְיֶה לִרְפוּאָה.
וּמַה שֶּׁהוֹתַרְנוּ יִהְיֶה לִבְרָכָה כְּדִכְתִיב
וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיּאכְלוּ וַיּוֹתִירוּ כִּדְבַר יי:
בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיי. עוֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ:
בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּיי. וְהָיָה יי מִבְטָחוֹ:
יי עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן. יי יְבָרֵךְ אֶת-עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם:
כִּי-הִשְׂבִּיעַ, נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה; וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה, מִלֵּא-טוֹב.
הודוּ ליי כִּי טוב. כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:

Translation:

May what we have eaten be for nourishme​nt and what we have drank shall be for healing
And what we have left over shall be for a blessing as it is written
"And he placed it before them and they ate and left over as Adonai said."
Bless​​ed are you of Adonai, creator of heaven and earth.
Bless​​ed is the one who trusts in Adonai, and Adonai shall be his stronghol​d.
Adona​i will give strength to His people, Adonai will bless his people with peace.
For he has nourished​ the wanting soul, and has filled the hungry one with good.
Prais​e Adonai for He is good, His kindness lasts forever.

-Tran​slation by Gabe Seed
