Third B’rakhah: God’s Holiness

THE KEDUSHAH

The Kedushah is recited only with a minyan.
Hebrew
נְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת־שִׁמְךָ בָּעוֹלָם,
כְּשֵׁם שֶׁמַּקְדִּישִׁים אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁמֵי מָרוֹם,
כַּכָּתוּב עַל יַד נְבִיאֶךָ, וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל זֶה וְאָמַר:
Israeli
nekadesh et-shimcha ba-olam,
k'shem shemakdishim oto bishmei marom,
kakatuv al yad nevi-echa, vekara zeh El zeh ve-amar:
English
We hallow Your name in this world as it is hallowed in the high heavens, as Your prophet Isaiah described: Each cried out to the other:
Hebrew
קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ יהוה צְבָאוֹת,
מְלֹא כָל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדוֹ.
Israeli
kadosh kadosh kadosh Adonai Tz'va-ot,
melo chol-ha-aretz k'vodo.
English
“Holy, holy, holy is Adonai Tz’va-ot, the whole world is filled with God’s glory!”
Hebrew
אָז בְּקוֹל רַעַשׁ גָּדוֹל אַדִּיר וְחָזָק מַשְׁמִיעִים קוֹל,
מִתְנַשְּׂאִים לְעֻמַּת שְׂרָפִים, לְעֻמָּתָם בָּרוּךְ יֹאמֵרוּ:
Israeli
az b'kol ra-ash gadol adir vechazak mashmi-im kol,
mitnase-im le-umat s'rafim, le-umatam baruch yomeru:
English
Then in thunderous voice, rising above the chorus of serafim, other heavenly beings call out words of blessing:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד יהוה מִמְּקוֹמוֹ.
Israeli
baruch k'vod Adonai mimekomo.
English
“Praised is Adonai’s glory wherever God dwells.”
Hebrew
מִמְּקוֹמְךָ מַלְכֵּנוּ תוֹפִיעַ, וְתִמְלֹךְ עָלֵינוּ, כִּי מְחַכִּים אֲנַחְנוּ
לָךְ. מָתַי תִּמְלֹךְ בְּצִיּוֹן, בְּקָרוֹב בְּיָמֵינוּ, לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד תִּשְׁכּוֹן.
תִּתְגַּדֵּל וְתִתְקַדֵּשׁ בְּתוֹךְ יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עִירְךָ,
לְדוֹר וָדוֹר וּלְנֵצַח נְצָחִים. וְעֵינֵינוּ תִרְאֶינָה מַלְכוּתֶךָ,
כַּדָּבָר הָאָמוּר בְּשִׁירֵי עֻזֶּךָ, עַל יְדֵי דָוִד מְשִׁיחַ צִדְקֶךָ:
Israeli
mimekomecha malkenu tofia, vetimloch aleinu, ki mechakim anachnu
lach. matai timloch b'Tziyon, b'karov b'yameinu, le-olam va-ed tishkon.
titgadel vetitkadesh b'toch Yerushalayim irecha,
ledor vador ulenetzach netzachim. ve-eineinu tirenah malchutecha,
kadavar ha-amur b'shirei uzecha, al yedei David meshiach tzidkecha:
English
Our sovereign, manifest Yourself from wherever You dwell, and rule over us, for we await You. When shall You rule in Zion? Let it be soon, in our day, and throughout all time. May You be exalted and sanctified in Jerusalem, Your city, from one generation to another, forever and ever. May our eyes behold Your dominion, as described in the songs of praise offered to You by David, rightfully anointed:
Hebrew
יִמְלֹךְ יהוה לְעוֹלָם, אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן לְדֹר וָדֹר, הַלְלוּיָהּ.
Israeli
yimloch Adonai le-olam, Elohayich Tziyon ledor vador, haleluyah.
English
“Adonai will reign forever; your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluyah!”
Hebrew
לְדוֹר וָדוֹר נַגִּיד גָּדְלֶךָ, וּלְנֵצַח נְצָחִים קְדֻשָּׁתְךָ נַקְדִּישׁ.
וְשִׁבְחֲךָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִפִּינוּ לֹא יָמוּשׁ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד,
כִּי אֵל מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל וְקָדוֹשׁ אָתָּה.
Israeli
ledor vador nagid godlecha, ulenetzach netzachim k'dushatcha nakdish.
veshivchacha Eloheinu mipinu lo yamush le-olam va-ed,
ki El melech gadol vekadosh atah.
English
From generation to generation we will declare Your greatness, and forever sanctify You with words of holiness. Your praise will never leave our lips, for You are God and Sovereign, great and holy.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, הָאֵל הַקָּדוֹשׁ.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai, ha-El hakadosh.
English
Barukh atah Adonai, the Holy God.
On Shabbat Shuvah we substitute:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ.
Israeli
baruch atah Adonai, hamelech hakadosh.
English
Barukh atah Adonai, the Holy Sovereign.
