How to read the transliterations
Some omit:
Hebrew
וְלֹא נְתַתּוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְגוֹיֵי הָאֲרָצוֹת,
וְלֹא הִנְחַלְתּוֹ מַלְכֵּנוּ לְעוֹבְדֵי פְסִילִים,
וְגַם בִּמְנוּחָתוֹ לֹא יִשְׁכְּנוּ עֲרֵלִים,
כִּי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמְּךָ נְתַתּוֹ בְּאַהֲבָה, לְזֶרַע יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר בָּם
בָּחָרְתָּ. עַם מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁבִיעִי, כֻּלָּם יִשְׂבְּעוּ וְיִתְעַנְּגוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ,
וְהַשְּׁבִיעִי רָצִיתָ בּוֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ, חֶמְדַּת יָמִים אוֹתוֹ קָרָאתָ,
זֵכֶר לְמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית.
Israeli
velo netato Adonai Eloheinu legoyei ha-aratzot,
velo hinchalto malkenu le-ovdei f'silim,
vegam bimnuchato lo yishkenu arelim,
ki leyisra-el amecha netato be-ahavah, lezera Ya-akov asher bam
bacharta. am mekadshei sh'vi-i, kulam yisbeu veyitanegu mituvecha,
vehashvi-i ratzita bo vekidashto, chemdat yamim oto karata,
zecher lema-aseh v'reishit.
English
But, Adonai our God, You have not given it to the nations of the world, nor, our Sovereign, have You bestowed it on idol worshippers, nor do the uncircumcised find rest on this day, for With love, You have given Shabbat to the people Israel, the descendants of Jacob, whom You have chosen. The people who sanctify the seventh day shall feel fulfilled and shall delight in Your goodness, for You Yourself were pleased with the seventh day and sanctified it, calling it the most beloved of days, a symbol of the work of creation.
Hebrew
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ [וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ], רְצֵה בִמְנוּחָתֵנוּ,
קַדְּשֵׁנוּ בְמִצְוֹתֶיךָ וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְתוֹרָתֶךָ,
שַׂבְּעֵנוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ, וְשַׂמְּחֵנוּ בִישׁוּעָתֶךָ,
וְטַהֵר לִבֵּנוּ לְעָבְדְּךָ בֶאֱמֶת,
וְהַנְחִילֵנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְאַהֲבָה וּבְרָצוֹן שַׁבַּת קָדְשֶׁךָ,
וְיָנוּחוּ בָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁמֶךָ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַּׁבָּת.

Fifth B’rakhah: The Restoration of Zion

Hebrew
רְצֵה, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, בְּעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבִתְפִלָּתָם,
וְהָשֵׁב אֶת־הָעֲבוֹדָה לִדְבִיר בֵּיתֶךָ,
וּתְפִלָּתָם בְּאַהֲבָה תְקַבֵּל בְרָצוֹן,
וּתְהִי לְרָצוֹן תָּמִיד עֲבוֹדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל עַמֶּךָ.

Adonai our God, embrace Your people Israel and their prayer. Restore worship to Your sanctuary. May the prayers of the people Israel be lovingly accepted by You, and may our service always be pleasing.
