Since I've been asked, here's the full translation of what I posted the other day.


Mourner's Kaddish
Translation is line-for-line

Yeetgadal v' yeetkadash sh'mey rabbah (Cong. Amein).

May His great Name grow exalted and sanctified (Cong. Amen.)
in the world that He created as He willed.
May He give reign to His kingship in your lifetimes and in your days,
and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel,
swiftly and soon. Let us say: Amen.
(Cong Amen. May His great Name be blessed forever and ever.)
May His great Name be blessed forever and ever.
Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled,
mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, Blessed is He
(Cong. Blessed is He)
beyond any blessing and song,
praise and consolation that are uttered in the world. Let us say: Amen.
(Cong. Amen).
May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and life
upon us and upon all Israel. Let us say: Amen.
(Cong. Amen).
He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace,
upon us and upon all Israel. Let us say: Amen.
(Cong. Amen).

One of the things that always stands out to me is that the above isn't a prayer about death or the dead, but about the glory of the Divine. Just thought I'd mention that for the sake of mentioning.

In case anyone is curious about the "weird" mourning practices I was raised with, take a look here. Not really suggested reading unless your curious about it specifically, though most of the people who are actually reading this will probably follow it anyway.
