Birkat Habayit, Jewish Home Blessing - Hebrew, English, Transliteration 

There is no single universally accepted text for Birkat HaBayit (בִּרְכַּת הַבַּיִת). Different Jewish communities and artists use slightly different versions. One of the most common traditional versions is:

Hebrew

בְּבַיִת זֶה

תִּשְׁרֶה הַבְּרָכָה

וְהַצְלָחָה

שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה

פַּרְנָסָה וְכַלְכָּלָה

רַחֲמִים וְחַיִּים

שָׁלוֹם וְרֵעוּת

וְלֹא תִשָּׁמַע בּוֹ שׁוּם צָרָה

וְשׁוּם צַעַר

וְלֹא תִמָּצֵא בּוֹ שׁוּם מַחֲלָה

וְיִהְיוּ דִבְרֵי תוֹרָה

נִשְׁמָעִים בּוֹ תָּמִיד.

English Translation

In this home

May blessing dwell,

And success.

Joy and gladness,

Livelihood and sustenance,

Compassion and life,

Peace and friendship.

May no trouble be heard within it,

Nor sorrow,

May no illness be found within it,

And may words of Torah

Always be heard within it.

A longer version often displayed in Jewish homes concludes with the priestly blessing from the Torah:

"May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His face toward you and grant you peace."
(Numbers 6:24–26)

This combination of Birkat HaBayit and the Priestly Blessing is commonly found on decorative plaques hung near a home's entrance.
