Translation:
Shalom upon you,
O ministering angels,
Angels of the Exalted One.

From the King who reigns over kings, the Holy One,
Blessed is He.

May your coming be for shalom,
O angels of shalom,
Angels of the Exalted One.

From the King Who reigns over kings, the Holy One,
Blessed is He.

Bless me for shalom,
O angels of shalom,
Angels of the Exalted One.

From the King Who reigns over kings, the Holy One,
Blessed is He.

May your departure be to shalom,
O angels of shalom,
Angels of the Exalted One.

From the King who reigns over kings, the Holy One,
Blessed is He.
