זֶה בְּנִי בְכוֹרִי הוּא פֶּֽטֶר רֶֽחֶם לְאִמּוֹ וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא צִוָּה לִפְדּוֹתוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וּפְדוּיָו מִבֶּן־חֹֽדֶשׁ תִּפְדֶּה, בְּעֶרְכְּךָ כֶּֽסֶף חֲמֵֽשֶׁת שְׁקָלִים בְּשֶֽׁקֶל הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ, עֶשְׂרִים גֵּרָה הוּא׃

English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017

זֶה This is my firstborn son, the first issue of his mother’s womb. The Holy One, blessed be He, has commanded us to redeem him, as is said, “Those who are to be redeemed, you must redeem from the age of one month, at the fixed price of five shekels of silver by the sacred standard, which is twenty gerahs to the shekel.”

וְנֶאֱמַר קַדֶּשׁ־לִי כָל־בְּכוֹר פֶּֽטֶר כָּל־רֶֽחֶם בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָה, לִי הוּא׃

English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017

And it is also stated, “Consecrate to Me every firstborn; the first of every womb among the people of Israel, whether of man or beast, belongs to Me.”

מַאי בָּעֵית טְפֵי לִתֵּן לִי בִּנְךָ בְכוֹרְךָ שֶׁהוּא פֶּֽטֶר רֶֽחֶם לְאִמּוֹ אוֹ בָּעֵית לִפְדּוֹתוֹ בְּעַד חָמֵשׁ סְלָעִים כְּדִמְחַיַּבְתְּ מִדְּאוֹרַיְתָא.

English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017

מַאי Which do you prefer: to give me your firstborn son, the first birth of his mother, or to redeem him for five selas as you are bound to do according to the Torah?

חָפֵץ אֲנִי לִפְדּוֹת אֶת בְּנִי וְהֵילָךְ דְּמֵי פִדְיוֹנוֹ כְּדִמְחַיַּֽבְנָא מִדְּאוֹרַיְתָא.

English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017

חָפֵץ I wish to redeem my son. I present you with the cost of his redemption which I am bound to give according to the Torah.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל פִּדְיוֹן הַבֵּן.

בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

יְשִׂמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כְּאֶפְרַֽיִם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁה׃ יְבָרֶכְךָ יהוה וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ׃ יָאֵר יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶֽיךָ וִיחֻנֶּֽךָּ׃ יִשָּׂא יהוה פָּנָיו אֵלֶֽיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם׃ יהוה שֹׁמְרֶֽךָ, יהוה צִלְּךָ עַל־יַד יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ יהוה יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל־רָע, יִשְׁמֹר אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃ כִּי אֹֽרֶךְ יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת חַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם יוֹסִֽיפוּ לָךְ׃

יְשִׂמְךָ May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh. May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you.

He will guard your life. For length of days, years of life, and peace He will increase for you.
