אָבִינוּ הָרִאשׁוֹן אַבְרָהָם

Our first father Avraham 

בִּגְלַל עֲבוֹדָתוֹ בִּמְסִירַת נֶפֶשׁ

because of his self-sacrificing labors

לְפַרְסֵם אֱלֹקוּתוֹ יִתְבָּרֵךְ — אֵל אֶחָד — לְכָל בְּנֵי הָעוֹלָם

in making the oneness of G‑d known to all the inhabitants of the world,

זָכָה לְהַנְחִיל לְזַרְעוֹ עַד סוֹף כָּל הַדּוֹרוֹת

he was found worthy of endowing his descendants as an eternal inheritance

אֶת הָאֱמוּנָה הַטְּהוֹרָה בַּה' וּבְתוֹרָתוֹ

a pure faith in G‑d and His Torah

וְכָל אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל

Every Jewish man or woman

יֵשׁ לָהֶם הַכֹּחַ וְהָעוֹז

has the strength and fortitude

לִמְסוֹר נַפְשָׁם עַל הַתּוֹרָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה

to absolutely devote his or her life for the sake of our holy Torah.
